DH and I cannot agree on a name for our little girl. When I was pg we had a shortlist but couldn't decide on one so we decided to wait until she was born and hope a name would just jump out at us. No such luck. Why is it so hard to agree on a nice name?!

We already have a DS called Cristiano so it would have to go with that. We quite like Eva but not certain it's the right choice. Any suggestions?

Evangeline? Slightly more elaborate than Eva but along the same lines. I think Christiano and Eva compliment each other really well though, and would go for that if you like it Smile

melikalikimaka · 03/02/2011 13:29

Have you tried the MNs baby name finder?

Marcella, Anastasia or Annalise.

I also like Evelina, Eva for short?

SilkStalkings · 02/02/2011 16:21

Eva's ok but a bit ubiquitous compared to Christiano. I'm liking the short and European sound though.

yy Gabriela was a typo.

sparkle12mar08 · 02/02/2011 11:32

Gabriella is lovely, and I very much like Lena mentioned above.

eatyourveg · 01/02/2011 20:11

I like HettyAmaretti's suggestion of Gabriella (can be double L can't it??) it goes really well with Christiano, more so than any of the other suggestions so far

I will throw in Katia, Magdalena and Isabelle as my offering but Hetty takes the winner's prize I reckon

nipplesofthenorth · 01/02/2011 20:10

Evelina - could shorten to Evie or Eva?

Juliana
Julietta

If it helps we called dd2 a name that we changed after 4 months... It was no problem. If it doesn't feel right, it ain't right. I early understand your predicament though
