Christabel? Or Felicity or Rosamund?

[mrsgboring]

Please humour me through the two week wait.

We've had a longstanding plan to call a DD Felicity, but it alliterates with DS's name, so I don't know if I can get away with it. Can you have Philip and Felicity?

Now my mind is wandering to Christabel, or Rosamund. Opinions?

I also love Hermione but Harry Potter has done for that one.

Any other suggestions gladly received.

* note to anyone who knows me IRL * DH and I are fairly defensive and secretive about names, so just don't let on you've seen this.

Rosamund is nicer than Christobel.
In fact I love it.
Also rate Hermione, at least now everyone can say it.

[MaryAnnSingleton]

Rosamund

[Weegiemum]

I like Christabel.

Great connotations!

[mrsgboring]

Ooo I like Flick and Phil: that is fab.

I love Christabel, but I feel like we might not be able to get away with it. But I do love the connotations, especially Christabel LaMotte (reading Possession made me decide to study English Lit - if I hadn't, I may not have met DH)

[Stars22]

Out of the 3 i prefer Felicity.

[TwoWindyDays]

Antigone
Persephone

I like Flick and Phil as well

[mrsgboring]

Ah, thank you, TwoWindyDays, I was thinking more pretty Victoriana than grandiose classical (maybe Christabel isn't as pretty as I thought...?)

Am so happy with Flick and Phil though! Now all I have to do is get pregnant [frustrated] (and have a girl, obviously.)

[mamabea]

Love Felicity

[ForeverOptimistic]

I love Christabel & Felicity but I agree that Felicity & Philip are too similar.

[JuneBugJen]

Felicity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not sure about Christabel.

[mrsgboring]

Oh I'll just have to have a boy in between then. What shall I call him?

[tiredlady]

Rosamund, definately

[CantSleepWontSleep]

Felicity - don't think it's like Philip at all!
If this bump had been a girl then we'd have had a Philippa and a Felicity!

[fizzbuzz]

I love Christobel, but am ashamed to admit it

Christobel Pankhurst great heroine. I think this is why I like it. It is one of my favourite names, but could never have called dd it.....but don't know why!

[pointydog]

hmm, I'm not keen on any of them.

I like Rosa a lot.

[PinkyDinkyDooToo]

Christabel, or Felicity I don't see a problem with that and your DS's name

[reginaphilangy]

I prefer Felicity out of that bunch. Lovely name.

And don't forget, they're not forever going to be known as Phillip and Felicity. They are individuals.

You never know, you could name her Christobel and she could marry Christopher and you'll always regret not calling her Felicity

[MrsMattie]

Rosamund is horrible - cold, upper class, the least nice of all the 'Rose' names.

Christabel - a bit twee.

Felicity - has grown on me loads recently, actually.

[Elkat]

Felicity is the nicest name by far, and I think if you chose something else, you might always regret it. Go with what you feel. I also think that it is more important that you choose the right name for her, not waht fits in with the family. Its only for the first 18 or so years of her life she'll be philip and felicity, once she's married she'll be Felicity and X (insert hubby's name) for the next 60 years! So go with what suits her best. (Oh and they do go fine imho!)

[TwoWindyDays]

I kinda like posh Classical

Victoriana hmm
how about
Henrietta
Adelaide

I still like Flick

[Celery]

I love Christabel, it's my most favourite girls name ever, but dh vitoed it. Could be shortened to Christa, which I also love.

Also love Genevieve.

[Piffle]

Pankhurst suffragette memories
Dd was intended to be emmeline christabel but dp threatened me with allsprts
So she is Emmy
