Name for potential DD3?

27 replies

HandragsNGladbags · 30/01/2014 20:58

We have 2 DD's, Amelia and Claudia. I didn't notice they both ended with -ia until I was about 6 weeks post partum!

We need another name but many of the ones we agree on have already been taken by friends and family for example

Hannah
Rebecca
Sadie

I like Philippa (Pippa), Josephine (Josie), Phoebe, Verity and Madeleine

DH likes Eleanor. That's it.

We don't want something that ends -ia as it will sound matchy I think? But I am running out of ideas for DH who keeps saying we have ages.

We do, I'm only 27 weeks, but he does seem rather relaxed Smile

Any ideas on names I haven't thought of?

Exactly - I'm sure she will have chosen them rather than him....
I have a Claudia, which is why I registered it, I hope.
How about Lara, Nina, Sylvie, Juliet, Romilly? Those are all on my list for imaginary dd2.

Shock Slave really? At least his wife had good taste in names if not men.

Not keen on Harmony Moment but thank you

Rally yes Rachel is on the list!

Harmony?

Slavetominidictator · 01/02/2014 20:15

Hearing those two names together reminded me of hearing them together before....... Afraid it was Grant Bovey's daughters - the third one is called Lily. Any good? All lovely names though. Good luck.

Rebekah - ie a twist on a classic

I love Eleanor. Strong and elegant - you don't have to shorten it to Ellie.

Of your other names I like Verity best.

Pippa is OK but I had a childhood friend who's rabbit was called Pippa and I can't disassociate the name from that funny twitchy-nose way that rabbits breathe...but obviously that's just me!

Phoebe is OK as is Josie but Jospehine and Madeline are too longwinded and frilly imo.

Ursula, Thea, Anita, Lucy, Libby, Eliza, Esmé, Imogen, Erin, Lillian, Elsa???

That's interesting about Cecelia, DH is a muso.

Really like Rachel, Violet, Leonora. We know a Matilada and a Martha so couldn't use them.

ToffeeJungle you have managed to list virtually every name me and DH have discussed for the last two DC. Were you there?! Grin

I'm not religious, btw, I just happen to know.

Cecilia? She's the patron saint of musicians. Works well with your other DDs' names :)

DH doesn't like Meredith (which I love).

I had forgotten I had Catherine on my list too thank you!

What about Cecily?

I like Madeline best of those ones but do understand the association. How about Gabriella, Heidi, Orla, Anya, Catherine, Sophie or Natasha?
