Beautiful girl names - inspire me!

Hi ladies,

We've decided to go with Zoe for DD2's first name and our surname is also short - begins with G, think Hugh, Cary...

This means we can choose a no-holds-barred, dazzlingly beautiful middle name with hundreds of syllables if needed.

Give me the names you always ached to give your daughter but were worried would be too flowery.

If you are thinking of middle name after David - how about Vida instead of Davina? Also a variant of David, we were going to use it as a middle name if we had had a DD.

Zoe Astrid
Zoe Rosamund
Zoe Camilla
Zoe Estelle
Zoe Leonora

I think the style you have in mind for a name like Berengaria may be Gothic? (not Goth with all the black gear but medieval).

At the moment, my favorites are Zoe Davina and Zoe Joyce. Davina would be after my DF, David, who was very much not a Davina type of man, and Joyce would be after my recently deceased gran - healthy family we have :) However, DH isn't keen on either, but all the other names suggested, however beautiful, just don't really resonate with any particular significance. Sigh. I have until September to win him over or find something else.

I know a Zoe April. I know it's short and not flowery - at all - but I thought it was such a fantastic combo. And April's around the corner. Grin
