I've been over this a 100 times and i can't figure it out. I also keep changing my mind which isn't helping Blush

We love DD's name as it's strong yet feminine whist being a bit different and not hugely popular. Not as easy second time around!!!

Grateful if you could help me pick a first and middle name. Smile too go with DD - Honor

Katherine aka Kit
Iona (IMO sounds too much like DD's name, mn?)
Charlotte (popular, but i do like it)
Davina
India
Claudia
Beatrice aka Bibi
Alice
Rose
Marina
Darcey (can't get past 'arse' in the middle)
Violet
Cosima
Serena

Claudia but aren't there two ways of saying it - which one would you go for?

moaninlisa · 16/10/2011 19:03

Violet Iona- beautiful

LeoTheLateBloomer · 16/10/2011 19:01

Claudia Rose. The syllables (sp?) work well together.

Kayzr · 16/10/2011 18:56

Violet and India are my favourite from your list.

happyhorse · 16/10/2011 18:55

Beatrice Serena

Methe · 16/10/2011 18:39

Claudia!

BikeRunSki · 16/10/2011 18:38

I hate when people sugguest totally different other names on these threads, but what about Hope? I am afraid I don't really like any of your sugguestions. Maybe Alice (biased).

Honor and Hope.

Match, but different, unless you don't want the same initials.

Willabywallaby · 16/10/2011 18:36

Serena Catherine

MrsJohnDeere · 16/10/2011 18:35

Claudia or Beatrice

Psammead · 16/10/2011 18:30

I like Beatrice.

How about Ursula? I always think of it as a nice, strong, feminine name,

ImpYCelyn · 16/10/2011 16:46

Claudia
Beatrice
Marina
Serena

Are all lovely. None of the others go well with Honor imo.

Jawbreaker · 16/10/2011 16:36

Katherine, Beatrice and Rose are my favourites. Alice is also nice.
