Cara, but not Cara

[VFVF]

i've posted about this name before, having my heart set on it for a while. Well today we've found out we are having a girl and DH has finally confessed to me he's not all too keen! (I guess he must have been hoping for a boy to avoid the issue!)

I've been a bit unsure about it in some ways because I'd really like to have Carolyn as the middle name and was worried it sounded a bit wrong.

So I'm asking you lovely MNetters for some inspiration to come up with a name along the lines of Cara (unusual without being unheard of) that would go well with Carolyn as the middle name? The only other name I really like is Faye but DD1 has pinched that already

Lydia or Sophia?

Zara

hmm, well there are the obvious ones... Tara, Lara, Zara?
or Claire or Clara?

Some fab suggestions thank you.
Zara is lovely but it was the family dog's name when I was small so will probably get some stick if I chose that one.

I'm liking Kirsty and Lydia, will run them by DH

Thank you NoHunIntended I'm going to check out that website!

I know a few Lydias, Ciaras and Fayes so wouldn't class any of them as unusual nowadays

I love Cara and Faye too.

A name I like, but is v popular at the moment, is Isabel, with Bel as a nn.

What on earth does it matter if it doesn't go with middle name? I cannot remember ever using my middle name in 40+ years. Choose what name you really really want for the first name - thats what matters.
