If we have a Max, an Isabella and a Florence what can DD3 be?

[fyrtlemertile]

Expecting DD3 this September after having twins in Sept. 10 and a son in June 08 and DH is massively a bit stressed about this pregnancy (I am oddly calm, I think looking after the 3 we already have uses up all my stress energy...)

I think if we can 'sort out' a name (or possibly 2/3 alternatives) first name middle name possibilities then he'll start seeing bump as a real little girl, not another drain on our financial resources/noise making machine/reason his wife probably won't sleep with him until 2015...

So far we have Max, Florence and Isabella (Middle names are James, Olivia and Violet). Our surname is 2 syllables and starts with a T. We are fairly sure bump is a little girl.

We had a good list for boys (typical) but after using our 4 favourite girls names less than a year ago we're a bit stuck...

Possibles include Lydia, Adelaide, Elizabeth, Henrietta and Hannah with Ruby and Maisie contenders for middle names but neither of us are particularly excited about any of them and we absolutely adored the older girls names, it seems unfair to give DD3 a 'meh' name...

Ok, you'll love it or hate it, but Delphine? NM Delphie?

It's got the same Victorian feel as your other names and is quite unusual....

Emily?

Or Eloise?

Max, Florence, Isabella and Eloise.

Romilly?

Camille?

Sylvie?

Rowena seems to come from the same 'family' too.

In terms of the siblings' names working well together, I think perhaps you need a shorter name this time - Florence and Isabella are quite long, and it would be more balanced if they are bookended with Max and DDShortName, IYKWIM.

For some reason I really feel it should begin with an A. Not sure why and not sure what name but that is my thought

Phoebe
Constance
Amelie

I like Adelaide from your list

Kudos to you having another so soon after twins!

[nikki1978]

Amelia or Aveline?

[fyrtlemertile]

Lis, no kudos required, DD3 was not planned, at all, even a little bit!

NB for breastfeeding to be a reliable contraceptive you have to be feeding on demand, as I had twins and a toddler I got into a regimented routine very quickly!!!!

I think I'm just not letting DH within 10ft of me until DD3 is at least 10!

Also, Max is a Maximilian but never ever known as one so they do all have long names! Think DD£ could be a bit peeved in a few years id she's 'Jo'

(no offence to any Jos out there)

Oh, where did my post go?

I was trying to suggest Louisa with a one-syllable middle name like Jane, Beth, Grace, but probably not May because of the Alcott thing.

Also like Alexa and Jemima with the above, as have the same rhythm. So pretending for a moment your surname is Teapot (which I dare say it isn't), Louisa Grace Teapot or Alexa Jane Teapot (or whatever combination) trip along quite nicely.

We knew we wanted a 3-syllable middle name with a stress on the middle syllable for DD, and used 'banana' as a substitute until we could agree on one!
