Going to have DD5!

Just found out that I am going to have a fifth DD and feeling a bit lost about names...

I was certain I was going to have a DS and we had decided on Clement Sherlock Nathaniel with Clem as a nn.... (I am into literature in a big way so couldn't resist slipping Sherlock in there somewhere)

Our DDs are called Louisa Sian Mathilde, Emmeline Cerys Isolde, Julia Estella Adele and Beatrix Evangeline Grace.

Please come up with some suggestions because I can't think of any other names I like!

Affie would be fine. I adore the name Aphra.

Ooh Aphra is lovely and I vaguely remember learning about Aphra Behn at uni and have just looked her up again - agree amazing woman.

Louisa, Emmeline, Julia, Beatrix and Aphra has quite a nice ring about it I think...

Could you get away with Affie as a nn?

Ooh love the suggestions so far!

Especially Rosalind, Nina, Margot, Francesca and Flora!

However our surname starts with an F so am wary of the alliteration...

My DH is welsh so any welsh suggestions would be welcome, also like names to have some sort of meaning iyswim?

Each of our DDs is named after someone we admire (May Alcott, Pankhurst, Morgan and Potter respectively) so if anyone knows of any strong female role models with nice names??

I would go for it but according to DH it is "the name of an orange and not a baby"??

Every other pregnancy we've just known...
