I am expecting my first child in January, but the names are already decided on.
My name list includes names I find interesting and appealling but I won't start to draw on it unless I have a third son or daughter. ;)
"Every nomen contains an omen." In choosing a name, you should look for good precedents, but you should also make sure that the name hasn't already exhausted itself.
For this reason, I would not choose a name like Mary, although every beautiful name for a girl is a radiance of hers.
When choosing a name for your child, have at least two reasons for your choice. Three is better.
Most importantly, trust your intuition.
(Inessa is beautiful name. It must be a form of Agnes. Sad that it's not in the database.)
Other names not in the database that I like:
Pindar (but for a girl)
Cleis
Rumer
Lauris
Thessaly
Gersemi
