Arabella.
Dd1's name is Arabella and we've just found out we're expecting dd2. We absolutely love dd1's name and can't imagine finding another we like quite as much. Very keen for suggestions of what might work. Thank you!

I agree, you need an equivalent and Arabella to me is beautiful, yet strong...

Thank you nutella! Smile
No, we don't shorten dd1's name. Yes, trying to find an "equivalent" name is going to be a tough task. Not necessarily looking for another name that ends in an 'a', just one that we both love!

Congratulations on DD #2! :)

Hmmm, that's tough - I agree it's a beautiful name. I guess it would have to be a similarly long name, probably with a min. Of three syllables unless you ever shorten DD1s name? Do you also prefer names ending in an 'a'?
