Please find my baby a name

[pottypit]

Baby no.5 is 5 wks old and still has no name We've sort of got a short list but I can't say she looks like any of them or that I love any of them but we're getting desperate. What do you think or any suggestions very welcome.
Louisa (don't like Lou)
Imogen
Harriet
Felicity

We're trying to avoid top 20 names and our surname is Clark which rules out my favourite name Clara

[Gumby]

What have you been calling her for the last 5 weeks?!?

[Gumby]

What about Rosa, Hope, Elanor, Lauren, Anne?

[Harecare]

What's wrong with Clara Clark? Clara Harriet Clark maybe? That way if she hates Clara Clark she has another choice of name to use.

[Harecare]

Calla?

[JimbosJetSet]

Lara?

[chocablock]

I love Imogen, it is my DD's middle name. What about Gianna? I have a friend with that name and like it.

[sleepevader]

Imogen is lovely. It's my dds middle name.

[Selks]

mmmm....Clara Clark is a bit like Matthew Matthews etc....I can understand your hesitation with that.

How about -
Bethany Clara Clark (Clara as middle name)
Imogen Clara Clark
Anna Clara Clark
Eloise Clara Clark

[cece]

I think any of those names are lovely, including Clara.

Other suggestions;

Helena
Emma
Claudia
Anna
Verity

[squeak2392]

My favourite is Imogen, but they're all lovely (although I wouldn't use Louisa if you feel that way about Lou and you don't love it).

My first thought was Scarlett, but I'm not sure about Scarlett Clark.

[chocjunkie]

imogen :) it is lovely!

[pottypit]

Thanks for your replies, we've called her different names to try them out and she was Tinkerbell for Christmas which is the only name her 3yr old brother likes
Rose keeps weirdly coming up, we went to see Santa and I asked if the baby could have a name for Christmas and he suggested rose. Then for Christmas she was given a soft toy who had a label saying my name is Rosa. But Dh says no.... Middle name maybe

[flopsy1974]

Imogen and Harriet are both lovely

[rocket74]

I love Harriet.
other suggestions

Luella?

i also love Clara and like it when first and second names are similar.
I have known a William (bill) Williams and a Sam Samuels and they seem ok with it!

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Love all of them but Harriet is my favourite (wanted it for dd2 but dp didn't like it).

You are right to rule out Clara. Clara Clark sounds ridiculous, I'm afraid.

Harriet Louisa is a lovely combo.

[FatimaLovesBread]

What about Elouisa?

[TheHouseofMirth]

I'm assuming you want us to suggest other names in a similar style to those you've listed otherwise you would have already chosen one of them? (Although I do like Felicity and Harriet).

Audrey
Elizabeth (Betsy or Libby for short + lots of other diminutives to choose from)
Margaux/Margot
Miranda
Isabella

FWIW I have a name similar to Louisa and no-one ever shortens it to Lou.

What are your other DC called?

[4madboys]

i like felicity, it was a possibility for my dd! she is a merryn which we love :)

other possibles were genevieve, meredith, eliza or bonnie :)

[missboots]

Lara is lovely. Lara Clark sounds great imo.

[PuraVida]

I have a name that's alliterative, not dissimilar to Clara Clarke and I like it so much I'm keeping it when (if) I get married

I think Clara Clarke sounds lovely

[MudAndGlitter]

Imogen is lovely.

[rebecklet]

I really like Harriet and Harriet Rosa sounds lovely.

[BlueChampagne]

I knew a Louisa called Weezie, but that might not be any better than Lou! But Louisa shouldn't need shortening within the family, and you won't be able to govern playground abbreviations without her help.

I also like (and think would go with Clarke):
Meredith
Meryl
Tamsin
Kirsten/Kirsty
Leonie

[MudAndGlitter]

Tinkerbell is nice

[JestersHat]

Louisa Clark - best of the list :)
Imogen Clark - not so keen
Harriet Clark - too consonant-heavy
Felicity Clark - lovely :)
