Baby names

A name for baby three...

Baby 3 is due in August, we already have a girl (5) and a boy (2.5), we don't know the sex of the impending arrival.

We've agreed on a boys name but can't even find a girls name that either of us are 100% sure of and I've trawled many lists!

Our children are called Elsa and Ross, a baby brother would be Max. What would you name a girl?

We're in Scotland but not set on anything particularly Scottish, definitely tend towards the more traditional type names. Just really need some inspiration...

Thank you for some suggestions, all help greatly appreciated! Clare, Joanna and Sarah are all out as are Auntie names. Elsa is Elizabeth Clare on her birth certificate after her auntie so may use them as middle names.

I think because the other two names are quite hard sounding, the 'ee' sound at the end of a third name doesn't always match. I like Erin and Iona but husband not so keen due to past associations. He did suggest Jessie which seemed to almost suit but they have a cousin Jessica so can't really use it.

Husband also likes Anne but a bit too close to Anna considering we already have an Elsa (albeit named before the Disney epic) I may as well change Ross to Olaf to get the full effect :)

I always quite liked Heather. Or Mairi.

I can't remember my other ideas but we went with sonething different in the end anyway.

I like Alice, will try that that one again, he wasn't keen early on but we've not made much progress...

Can't do Anna, just too much after frozen, they will have a cousin Hannah and I'm Laura so those are all out, also will have a cousin Abigail (maybe we just have too many girls in the family!)

Isobel I really like but is it not a different derivation of Elizabeth? Would it be strange to have both?

Have suggested Catriona and Caitlin, he wasn't keen, think I'll just choose on my own :)

Glad to see you've all chosen names similar to my thinking though, thank you all again.
