I've posted a couple of times on here but we are really struggling now and shes due in less than 5 weeks.
My dds are Jessica, Lily and Ava

I am drawn to girly but not frilly names. We like all of these but none make us think yesss

Elizabeth nn Eliza (but surname Bennett. Too Jane Austin?)
Anna - a bit meh and too many n's maybe

The above have been the front runners all the way through. Others we have thought about...
Scarlett - too many ts with surname
Francesca (I like Frankie)
Juliet (this was a front runner for a few weeks until I decided she might end up being Julie or ju neither of which I love)
Emmeline (Emmy) - dh not keen
Urmmmmmmmm there have been others.....

Anyway, any suggestions or names that you think might fit the bill.

At this rate she will end up being Anna or Elizabeth which i know are lovely names and I really like them but like I say, I'm not in love with either of them like I was with my other dcs names.

I think Julia works better with Bennett than Juliet.
Lovely name and not much used at the moment.
There are zillions of izzies around - I'd avoid personally

Have you thought about Georgia? Georgia Bennett sounds good. Or Amelia nn Mimi?

Mimi Bennett is sweet

I think you have done really so far with the first three names of your DDs all being very different. My sisters are called Susan and Sarah and have spent their whole lives being mistaken for each other and getting mail addressed to Ms S surname. So avoid Anna or any other A names and think about
Susannah
Philippa
Rosemary
Eleanor
Maria
Sylvia

I think three syllables frames her nicely with Jessica.

Some lovely suggestions.

BUT I would say do not go for Lydia Bennett - she was the stupid flighty sister in P&P who ran off with Wickham and was "ruined". Awful character.

Perpetuallypregnant · 04/04/2011 01:00

I think I really love Isabella. I tend to shorten names and I like izzy.

Is it too heavy on the bs with my surname? Isobel sounds better but for some reason I'm not as keen on that.

Also came up with daisy today but dh says it sounds like a cow Angry as if its got anything to do with him anyway :)

I think Esme goes really well (know it has been mentioned already) - I really liked this name for a dd but it was vetoed!

Yamba · 03/04/2011 21:27

Frankie (Francesca) is a great name! Really love it.

Not to rein on anyones like for the name Marissa, but while looking up names a while ago I came across it and it means Sea of Bitterness... for some reason, it stuck with me. Grin

Anyhow, some names DH and I are tossing around for a girl:
Poppy
Pipa
Olivia
Sofia
Evangeline
Arianna
