Sister for Antonia

Middle name will be Helene, fairly bland surname like Smith.

Our favourite so far is Francesca but not really, really grabbing us. Also considered Clara, Rowena and Jemima so anything along those sorts of lines...

Thank you!

Thanks to everyone who helped us. We wrote a shortlist and then picked 3 names each. And the only name we both had on our lists was Francesca. So that's what we are going for!!

How about Natasha or Christina? I also know an Antonia with a sister called Celeste

Really like Francesca. And Cesca is a nice dim.

In keeping with the Roman theme - Claudia, Tatiana, Giustina/iana

Some beautiful names here, thank you all. Not due til May but we chose Antonia quite early on and I liked being settled on a name. DH at home today so will go through these with him. Least we have a boys name ready!
