Dd2 is due in 3 weeks and we cannot find a name for her! Dd1 is Alice. This was always going to be her name and I love it. I like the following but find niggling little problems with each of them. Opinions or suggestions of other names gratefully received. Need first and middle name.

Anna ( will Frozen make it really popular?
Hannah (DH doesn't like it)
Olivia (too popular?)
Emma ( is it a bit blah?)
Eilidh ( too hard to spell?)
Annabel ( I prefer Anna but DH prefers this)
Elizabeth ( what nickname? Libby? Beth? Eliza?)
Matilda ( a bit "of the moment"?)
Orla (sounds a bit harsh?)
Anya ( same as Orla?)

I've always loved Emma. It's not used as much as it used to be. Was a serious contender for dd.

I have a Pippa and love it. Surprisingly uncommon for how familiar it is (we've not met a single one her age).

Ooh Think I like Pippa and LOve Kate but that is my sister's name.

Emily is less popular than Emma but has a similar feel

Loads of Olivias, Hannahs, but all of yr names are pretty

I like Orla and Matilda best, they were two on our list of potential names for DD (whose middle name is Alice!)

I also had Olive (rather than Olivia) with the plan of using Liv as a nn.

The rest of our list incase anything catches your eye
Kate
Meg
Pippa
Phoebe
Juliet
Una
Mia
