Have namechanged to be able to provide a bit more info to help you help me!

I'm 29wks pg and was feeling all smug about how I'd chosen DD2's name at about 8wks, but I've become more and more unsure and it just doesn't seem to be 'the one' anymore!

Both DH and I loved 'Juliet' but at almost the same time as I was starting to wobble about it, DH came out and said he wasn't sure about it anymore either. Argh!

Our new list is basically:

Sophia
Olivia
Hollie
Lois

DD1 is called Gabriella, our surname starts with H and only has one syllable - it's quite close to 'House' just to give you more to work with.

My total favourite from the list now is Hollie, but just worried it will sound strange with her surname also starting with an 'H' and being quite short. Also not sure how well it goes with DD1. DH's favourite is Lois.

What do you think? Any other name suggestions are also welcome! Smile

Juliet!

I would have said Juliet if it were still on your list. I like the suggestion of Susannah from Ragwort

Olivia

yes Juliet is lovely, unusual these days and classic name
am not really that taken with any of your other choices sorry

Sophia

Hollie H* will sound a bit odd, don't think the other two suggestions would go with an H surname either.

Juliet is lovely, so is Julia - both quite unusual these days.

Caroline?

Susannah?

Ooh I love Gabriella but I don't think any of the names you've listed are as lovely as that. Juliet is much nicer than the others you've mentioned. :)
