I can't pick...can you?

[scarlettlips]

I've been over this a 100 times and i can't figure it out. I also keep changing my mind which isn't helping

We love DD's name as it's strong yet feminine whist being a bit different and not hugely popular. Not as easy second time around!!!

Grateful if you could help me pick a first and middle name. too go with DD - Honor

Katherine aka Kit
Iona (IMO sounds too much like DD's name, mn?)
Charlotte (popular, but i do like it)
Davina
India
Claudia
Beatrice aka Bibi
Alice
Rose
Marina
Darcey (can't get past 'arse' in the middle)
Violet
Cosima
Serena

[ChippingInToThePumpkinLantern]

Claudia

Absolutely Claudia out of your list.

Many of the others are too plain to go with Honor and some I just don't like (Cosima).

[scarlettlips]

Chipping that's our problem...they all seem quite plain along side Honor. It's a real bugger

[LoopyLoopsPussInBoots]

Alice, Beatrice or Cosima.

[picnicbasketcase]

I like Claudia, Serena and Beatrice. Claudia goes best with Honor.

Really don't like Cosima, Darcey, Marina and India.

[needabetternickname]

So unsurprisingly, given my list, I do v much like Beatrice and Rose. I also love Alice - it's very classic but so pretty. I know a lovely Marina and I think that goes well with Honor, although I prob wouldn't pick it myself. Agree that Claudia is pretty. Otherwise agree with Chipping...

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

I like Catherine/Kitty but not Kit
Iona (IMO sounds too much like DD's name, mn?) - too similar to Honor and not a v nice name

Charlotte- popular, but i do like it - so do I!
Davina - horrible, horrible name - sorry but it is
India - not fond
Claudia - I like it but prefer Claudette
Beatrice aka Bibi - nice
Alice - great name
Rose - ok
Marina - not fond
Darcey - ok
Violet - love it
Cosima - hate this
Serena - hate this

How about Marianne (much nicer than Marina imho) or Vivienne (miles better than Davina).

[DramaInPyjamas]

Beatrice or Violet

[Trills]

Kit or Marina for me.

[JiltedJohnsGhoulie]

Katherine aka Kit - too popular to go with Honor
Iona (IMO sounds too much like DD's name, mn?) you are right to avoid.
Charlotte (popular, but i do like it) - popular yes, nice yes but not nice enough to go with honor
Davina - ok
India - had its day now I think
Claudia - love
Beatrice aka Bibi - love but too popular
Alice - see Katherine and Beatrice
Rose - see Alice, Katherine and Charlotte
Marina - not my favourite name
Darcey (can't get past 'arse' in the middle) - no.
Violet - love but not keen on Vi
Cosima - love
Serena - ok

[scarlettlips]

The list is too long, i know...with MN's help it will been shorted

[ChippingInToThePumpkinLantern]

Shorten it to Claudia - problem solved

[SESthebrave]

Just my opinion but.....

Katherine aka Kit - I like Katharine but not Kit. I prefer Katie as a shortened version

Iona (IMO sounds too much like DD's name, mn?) - nice but does sound too much like your DD1

Charlotte (popular, but i do like it) - I like this too!

Davina - Everyone will think Davina McCall

India - nice and I think goes well with Honor

Claudia - same as for India

Beatrice aka Bibi - I like Beatrice but not Bibi. I prefer Bea

Alice - nice

Rose - ok

Marina - sorry don't like it

Darcey (can't get past 'arse' in the middle) - I like Darcey but now you've said that about "arse", you'll never forget it

Violet - ok

Cosima - sorry I don't like it

Serena - ok


I also like the suggestion of Marianne

[scarlettlips]

chipping LOL...!!

[cakeismysaviour]

If it were me, I would be shortening the list to Beatrice, Rose, Charlotte, Claudia and Violet. I have also listed them in order of preference, i.e Beatrice is my favourite.

[Ihavewelliesbutitssunny]

Genevieve
Raphaela

[Jawbreaker]

Katherine, Beatrice and Rose are my favourites. Alice is also nice.

[ImpYCelyn]

Claudia
Beatrice
Marina
Serena

Are all lovely. None of the others go well with Honor imo.

[Psammead]

I like Beatrice.

How about Ursula? I always think of it as a nice, strong, feminine name,

[MrsJohnDeere]

Claudia or Beatrice

[Willabywallaby]

Serena Catherine

[BikeRunSki]

I hate when people sugguest totally different other names on these threads, but what about Hope? I am afraid I don't really like any of your sugguestions. Maybe Alice (biased).

Honor and Hope.

Match, but different, unless you don't want the same initials.

[Methe]

Claudia!

[happyhorse]

Beatrice Serena

[Kayzr]

Violet and India are my favourite from your list.

[LeoTheLateBloomer]

Claudia Rose. The syllables (sp?) work well together.
