Ok,unexpected pregnancy alert! so we haven't done that thing where you randomly discuss names before conception ;)

Just found out we are having our 3rd girl. Wonderful news, but a boy would have been easier as we both agree on a boys name. Sheesh! he likes Amelia (in fact he is stuck on it) but as our surname is Moore I think the 'M' sound is too much? I like Lily (popular I know, but I like it) he isn't keen on my other suggestions of Regan, Rowan, Sian & Daisy.

Help! :)

I immediately thought how lovely Amelia Moore sounds. The ms don't run into each other so it does sound lyrical rather than a mouthful.

Thumbs-up from me

For the record I do like Amelia Moore - I don't think the 'M' sound is too much Smile

How about Willow? Or Thalia?

I know an Amelia and everyone calls her Lia.

Amelia Moore is good too but always consider what she will be called by her mates when she's older.

The other obvious one is Amy Moore. That too is all good, I think.

Thank you for the suggestions so far. I love Florence, but DH has the lovely habit of connecting names..my suggestion of Florence was greeted by him humming the tune to 'The Magic Roundabout' which meant he didn't like it!

Tabitha is my cat, I already have an Evie so Ivy is a bit much..and although I quite like the others DH turned his nose up.

Looks like I have 2 votes for Amelia then? Grin

i think the 'm's in Amelia Moore sound really lovely - very lyrical.

I like it actually!

Amelia Moore is just toooooo much on the 'm' front I think!
Of the names you list I like Rowan and Daisy the best.
I really, really cannot stand Regan.

How about

Elizabeth
Rosemary
Florence
Esmeralda
Penelope
Clover
Felicity
Tabitha
Primrose
Arabella
Constance
Bridget
Saffron
Ivy

I think all of these sound nice with the surname Moore. Any good?
