I've always loved the names Zoe and Emma but can't use them. Also love Sophia but no one else does (I dislike the name Sophie though).
Want something fairly classic But not to old fashioned (e.g Beatrice, Susan etc).

Pamela
Rosalind

I have 2 dd's already (names have been mentioned) and if I have another, I like Sophia, Olivia or Sarah.
So many beautiful girls' names, very hard to choose.

Emmeline
Elizabeth
Verity
Antigone
