I've posted a couple of times on here but we are really struggling now and shes due in less than 5 weeks.
My dds are Jessica, Lily and Ava

I am drawn to girly but not frilly names. We like all of these but none make us think yesss

Elizabeth nn Eliza (but surname Bennett. Too Jane Austin?)
Anna - a bit meh and too many n's maybe

The above have been the front runners all the way through. Others we have thought about...
Scarlett - too many ts with surname
Francesca (I like Frankie)
Juliet (this was a front runner for a few weeks until I decided she might end up being Julie or ju neither of which I love)
Emmeline (Emmy) - dh not keen
Urmmmmmmmm there have been others.....

Anyway, any suggestions or names that you think might fit the bill.

At this rate she will end up being Anna or Elizabeth which i know are lovely names and I really like them but like I say, I'm not in love with either of them like I was with my other dcs names.

I doubt Juliet would be come Julie or Ju. More likely to be Jools, and probably not that until she was out of primary school. Is that any better?


Others...
Marissa
Stella
Lisa
Mia
Ilora

I like Nancy a lot, also Nina is another but dh not as keen.
Same with Stella (I liked Estelle)
Elsie is still a bit toogranny chic for me although I can see that it's a nice name.

I saw the Lydia thread and thought oooohhhh. I could be interested in Lydia... Lily and Lydia?
Rose is a name I wish I hadn't already used as one of our dds middle names as I would definitely be considering it if not.

Juliet is lovely isn't it.... Confused I just don't think its the one.
I like Verity.

Maybe I'm being too fussy.

I'll just call her after the midwife. Or give the dds free reign and she'll end up being called cinderella or Ariel. :o

I love Juliet too although the 't' at the end sounds a bit harsh with Bennett. You can't do Eliza I don't think although the Jane Austen association is a lovely one.

Jessica, Lily, Ava and...
Arden
Mia
Juno
Xanthe

Well, you did ask!

Poppy

Frankie (Francesca) is a great name! Really love it.

I think Esme goes really well (know it has been mentioned already) - I really liked this name for a dd but it was vetoed!
