Anything like Lettice? (But less saladi-ish)?

I don't like Letitia/Laetitia etc.

DH loves Lettice. He also suggested Annora/Honora.

I really like Angelica but DH hates it.

Maybe Samantha? Antonia? Maybe Philippa? Eugenie? I like them, but I just don't love them...

DD is 4/12...
I'd honestly appreciate every suggestion.

And I also like Bernadette. It sounds very brave and strong.

I really like Rowena, Keziah, Vivienne, Apolline and Oriana. And Serena :)

DH seems to like/be intrigued by the name Serena. It's currently on the maybe list. I think he's at the stage of... "that IS a lovely name. But do I like it enough to actually give it to our LO?"

We (most likely... probably) still have some time, seeing as the due date is the 4/12... and we already found a boy's name (I didn't want to know the gender).

And thanks again for all these suggestions.

Surely Lettuce?

Or is that the "saladish" alternative?

Frankiefarr · 09/11/2016 19:22

How about Romaine could be shortened to Romy

Both lettuce and the name of a great female artist

I actually really like Lettice but wouldn't be brave enough.
