Anything like Lettice? (But less saladi-ish)?

I don't like Letitia/Laetitia etc.

DH loves Lettice. He also suggested Annora/Honora.

I really like Angelica but DH hates it.

Maybe Samantha? Antonia? Maybe Philippa? Eugenie? I like them, but I just don't love them...

DD is 4/12...
I'd honestly appreciate every suggestion.

Oh no. That's the Due Date.... sorry 😐

And I meant to write salad-ish. Not saladi-ish... 😳

Well, I stayed up until past 3 am... so, I guess that's my excuse.

4 months, I thought Molly.

Well I was going to suggest Laetitia but won't now.

How about Annis?
Or you could go retro with Gladys?

Dilys?
Cerys?

haha to Cressida, although it's a lovely name and Cressie is a nice diminuitive, I think.

Some of these suggestions are great. Thank you 😊

I do like Dahlia and Cressida. Cerys is lovely, but it reminds me of cerise...

Serena? Marianne?
Or I know a Clarissa (bear with me) known as Cassie, which suits her a lot; you could use Clarice in the same way.

Or would he go for Sorrell (as in Noel Streatfeild)?

I love Lettice but not brave enough (also don't have dailughters).

Other favourites of mine are Clover and Ursula.

Oh, and Wren.

I don't like Sorrell. But Serena is... really lovely. It sound 'fresh', is really pretty, not too popular but still a name most people have heard of. 😊

I also like Clarissa, it's really cute. But DH doesn't like it...

Marianne is too much like Marielle, imo. (Name already taken in my family...)

How about Violet? You could call her Lettie for short, that's nearly Lettice...

I know two baby Violet's already in my small circle and the OP said she didnt want popular I think.

Violent sounds the same as Violence and Violent and I dont get the fascination.
