Overdue & no girls names!!

We are really struggling with girls names.

Liked Isla, ria (but opted out due to possible bullying as it rhymes with diarrhoea!)
I've been checking on here for weeks & feel like I've seen every name before. Like Faye but husband doesn't (prob wouldn't go with surname)

We want something slightly different as so many nice names out there but lots are so common.
Don't want anything too "out there" either!
Ps seem to like short names (surname is short so maybe need an "a" or an "e" on end of first name)

Lovely names

I think I would veer away from another "a" for number 3

Leila, Cara and Eve?
Leila, Cara and Josie?
Leila, Cara and Caitlin
Leila, Cara and Meg
Leila, Cara and Grace

Bit of a random selection but i do feel your pain. Found my DD2 hard enough, let alone a 3rd. I would have probably gone for something a bit mad like Xanthe or Scout.

Sorry for delay busy nesting today.

Leila & Cara.

Can you tell us what your other DCs are called - or what their names are similar to? This would give us a better idea of what kind of names you like or what would sounds nice with your other dc.

Cara, Lara, Tara, Zara?

Tamsin, Tansy, Mabel, Sadie, Sybil?

Oops, sorry - read too fast. Can see it's Ria that rhymes, not Isla. But I've known a few Rias and none suffered from that particular line of name calling! Maybe Rhian or Rhiannon instead?

peppinagiro · 03/06/2014 20:53

I really don't get how Isla rhymes with diarrhoea??

Isla - eye-la
Diarrhoea - die-ah-ree-ah

Doesn't even remotely rhyme!
