That girl from the Cosby Show was called 'Raven' wasn't she? Kind of like the idea of that.

PastGrace · 23/01/2012 22:38

Can I have Olive? I know it's not a fruit... Otherwise Clementine.
Violet (although if I had the guts it would be Lisianthus - Lissy)
Pomarine or Siskin

DH has suggested 'tit' for the bird. He is very unhelpful.

Fwiw I knew a Juniper who legally changed her name to June. She was quite arty and pixie-like, I thought her name suited her but she obviously didn't think so

Ample · 23/01/2012 22:29

Clementine comes to mind first.
Melissa ( its a Greek herb/flower) or lily
Robyn is the only sensible one I can think of.

Do you have to have a theme? Do you not think your dd2 might appreciate a unique name for her, rather than one that just " matches" her sister. I have a friend who is the 3 rd of 3 girls whose names all start with the same letter and she HATED that. She used her middle name from aged 8 onwards, still does. Just saying as food for thought.
