They are all nice as are your current names.
My opinion:
Annabel is lovely & still rare round here
Gabriella is fab but with an Olivia & Francesca already maybe doesn't work so well. Gabrielle?
Charlotte seems super popular at the moment. I know of 2 born in the last 6 weeks.

MaryChalloner · 08/12/2016 20:34

Go for Cecilia/Cecily (it means six).

Out of the list I like Isabella the best. Although It's quite common I know.

buttercup54321 · 08/12/2016 20:32

Charlotte or Katherine

MissMarplesHat · 08/12/2016 20:28

Annabelle or Charlotte and congratulations on dd 7 Xmas Smile

PunkAssMoFo · 08/12/2016 20:20

Annabelle.

I really dislike Matilda and there are tons of them at the moment!

Frazzled2207 · 08/12/2016 20:20

What lovely names.
6 girls Shock. I say Penelope because I wanted one and had boys!

Floralnomad · 08/12/2016 20:16

I like Charlotte and Gabriella , but can I throw in Vivienne as it goes well with your other dds names , which are all lovely . Jasmine is particularly underused and much nicer than Yasmin .

Deadsouls · 08/12/2016 20:15

Matilda
Matilde
Tilda

MissJSays · 08/12/2016 20:15

I love Charlotte, that's on the top of my list, 'Lottie' for short.

We have a Penelope and a Matilda at nursery which are both shortened to 'Penny' and 'Tilly' so depends on whether you would be happy living with these nn's later on in their lives. Annabelle is really cute, as is Gabriella.

Isabella and Katherine aren't my faves... however I do like 'Isabelle'

MrsGsnow18 · 08/12/2016 20:14

Katherine.
I think it's lovely with your other names and as another poster said a lot of the other names bave less desirable/more common shortenings.

Sophronia · 08/12/2016 20:12

Katherine is lovely

Mumoftwoyoungkids · 08/12/2016 20:08

Katherine with Kate / Katie for short.

My dd's name

Charlotte, Gabriella and Isabella are all lovely too.

youarenotkiddingme · 08/12/2016 20:07

Actually Charlotte fits best imo!

Jasmine/Emmeline
Francesca/Olivia
Harriet/Charlotte

youarenotkiddingme · 08/12/2016 20:04

Lovely names your girls have and a great choice for the next one!

Personally I love Charlotte and Matilda.

Annabelle and Matilda and Penelope are doing a come back ATM where I love. Katherine is beautiful. I have a cousin in her 20's with this name. (And she's a lovely girl!)

The only thing I think is that Emmeline and Annabelle/Katherine all sound fairly familiar whereas so far you have an amazing set of names, all classic and beautiful but all sounding different iyswim?

And as an anecdote I know a a family that has a Katherine/Annabelle and one who has aHarriet/Peneolpe!

Jooni · 08/12/2016 19:57

Matilda. Congratulations, wow!

Ijustworkhere · 08/12/2016 19:15

I would say Charlotte goes best with your other children's names. You already have two that end in an 'a' sound so more would be quite matchy. Katherine is a beautiful name but may feel a little plain in the context of the other names. Your daughters have lovely names!

Watto1 · 08/12/2016 19:07

Katherine is lovely but there are a million different spellings. I like Penelope and Gabriella best on your list. Do you like all the possible shortenings of the names? Her name is bound to be shortened whether you like it or not. DSis is called Deborah. She can't bear being called Debbie but it happens all the time.

Allalonenow · 08/12/2016 19:06

Gabriella, lovely name and fits well with the other names.

Annabelle and Isobelle are just too popular ATM.
Matilda, quite like it, but has had a sudden spike in popularity, she could be Matilda3 in her class.
Katherine Penelope and Charlotte, just a bit ordinary compared to the other family names.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 08/12/2016 19:04

Is this your 7th baby. Wow. Youve been a busy Lady. Xmas Grin

Loyly · 08/12/2016 19:02

Gabriella

LocalEditorMerton · 08/12/2016 19:01

I would say Katherine (and what lovely names your other DDs have!).

septembersunshine · 08/12/2016 18:55

Annabel (nick name Annie). Just love It! We had a boy (out 4th dc and he was going to be called this!)...it was Annabel Elizabeth...(heart!!!) X

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 08/12/2016 18:50

Katherine. There's not many baby Katherine's about now.

Ham69 · 08/12/2016 18:32

What beautiful names. My vote is for Annabelle.
