my kids have unusual first names and followed by 2 middle names. my daughter's middle names are Jean after my nan and Honey (no idea where from it just goes well)

dd2 due in 8 weeks is going to hopefully be Dottie and then have Sylvia as a middle name after dh's mum but between her first name and that I want an off the wall ish name.

so far i have come up with:

Dottie Blossom Sylvia
Dottie Lilac Sylvia
Dottie Velvet Sylvia

i know they are not to everyone's taste so i'm not looking for slating - just ideas for any other combinations or preferences to what sounds right??

thanks in advance

Boo

I think that toddlers and tiras Honey Boo Boo may take the shine off that particular choice for a while to come.

Dottie Sunshine Sylvia. I like Velvet too - makes me think of Liz Taylor

I like the combo with Blossom, very pretty.

How about; Boheme, Starlight, Plum, Queenie, Mirabel, Pearl, Emerald, Dune, Mauve, Faun, Tuesday, Wednesday, Lark, Wren, Peach, Teal, Meadow, Kitten?

I like Dottie Lilac best from your choices.

Other off the wall-ish choices:
Dottie Arwen
Dottie Star
Dottie Rainbow
Dottie Willow
Dottie Misty
Dottie Eden
Dottie Effie
Dottie Zillah
Dottie Yvette
Dottie Elina
Dottie Romily
Dottie Katinka
Dottie Tarryn

Dottie Velvet does sound like something from Johnny Boden's latest offering, I'm afraid.

I think a 1 syllable name would sound best but tricky to think of. How about:

Boo
Belle

Quite like Blossom

I am leaning towards Lilac. But also like Blossom. Not so keen on Velvet cos when I touch it I get the heebie geebies.

LOVE Dottie.

Just love it.
