Give me your most fabulous three-syllable girl names!

I'd love to name this baby a three-syllable name if a girl (lots of reasons) so suggest your very best ones and I'll add them to my list!

I don't like modern names like Madison - more traditional yet fairly uncommon (Tabitha doesn't even make Top 1200 where I live even though I know it's not like that elsewhere).

My current frontrunners are:

Ursula
Tabitha

Thanks :)

Morwenna.

Was very nearly DD's second name, rejected on the basis it made her initials sound like an advertising agency, but have always slightly regretted not using it.

I love the name Alexandra.

Classy name, lots of lovely nicknames that it can be shortened too!

Oh just a couple more:

Rowena
Melissa

marshmallowpies · 23/01/2012 11:50

Miranda
Ramona
Meredith
Lamorna

are my favourites. Only one of these has found favour with my DP so at the moment it's the only name on our shortlist. He likes Jessica, which I do too, but it's just too popular at the moment.
