Ooo I really like Suki, is that short for something?

I like opal and Claudia too.

Can I ask what your other dc names are?

Love tabitha! It's our side top 250 I think.
Claudia isn't unusual.
How about Ursula, Ramona, Merren, Anita?

Ooh thanks! We're going round in circles..

I love Tabitha but worried it's becoming too popular. The others I like and love to an extent but I'm having real trouble being decisive!!

We know so many more children now iykwim!

What could be a fun/cute nickname for Octavia do you think?

Ooh I like Albertine! Could be shortened to Bertie.
Also love Clementine, but that is definitely becoming more popular
How about Wilhelmina? Lots of possible cute nicknames - Mina, Minna, Willow, Willa....

Albertine definitely isn't top 250 so would work quite well in our family.. just know some family of mine wouldn't like it!! Not that it's up to them obviously!

You've not written any beautiful unusual names! Clementine quite nice

I like Clementine and Octavia. I also love Ophelia which a PP mentioned, but only when pronounced (correctly Wink) as off-ELL-ia rather than off-EEL-ia

Ikeameatballs · 14/10/2016 19:03

I don't like Albertine or Wednesday but the others are lovely, I think Opal must be least popular.

Other names:
Agatha
Freda
Araminta
Dolores
Valentina
Vita
Fenella
Uma
Thora
Emerald

I love Octavia, it was on our list. We'd have called her Tavi for short.

We also liked Cecilia and Margot, went with Sylvie in the end.

I like Claudia best. Think Wednesday only works if your dd is born on a Wednesday bit I do like it.

Following as looking for similar names. Our shortlist is down to Cassiopeia or Tabitha but I'm still not sure. I already have an Antigone (Tiggy).

Other names I have suggested that dp seems indifferent to or dislikes:

Clementine
Calliope
Fern
Persephone (Percy)
Theodora
Clover
Nova
Sylvie
Andromeda
Eris

If you're in the UK Octavia isn't a great idea. The new model is being released soon.
