We're having a baby girl!

I have always wanted Lydia but all this ''Lydia Chlamydia" has put me right off.

Love Diana but have been put off recently but the nn Di.

I love Otillie... Dislike Lottie and Tilly so won't be using it.

Like Helen, it's my mum's name, but have been put off by countless novels representing every Helen as a push over/the naive one. Dislike Helena.

Like Athena... Only name DP really agrees on that I'll have.

Like Odette, DH says no way.

Love Posey but understand it is very flowery and unsuitable for a woman.

DH adores Alice but it reminds me of "a lice"

Any suggestions? I like unusual names but nothing tacky/cheap!

Thank you, you lovely lot Grin

all this ''Lydia Chlamydia"

All this what?? I think Lydia is an awesome name.

Really not a fan of Eliza but love Theodora (Dora as nn). DH won't have it Sad

Also like Frances but dislike Fanny and DH isn't keen anyway

Also like Alicia but it sounds like someone with a lisp is saying it

Eliza would be my current number one choice.

Alicia is pretty.

Beatrice
Thea
Annabel are all pretty.
