Our baby girl is due in 3 weeks and we cannot agree a name. What do you think of these (her middle name will be Rhian):

Evanna
Ottilie
Darcey
Martha
Beatrix
Etta
Elin
Clara
Betsan

We're Welsh so there are a couple of Welsh names on our list - Thank you!

I'm glad someone else thought of the Edith Piaf song, I was berating myself for making weird connections. You have a really lovely list there OP but I would be careful (sadly) of both Evanna Rhian and Etta Rhian for fear she'll have the song sung at her... 'Non, d'Evanna Rhian... Non, je ne regrEtta Rhian...'

Ottilie or Martha go best with Rhian. Etta and Elin are lovely too thought.

crapfatbanana · 24/03/2017 23:00

KarineAimee · 24/03/2017 22:51

While I love Etta I'd point out that Etta Rhian sounds an awful lot like "non, je ne regr(ette rien)" by Edith Piaf, which might not bother you but I'm not sure I could take seriously Grin

This is very helpful, thanks everyone! We have a niece called Dela so unfortunately we've ruled out Delyth, lovely Welsh name.
