(Updated) Girls Shortlist: Pick Two

"Diana I think is too strongly associated with princess Di"

Nobody under 20 remembers her, and most of them won't even know who she was. People didn't name their daughters after her either, there was no spike in the popularity of the name. There are other notable Dianas out there, Diana Ross for instance, and Diana Rigg who is still being marvellous.

How about Fenella?

I think Noemi would face a lifetime of spelling mistakes.
I'm not too keen on Nella, what about Nesta instead?
Lucie is pretty, though I prefer Lucy, have you thought of Dulcie? Similar in style but a bit more unusual.
Zara is too close to Ezra.
Like others I prefer Celeste to Celestine.
Diana is fine, but she will be called Di.
I like Clementine best!

I have a Celeste so biased there!

Penelope nickname Nell? Or Helena nm Nell?

Nella makes me think of salmonella (sorry!)

Clementine & lucie are good strong names but just not to my personal taste, Diana I think is too strongly associated with princess Di.

Diana by far from the ones you have listed. Classic not over used name Everyone will know it but few will know one. Perfect name type imo

I don't understand this trend for "Clementine" at the moment. Why would you name your child after a fruit??

I think Lucie as in french spelling is sufficiently common in the UK not to seem weird. However, Noemi not so much.

Diana is very glamorous and does not date. It's never been in or out of fashion, a classic name.

I don't like Nell and its variations.

Clementine is too fussy for me and seems to be having a "moment", so will date.

I like the timeless Lucy, but not with the -ie ending please, it looks twee unless you're in a francophone country.

Isn't Celestine a man's name?
Noemi will be mistaken for Naomi, again unless you're in a francophone country.

Zara is quite cool.

Honestly I think Zara sounds the best with your other dc's (Ezra is gorgeous btw) I like Lucie too

Thank you Nooka! That's what it was. It's been a while since I read Babar stories. I know I have never encountered a Celeste anywhere else besides books of some kind.

I like Nella. And Della. How about Zoe?

Clementine and Zara are gorgeous strong names, though Zara is a bit similar to Ezra. Lucie is pretty too.

You are thinking about Babar and Celeste mathanxiety

babar.wikia.com/wiki/Celeste

Nella sounds nicknamey and a bit insipid beside your boys' names.
Would you consider Mella instead? It's a real name.
I really like PP's suggestion of Cornelia and Petronella, with Nell or Nella as a nn..

I like Clementine and Noemi, but unless you are French I would use Naomi.
Lucy is nice imo. Lucie is nice too, but a Lucie would have to correct the spelling of her name a lot.

Celeste reminds me of elephants for some reason. Is there a children's book with an elephant named Celeste I wonder...
I like Seraphine and Seraphina.

Diana -- depends on the surname imo. Would Dionne be an alternative?

Nella
Clementine
Celestine
they are all lovely! :)

Don't know what happened to word spacing there. Sorry.

FWIW Noemi is the French/Italian version of Naomi. French version hasan acuteaccent on the 'e'.

Naomi (spelt this way) and Zara.
None of your shortlist, sorry.

I'm not mad about any of them tbh, especially not with your boys' names (which are lovely).

If you want another -a name, maybe Mara instead of Zara?

Also love Helena nn Nell as a pp suggested.

I like Nella but I feel it doesn't fit well the best Ezra and Sasha. What about a name where Nell/a/ie would work as a nickname? Perenelle maybe?
Zara I think will be too much like the store.
To break the chain I actually like Celestine a lot more than Celeste.
Lucie is adorable and I think it fits in well.
Clementine is nice too though not my favorite.
Not a big fan of Noemi but in consideration I also don't like Naomi or Niomi.
Diana is cute, maybe with the nickname Annie (Di is dreadful imo)
I like Lucie and Nella (in any form) best

I think that Nella is fabulous.

Only one I have heard of is Nella Last who wrote diaries in WW2 (Housewife, 49)

Think she may have been a Nellie.

Prefer Lucia to Lucie.

Nell as oppose to Nella

Noemi looks like a mispelling but I can't work out where the letters should be. Not sure which name this is supposed to be.

Agree with pp re Celeste

Diana is a wonderfully classic name but not sure it works best with your boys names.

I think Nell, Celeste or Zara from your (slightly ammended) list

Diana sounds really old fashioned and not in a good way

I like Zara and lucie from your list

I prefer Lucy to Lucie. I have a lovely friend called Lucille so I like that too :)

Prefer Celeste to Celestine, and quite like Diana (although I think I'd avoid another 'a' name). Zara is cool, but too like Ezra.

How do you pronounce Noemi (my mind thinks No-mi)?

I like Diana and I think but could sound incredibly glamorous with a one syllable surname.

Zara is also really nice.

Nella is a name, I have heard it before. I think it's used mostly in the Netherlands, or maybe Germany? Lots of names that people seem to love in the UK are from continental Europe, so why not? Just because you've not heard of it doesn't make it 'wrong' FGS. It's quite nice.

And Lucie is the recognised French spelling of Lucy but has also been used over here for ages. In one of Beatrix Potter's books (Mrs Tiggywinkle?) there is a little girl called Lucie.

I think my favourites are Lucie and Clementine. For some reason I have never liked Diana that much, although it is obviously classic.
