Something like Martha which I love but can't use.

Any ideas?

Love Flora.

In fact if I ever have a DD3 I may name her Flora Maggie...

From your shortlist

Olive
Jeannie

Love Rita too

CornishMade · 29/11/2010 12:38

Was also going to suggest Freya; it sounds more down to earth than Flora, which is nice but sounds much more 'delicate'.

Love Rose. Pretty but solid.

Love Poppy too - but a bit too pretty - fragile sounding?

Rose.

Un-complicated, pretty and classic.

Honeydragon · 29/11/2010 12:24

Florence?

Takver · 29/11/2010 12:22

I was about to say Hester :)

Ragwort · 29/11/2010 12:22

No to Rita.

Like Annie and Flora best from your list.

How about Susie/Poppy/Daisy/Susannah/Heidi/Tessa/Sally?
