Totally stuck on a name for our 3rd daughter, due very soon.

Any suggestions welcome!

I have an Isabella and have just dug out my list of names:
Francesca (we must have similar taste!)
Sienna
Serena
Valentina
Aurelia
Georgiana
Lilia
Isla
Imogen
I was very undecided but knew as soon as she was born she was an Isabella it just suited her Smile

Love your girls' names. How about:

Emilia
Olivia
Imogen (unless you don't want two daughters with the same initial)
Rosa/Rosina/Roselle/Rosamund
Serena
Juliet
Monica
Annika/Annette

Please report back and tell us what you choose!

If i used Claudia I think I would push for the nn Dia. I think Claude is the most obvious nickname unfortunately.

I love Claudia but no shortenings I'm happy with.

Lucia (loo CHEE a ) Lucy, Lu,... sounds a wonderful combo to me .

Must*

Pebbles0934 · 23/05/2014 18:39

I think Matilda goes well?

I know an Isabella whose sister is Polly.
The Francesca's I know, their sisters are Rebecca, Anna and Sophia?

Some great name suggestions from others though! You just find something from them!

Love your dcs names. I would go with claudia but then your dcs names are two of my favourites along with Aurelia. They all have a similar feeling.

My DD19 is Francesca-also known as Chessie or ches! If I'd had a second daughter I liked Felicity (chessie & fliss went nicely I thought!).

Phillippa / Pip

Charlotte /Lottie

Matilda / Tilda

ScrambledSmegs · 19/05/2014 16:55

Ah, nice, I like Chessie.

One of my reasons behind Araminta was you could shorten it to Minty. I thought that was cute. DH disagreed Sad.

I think most of the names suggested can be shortened. Maybe write down your favourites listed and see what their nn would be?

They're shortened to Bella and Chessie and we use their nns quite a lot. This is so hard!
