Pg with DC4, boy's name will be Eric Steven (family names), girl's name?? I haven't a clue.

DDs' are called Lilith Louise, Alethea Ivy (aka Thea) and Callia Seren.

We like Welsh names (family from there), Greek names (I just like Ancient Greek plays/poems), virtue names (DH & I have virtue names) and strong female/feminist names (hence Lilith!). Only one rule - first initial can't be A, C, J, L, T or V as we already have those as first initials.

Any ideas?

Delphi
Isis
hero
Hestia

You seem to like the "th" sound. How about Elizabeth, Elspeth or Bethany?

Dione
Gaea

Ah, should have said we're trying to avoid TH as it doesn't get pron. well round here (Lilith is pron Lil-IFF, Alethea is alee-FFee-yer - erk!).

Thanks for the suggestions I like Hestia and Gaea though Gaea will be pron. Gayer I expect

Love your existing DDs' names.

Some suggestions:

Welsh:
Bronwyn
Anwen
Nia
Essylt
Bethan
Ionwyn
Isolde
Meredith

Greek:
Phoebe
Hera
Helena
Athena
Daphne
Callista
Xanthe

Virtue:
Honor
Hope
Faith
Felicity
Seren (and welsh as well!)

Strong women:
Emmeline (as in Pankhurst)
Florence (as in Nightingale)
Joan (as in of Arc!)
Mary (as in Woolstoncroft, Magdenlene, Queen of Scots, etc!)
Rosa (as in Parks or Luxenburg)
Bille (as in Jean King)
Virginia (as in Woolf)
Alexandra (as in Kollontai -and Greek as well!)
Anne (as in Frank)
Eva (as in Peron)
Mo (as in Mowlam!)

Billie (Jean King) not Bille -Bile is not a good suggestion!

Ooh, I like some of birdofthenorth's suggestions.

Was going to suggest Emmeline as well. It was on my list, but DH didn't like it.

Bronwyn and Bethan/Bethany are also lovely, as are Helena and Rosa. I like Mo, too. (Could be short for Maureen or Imogen, perhaps?)

All strong yet feminine.

I understand how you feel, I have 5 girls and 0 boys!

How about:
Bronwen Grace
Morwenna Faith
Edith Hope

Mercy

underused virtue name

Olwen
Rhiannon

Saskia, a good strong female name.
Emmeline
Christabel

Not really feeling any of them - sorry! I like Bronwyn (was a contender for DD2's middle name but it doesn't have 'It' IYKWIM), I like Emmeline (contender for DD1 but Emily is popular/the Madelaine type names are popular), I just haven't seen a name that goes 'call your baby this!'.

Probably expecting a bit too much!

Erica Stephanie?

Erin Stephanie?

Electra
Echo
Evangeline

Evangeline? That's quite nice. Lilith, Alethea, Callia and Evangeline - does that go?

Eleri
Meredith
Nia
Hope
Helena

Euphemia [Effie]
Ottillie

Germaine (nn Minnie perhaps) - or is that too feminist?

When I first read your DD's names I thought "Saskia" - not Welsh though.

Evangeline does go - but the natural nn for it would be Evie, personally I like the name but you might not be happy with something so popular at the moment.

I think I'd go with Ever as a NN (as in Ev-Ange-line) I'll run it past DH (the more sane one of the marriage!)

I like Euphemia but would be tempted by Mia as a NN and I know 2 or 3 Mia's.

Delilah
Demetria
Isadora
Sylvia
Maricela
Georgina
Persephone
Hermione
Zara
Susan
Zinnia

Emmeline is gorgeous and you could have Emmie as a nickname which is also lovely

also liking Evangeline and Isadora from this thread!

how about:
Genevieve
Stella
Tabitha
Violet
Eleanora
Ophelia
Cordelia
Delphina
Zelda
Zara

am ignoring your initials thing, cos the right name might just have the same initial!!!

Octavia
Augusta

I am 'girl number 4' (of 6) and m called Sarah
