DD1 is Clarissa "scandi flower" virtue name"

So, like Clarissa Akleja Temperance (for example!).

If DC 2 is a girl... I really like these:

Gemma (my favourite name tbh. It's Italian, which is great and means there will not be pronunciation issues...)
Natalia (after my favourite cousin. One of my favourite cousins. But he will be the godparent)
Antonia
Carlotta (can we have a Clarissa and a Carlotta?)

The middle names will probably Erika and an other virtue name.
Or Mirabelle Ingrid :) Maybe. Or Olympia? OR Dorothea, my mother's favourite name. We're still working on that tbh.

Thanks :)

I really like Carlotta and it sounds great with Clarissa.

No. But Mirabelle is... well, I guess in the widest sense of the word?it does mean wonderful. Maybe not really a virtue name. But it would be a name chosen for the meaning. Like DD's virtue name. Maybe that doesn't make sense? But it makes sense in my head ;)

Ingird would go with the scandi middle name DD1 has.

But the middle names are currently a totally undecided tumbly mess in my head.
Sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned them. I mean, the most important thing is the first one anyway, right?

Carlotta Ingrid is nice!

We currently live in London. But we may move back to my homecountry :)

Mirabelle Ingrid would be middle names. Sorry.

I tried so hard to not make my post confusing and I think I failed. Shoot...

I mean, only these are considered for the first name:

Gemma (my favourite name tbh. It's Italian, which is great and means there will not be pronunciation issues...)
Natalia (after my favourite cousin. One of my favourite cousins. But he will be the godparent)
Antonia
Carlotta

I also think Clarissa and Carlotta adorable :)!! But maybe too adorable? I also love Gemma, so. Maybe I have bad a taste in names ;)

Oh sorry, I thought that was a totally other option. Ingrid isn't a virtue, is it?

Sophronia · 07/03/2017 13:56

My cat's name is Mirabelle! Grin

I like Antonia Mirabelle Ingrid

MadMags · 07/03/2017 13:52

I thought Mirabelle was a second name?

I'd call my cat that, not my dd!

peaceloveandbiscuits · 07/03/2017 13:51

I really like Mirabelle Ingrid. Where do you live?

MadMags · 07/03/2017 13:49

It's entirely possible that I'll be the only one who thinks this...but I think Clarissa and Carlotta is adorable!

I like all your picks, except Antonia.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 07/03/2017 13:49

Natalia fits lovely with Clarissa. Gemma is awful, sorry
