We've just found out we're expecting DD4! Complete surprise, as we weren't trying to conceive, but that's another story! Anyway, now we're completely stuck for names!

We already have an Imogen Charlotte, who's 16, an Eliza Juliet, who's 14, and a Claudia Eloise, who is 11. Ideally, we're looking for a girl's name to go with her sisters' names, but not be too matchy-matchy IYSWIM.

We like timeless, elegant names that aren't likely to date very badly, preferably classic but not too old-fashioned, while still being strong and feminine-sounding.

Any help would be much appreciated as we're completely at a loss!

Thanks 3soontobe4Smile. It just came to me. It's a gorgeous name, not my very favourite, but I can't think of a better name to go with Imogen, Eliza and Claudia. They just flow so well together!Smile

Eliza was on my list but I couldn't use it (complicated)
We have:
Heidi Matilda
Kitty Alice
Lydia Victoria

CremeEgg - ooh! Saskia is gorgeous! I'd forgotten all about it! I knew a Saskia long ago and she very much suited the name! You're right, it does seem to go with the other names! That's definitely a front runner now...

I love Lucy, Madeleine, Genevieve, Ramona and anything Rose-related but unfortunately can't have any of them due to family reasons.

Annabelle, Cecilia and Lara are all lovely, but I'm not sure about Cecilia as I wouldn't like to have two daughters with the same initial. Sigh. Cecily is the perfect nickname, though.

A lot of suggestions for Gabriella... there's something about it that puts me off, but I'm not sure what. Perhaps it's the fact that my teenagers used to watch High School Musical almost every day for what felt like years on end, and when I hear Gabriella I think Vanessa Hudgens...

I quite like Florence, actually! I hadn't really considered it at all. All these suggestions are great! Please keep them coming! I'm currently in the process of thinking out loud and trying to form some sort of a shortlist. So far I'm loving Lara and Annabelle and a few of the others!

Peggy
