Really struggling to find something that isn't really popular - any ideas? Love names like Isabella, arabella, hermione, Camilla, Annabel etc. Thanks!

One of my dd's friends is Eliza Primrose, which I love. I have to say that she has always hated it, and decided at the age of 5 that she was Liz, and still at 20 refuses to answer to anything else......Grin

Dungandbother · 04/12/2015 23:36

I know you want long but Eliza is still three syllables so similar to many of the suggestions in terms of sound.

Remember she has to write it when she's young and spell it endlessly when giving out her email when older.

Theodora, Octavia, Allegra, Madalena.
