Stephanie?

Sounds a bit like Persephone but without conotations of the undead.

You like Sephy as a nickname for Josephine, so Stephy as a nn?

martha i like but i feel its too popular

theodora i like but think it feels maybe too clunky and we have a tudor . also considered dorothea but again feels quite clunky.

clemency and clementine i have mentioned to dh . he might be open to persuasion . although i prefer clemency .

although i like alot of these names none of them feel like they are one like alot but don't seem to love any of them which is the problem.

seraphina we considered but maybe too unusual and may date quickly as it seems to have become more popular since ben affleck used it for his daughter .

gwendolyn i like but dh has a previous girlfriend called gwen and while it doesn't bother me . it bothers dh .

clarice again i love and i'm trying to persuade dh of it's merits . i prefer it to clarissa .

Clarice?

oldbutnotpastit · 16/05/2014 22:17

love persephone but really dislike its meaning

esther and hester are beautiful but don't work with our surname

mariella but went to school with one who was an awful bully and made my life hell , so would be reluctant to use it

clara is nice but maybe becoming to popular . we have considered clarissa but dh thinks it is too hissy
anastasia i used to like but shades of grey has ruined it for me
matilda i like but dh feels it's too masculine
vera is lovely i'm adding that to the list along with henrietta
is christabel to similar to arabella ? as we've ignored christabel and mirabel because we already have an arabella
