Alice, Sophia or Merryn.

Emiliana is not a name, its a tongue twister!

alice - all 3 babies I know born this year have been called Alice - but it is a great name
seren - Lovely
merryn - never heard before but it's pretty without being too little girly.
elizabeth - has some good shortenings
sophia - OK
margot - maggie is ok margot isn't
emiliana - bit of a mouthful
liliana - OK
lowri - not sure, I think of matchstick men and the tv presenter
caridwen - OK if you're welsh and live in wales

Alicia Eve?

LaTristesse · 07/09/2010 08:58

alice - too popular now for my liking, but would 'go' with your other DCs names
seren - love it
merryn - pretty, i like
elizabeth - bit boring for me
sophia - nice, prefer Sophie I think, also goes with existing names
margot - not nice
emiliana - too try-hard
liliana - prefer Lily, but soooo popular
lowri - not nice
caridwen - never heard it, sounds quite harsh

I like Merryn (would prefer a spelling of Merrin personally) and Seren - DH wouldn't have either but I think they are lovely. Marin/e and Maren are also nice.

All the best, I'm in a similar position - re names - and also due next week.

I like them all except Margot (1970s housewife) and Lowri (that annoying tv presenter).

Not sure how you pronounce Caridwen.

PaulineCampbellJones · 07/09/2010 08:38

Have never heard Merryn before but think it's a lovely name. Also really like Alice.
