Athenais (with umlaut) nn Anais.

Not brave or French enough to use it though.

LineRunner · 12/01/2013 17:51

Loralei, for some reason.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 12/01/2013 17:51

Ariadne is gorgeous.
Love Isobel.
Love Alice.
I think Naomi is beautiful - it sounds lovely and just seems to look really neat on the page too.
Love Marianne and Elinor.
Meredith
Melissa
Joy
Maeve

I am looking through these and hunting for inspiration.

I have a Florence Amelie and a Gabriella Eve already - both names I think are fabulously pretty. I even like the way they look when typed Blush

But what to call DC3? Have you had any thoughts on all the suggestions, OP?

GetOrf · 12/01/2013 17:45

Call her Sophie, I meant to type.

GetOrf · 12/01/2013 17:45

Sophia is a beautiful name (I have a daughter called sophia as well babyblabber).

The amount of bloody people who call her sophia, though (completely different dull sounding name imo)

babyblabber · 12/01/2013 17:13

Sophia. Have loved it all my life and now I have her!

Also love:
Rosa
Lola
Isabella (but hate izzie)

And my latest love is Amaya

MadameCastafiore · 12/01/2013 16:57

I love the name Florence, love flossy or florrie as a nn. Gabriella is also very pretty.

JustAFewRory · 12/01/2013 16:51

Seraphina

mumtobex · 12/01/2013 16:42

Decided if mine is a girl I want to call her Katie summer :-) my other half wants a boy and has settled on the name Damian lol

HalleLouja · 12/01/2013 16:30

Eleni
Irini
Zoe
Sophia

TwoOfThree · 12/01/2013 16:25

Also love Anais, Astrid Violet at Phoebe!

TwoOfThree · 12/01/2013 16:24

At the moment I really like Nova.
It means new, or in astrological terms its a star that suddenly burns brighter. And in American Indian it means 'Chases Buttrflies'
Not sure if OH will be keen but I love it!

Sabih · 12/01/2013 16:05

Silvery thankyou. It's the maltese version of Katherine (dh is maltese) although the actual name is spelt Catienn but we preferred our spelling. Same pronunciation though.

Trousersrolled · 12/01/2013 16:05

Rosalie
Soleil (French for sun, pronounced So-LAY)

Didn't get to use either, as had a ds!

onthemetro · 12/01/2013 16:00

I love Ava and Aurora. Planning to use them both on a future DD Smile

MerylStrop · 12/01/2013 15:59

I love Ariadne

I once met a little girl called Elvira, and whilst in normally circs you might think Addams family, she was just the fabulous vibrant little person and in that moment it seemed like the most beautiful name ever.

DD is the more prosaic but user-friendly Nina, which is more pretty than beautiful, I think

Jasbro · 12/01/2013 15:55

Reading through this thread shows how very subjective names are - and why you really can't give two hoots what other people think!

Darmont · 12/01/2013 15:50

Amielle ( ami elle). A girl in dd's class. Thought it was Amelie to start with but realised I'd read it wrong. Love Amelie but amielle even sweeter!

GeorgianMumto5 · 12/01/2013 15:47

Lauréline
Ophelia
Adeline
Adelaide
Violet
Angel
Myfanwy
Serafina
Emilia

ByTheWay1 · 12/01/2013 15:41

I like Briony , Jemima and Tansy - pretty names...

Abzs · 12/01/2013 15:40

I know an Anissa. Very pretty, and suits her parents' need for it to work in six different languages.

HellsBellsHoratio · 12/01/2013 15:39

Eppie is my favourite.

SilveryMoon · 12/01/2013 15:34

Sabih Katienne is beautiful! I can't stop saying it. feels lovely.

My favourite girls names are
Gretchen
Addison
Evangeline (like I said in my last post)

But, if we were ever to have a girl, it'd be Bethany or Rachel to match ds's biblical names. I suppose I could use Evangeline though. Would love to, although my fav girls name ever is Gretchen, but you asked for beautiful and Gretchen is not a beautiful name

Mosman · 12/01/2013 15:32

I love Annaleise and Francesca DH said no
I think my next imaginary child would be a Gabriella
