I'm at the six months stage with DD1. Since we've found we were expecting a girl we've been calling her Thea Alexandra (Alexandra is a family name but Thea is just a name we both really like). However I've started to wobble a bit on the name especially since I recently met a greyhound called Tia who was owned by a sulky teenage Alexandra!
DH is french and the name has to work in both English and French, though pronunciation can differ. She's taking DH's surname which is italian and scans like Bacardi
Other names on our short list are
Alaïs (pronounced as with Anaïs but with an 'l') old basque name
Oriane (ori- ann) DH's favourite, lovely with french accent but I'm not so sure
Delphine
Elisabeth/Elizabeth
I also love Eleanor and Claudia, but DH has vetoed.
Any thoughts on Thea Alexandra/names on our list or other suggestions are very welcome.
