Baby due any day (yesterday to be precise!) and we're having a slight wobble over a middle name to go with Claudia. We'd settled on Ingrid, but now not sure whether it scans quite right. DH's favourite is Lydia but that doesn't work with Claudia. Our surname is a very common, two syllable English name beginning with T.

What else might we like to go with Claudia?

Surname does indeed end with an N

Elodie was actually our choice to go with Claudia when DS was born - Claudia was then second choice for a girl but has come to the fore and Beatrice is now common as muck

But dh says it might be too pretty. Sigh. He loves to present a problem and leave me to come up with a solution. Not a fan of very girly names like Rose etc. Seems important somehow to have strong names for a girl.

Before a load of people come on to suggest Rose, Grace and May...

I'm guessing your surname ends in an N.

How about something like Elodie? Annabel/le, Isabelle, Marguerite?

I'm thinking three syllables, but ending with a consonant sound, or an ie/y. Not ending with an A, as it would be too repetitive after Claudia.

Love Claudia, by the way.
