Help me decide! In hospital...

So I'm laying on the induction ward for the third day in a row, hoping that today will be the day that DD2 arrives! DD1 is Alice Robyn and we're still struggling to decide on a name for this little one. She will be taken straight to nicu due to health problems so we want to name her as soon as she's born.
Please help me!

Our favorites are..

Clara Willow - though we have some hesitance that the inlaw's suffolk accent might turn this into Clarrrrrrr!

Rose Amelie - but our double barreled surname starts with T-W, would she get RAT initials?!

Rose Matilda - though OH doesn't love this as much as Rose Amelie

Any other ideas or opinions? Feel like we're overthinking our choices as we pace the corridors!

I would go with Amelie Rose! Hope she arrives safely (and soon!) x

I love rose Amelia the best, such a sweet name

Congratulations!! Flowers

Sorry should've RTFT!
Beautiful name x

Mrsknackered · 05/10/2017 22:54

Tough call! Love them all.

Is Rose Clara an option? That would be my favourite. Not a massive fan of Matilda or Amelie.

I hope all goes as smoothly as possible OP, good luck Flowers

I'd go with Clara Rose. Good luck OP.

Good luck! Clara Willow is absolutely beautiful.

alphajuliet123 · 04/10/2017 13:38

Rosa Willow

Tempranillo · 04/10/2017 13:29

I wouldn't go for the same initials - that would be a nightmare for their post in the future. I hope she does well in NICU and you all get home soon. I like Clara.

starkid · 04/10/2017 13:18

Clara Willow is gorgeous!

steppemum · 04/10/2017 12:06

Clara is lovely

Alica and Clara go well together

you could chose a middle name in a day or two?

ElizaDontlittle · 04/10/2017 12:06

Lovely names - I hope she makes her entrance today!

I love Clara, but if you are worried it just won't work with the accent, Rose is lovely. Rosie is a cute nn if you wanted, and I don't think the RAT-W initials are that terrible, if Amèlie is your preference. It's not like using a middle name/initial is essential (tho I do for work now) I don't think it was ever on anything official at school.
Good luck Flowers

Lemondrop99 · 04/10/2017 12:03

Clara Willow is lovely. I'd stick with that.

thegirlupnorth · 04/10/2017 12:00

What about Amelie Rose then she has same initials as big sis?

KalaLaka · 04/10/2017 11:58

All beautiful. I love Rose Amelie

DuggeeHugs · 04/10/2017 11:58

Definitely Clara Willow!
Good luck Smile
