Name for sister to Arthur and Edward?

I've just given birth to an adorable DD2, but DH and I are struggling to decide on a name to go with Arthur and Edward. We'd like a classic name(but not old-fashioned) that goes well with Arthur and Edward. Please help!

thanks marlinspike, and thisfeelswierd I agree about unusual name, but the girl I know gets no teasing.
Then we have students called 'Bunny'.

Um, doesn't it make you think of otters?

Or, "utterly" (as in butterly...)

Sorry to poor cold water. I like the idea of it but the reality may be prone to teasing.

I like Imogen best.

Marlinspike · 27/03/2011 19:18

Congrats - my fave would be Imogen.

kangers, yes, Ottoline is a "real" name - Lady Ottoline Morrell was an influential member of the literary Bloomsbury group in the 20's I believe (knew that Eng Lit degree would come in handy sometime!)

kangers · 27/03/2011 19:14

Ditto OP congrats and loving your final choice (although I bet there's still time to reconsider) Best of luck

JiltedJohnsJulie · 27/03/2011 17:23

Forgot to say congratulations earlier. Think Ottilie Louisa Rose Marguerite is gorgeous.

pilates · 27/03/2011 17:15

Louisa Rose Marguerite is the one I prefer.

pranma · 27/03/2011 16:34

Thank you so much. From your comments I have changed Ottoline to Ottilie, its a lot nicer actually!
We have narrowed it down to three:
Ottilie Rose Marguerite
Louisa Rose Marguerite
Florence Rose Marguerite.

I think she looks like an Ottilie, but DH wants Louisa (his beloved Grandmother).
May have to have Ottilie Louisa Rose Marguerite to keep him happy!!

Louisa R M is my favourite. Many congartulations.

brightcopperkettles · 27/03/2011 10:17

I also think that Anita Rose Marguerite sounds lovely!

colditz · 27/03/2011 10:14

Alice.

brightcopperkettles · 27/03/2011 10:14

Louisa R M is my very favourite from your list.

JiltedJohnsJulie · 27/03/2011 09:16

Like Florence R M but just can't get over the Cameron connection, so for me it would have to be Ottoline RM or Ottolie RM.

I teach a student- Ottilie-Marie- are you sue Ottoline is correct? (Have a thing about misspelt names) This girl has Eastern European surname so think its genuine. EVERYONE asks her to repeat, repeat, repeat! Loving any of the others.

randomimposter · 27/03/2011 08:41

Florence R M

Thank you so much, I knew I could rely on MN! DH and I have talked and narrowed it down to:

Florence Rose Marguerite
Imogen Rose Marguerite
Louisa Rose Marguerite
Sophia Rose Marguerite
Ottoline Rose Marguerite (I love! DH not so sure)

Which sounds best?
