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

Any suggestions welcome!

My first thought was Olivia

ihatehousework2 · 19/05/2014 15:06

Actually , all the suggestions saying no 'a' on the end of the name are good ideas too. It's funny, we always seem to want names to go together, yet children are never really together once they've flown the flock.
Is there something in this...a British phenomenon?

IsabellaRockerfeller · 19/05/2014 14:52

I like Isabella, Francesca and.....

Genevieve
Charlotte
Madeleine
Elise
Violet
Amelie
Eleanor
Lucy
Rosalind
Annabel

I think you should pick something that doesn't end in -a to avoid it being too "matchy" with your other names.

Pinkje · 19/05/2014 14:49

OP, what do you call your girls? Are they Issy and Frankie or do you use their full names. That'd have a bearing on your next daughter's name.

Verity
Rosamund

Apparently I like 'posh old lady' names. Thanks DH Hmm.

Oh bike I do like your idea of Alicia, perhaps I gave been a bit too into "grand hotel"

BikeRunSki · 19/05/2014 14:31

Gabrielle/a sprang to mind immediately
Sophie/a
Eloise/a
Alice/Alicia
Suzanna

Octavia

Miranda

Saskia

Valentina

Natalia

manicinsomniac · 19/05/2014 11:55

Gorgeous names, both have been on my shortlists so maybe we have similar tastes.

My daughters are called Savannah, Jessica and Xanthe.

I also considered (apart from Francesca and Isabella!):
Alexandra, Abigail, Arabella, Annabelle, Amy, Alexis, Charlotte, Cassidy, Cassandra, Eden, Felicity, Gabriella, Georgina, Hannah, Imogen, Joanna, Juliette, Miranda, Matilda, Madeleine, Natasha, Natalie, Ophelia, Octavia, Philippa, Rebecca, Rhiannon, Sophia, Vanessa, Zara.

Quejica · 19/05/2014 11:53

Olivia

PestoSunnyissimos · 19/05/2014 11:52

Leonora

Mrsindecision · 19/05/2014 11:50

Charlotte
Sophia
Emilia
Alexandra
Georgina

I would avoid another name ending in "ella" as sounds a bit samey.

florascotia · 19/05/2014 11:37

Vanessa
Clarissa
Venetia
Dorothea
Rosamund/Rosalind
Arabella
Anastasia

TheScience · 19/05/2014 11:25

I immediately thought Gabriella too, or Alexandra/Alessandra/Alessia.

DramaAlpaca · 19/05/2014 11:23

Gabriella was the name that came into my head immediately, too, but it's maybe a bit similar to Isabella.

Any of the above suggestions would be lovely.

Beatrice or Victoria are my suggestions.
