Only about 20 minutes' pregnant well 10 weeks so I am jumping the gun a little, but I've been thinking of names for DC2.

I think Lily fits well with Evelyn, although I don't actually like the name Evelyn.. I just think it has the right properties, so I'm looking for something similar.

Basically, I want something that has a strong first syllable and probably 3 syllables in total. Also vowels are good.

Surname is double barrelled and 19 letters long (sorry, kids!) with loads of Rs and Fs.

Or Evangeline, which is similar to Evelyn?

Lily Amandine? We are reading The Twelve Dancing Princesses at the moment and Amandine is one of the princess's names. I think it is of French origin.

OP did ask for names with three syllables, so why are people even trotting out the usual monosyllabic suspects? If you can't be arsed to read the opening post, don't post at all.

Please not Rose or May/Mae. It is so dull and done to death.

You took the words out of my mouth.

I agree with OurGlass, anything but Rose or Mae. There are so many Lily Roses and Lily Maes.

I think longer names like Lily Alexandra and Lily Rosalind sound much more distinctive.

Ourglass what's your suggestion then? Or did you just jump on the thread to slam other people's suggestions without giving any of your own?

That's exactly what I did yes. However now you've mentioned it Lily Annabell or Lily Aurora sounds nice.
