DH likes Charlotte, but is the association with the little Princess too strong?

I don;t like any of them enough to use but if i had to chose from that list it would be Clara.

Buntysoven · 10/06/2017 01:30

Gabriel and Selina sound ace

blahthisistoohard · 10/06/2017 01:26

Rose or Felicity but I think Rose goes better with Gabriel. Some people have said that Rose is overused at the moment, I disagree- it is overused as a middle name but not a first name.

Least favourite, the one beginning with E.

Gabriel and Mirabel are much too 'rhymey' for siblings!

NotMyPenguin · 09/06/2017 22:16

In terms of how the sibling names go together, I think these are the nicest combinations:

  • Gabriel and Rose
  • Gabriel and Lillian
Ojoj1974 · 09/06/2017 22:12

Favourite- Margot
Really dislike- mirabel

harderandharder2breathe · 09/06/2017 18:24

Most - Beatrice and Felicity

Least - Eulalie and Fleur

IHeartDodo · 09/06/2017 18:02

Yep, 1/2 Dutch so hence Anouk. I think I agree with the concensus on Eulalie not being so good- it was a bit of a whim! x

In that case I think it's nice!
I'm half Dutch too and Beatrix is on my list.
I like that it's both Dutch (Queen Beatrix) and English (Beatrix Potter), and easy to pronounce in both. Also lots of possible nicknames.
...and I'm a call the midwife fan!

yikesanotherbooboo · 09/06/2017 17:52

I like Clara and felicity
I don't like eulalie or anouk

pilates · 09/06/2017 17:29

Like - Lillian

Dislike - Flora

PhuntSox · 09/06/2017 17:00

Margot and Beatrice! Fantastic names!

Iris65 · 09/06/2017 16:48

I like Flora, Clara and Rose the most (in that order).
I dislike Eulalia and Anouk equally.

Anouk makes me think of eskimos - think its because of the 'Nanuk of the North' my family used to say about someone bundled up against the cold.
Eulalia reminds of ukelele or even labia Confused

RiverTam · 09/06/2017 16:48

Rose

Really don't like any other the others.

I know a little Anouk, I find it a very harsh sounding and looking name.

Onceafortnight · 09/06/2017 16:46

Most - Rose

Least - Lilian

Never heard of - Eulalie

AmysTiara · 09/06/2017 16:43

I really dislike Beatrice but it's a popular name on MN.

I like your other names and i think Felicity is my favourite.

birdspooping · 09/06/2017 16:41

On the Charlotte connection aspect, when reading your OP i thought, the little Princess, i don't know that book! So people don't necessarily instantly associate it with the real life princess Smile

OuiMerci · 09/06/2017 16:39

Lovely list, OP. Both my DDs' names are on there!

Thanks to everyone so far. Seems like Clara, Felicity, Rose, Beatrice & Flora are most popular and with divided opinion on Anouk.
Her big brother's name is Gabriel, if that helps, and surname plain and monosyllabic.

I like Flora, Rose and Felicity best (in that order). I don't like the last name on the list as I'm not sure how to pronounce it and I don't like Fleur, Mirabel or Selena either. Good luck with making your choice OP.
