Only 5 weeks with DC3 but I want to think about names already. I have 2 boys, we have a boys name picked out but got a huge list of girls names.

If it is a girl her middle name will be Jean. Its my middle name, my mums, my nans etc etc so I would like to continue it. Surname is McCall(please no Davina suggestions [hgrin])

So here is the list.

Annabella/Anabella
Arabella
Amelie
Amber
Aurora
Beatrice
Cecilia
Daisy
Evelyn
Elsie
Felicity
Florence (Great nans name)
Hazel
Isabella(going off this now)
Lucille
Meredith
Noelle
Penelope
Rosalie
Serena
Serenity
Sierra
Sofia/Sophia
Vivienna
Viviana

See its a huge list, DP's favourite is Arabella and I am not really sure which is my favourite. I don't want something hugely popular which is why I have gone off Isabella as I know 3 that have been born in the last month.

Help please!!

Fixture, Vivienna was meant to be Vivienne. Didn't notice the typo until just then.

Lots of lovely names there :)

Top 6 would be Aurora, Amber, Cecilia, Daisy, Florence, Sophia :) These would all go nicely with Jean as middle name.

Also like Annabella (though I prefer Annabel), Arabella, Beatrice, Evelyn (though Evie names v. popular), Elsie, Felicity, Isabella (again v. popular), Penelope, Rosalie and Serena.

And the others...

Amelie - a bit faddy, prefer Amelia
Hazel - don't like
Lucille - prefer Lucy
Meredith - OK
Noelle - too male as Noel more popular than Noelle
Serenity - Serena nicer and less obviously virtuous
Sierra - a type of Ford car
Vivienna - a bit harsh, and why not just Vivienne?
Viviana - as above

I like Florence, Hazel or Penelope best of your suggestions.

I love Florence but DP not as keen.
