Hello, we are struggling with names for dc2. She'll be a sister to Oliver - we had no idea how popular that would be so wanted something a bit more unusual but still very traditional and classical. Middle name is mcgregor and surname is 3 syllables beginning with h.

Name we like most at the moment is Emma but it seems a bit simple.

Names I like but can't use:
Maud
Helen
Amy
Octavia

Names dh likes but we can't use:
Elizabeth
Sarah
Victoria

We both liked Isabel bu have been put off due to it's popularity.

Any other suggestions gratefully received!!

Olivia is also really popular so that may annoy you.

Beatrice
Florence

Anna, Audrey and Vera don't grab me.

Love love love Olivia but I couldn't have an Oliver and an Olivia could I!?

Katherine could be a contender. We'd have to shorten to Katie for everyday use - it seems a bit plain too, like Emma. We like queenly names though!

Thanks for the suggestions.

Anna? It is somehow stronger and less simple than Emma, and I think more beautiful.
