I have an Iris, a Beatrice and an Elspeth and need some help with potential DD4, (we have a boys name).

The list is currently:
Agatha
Verity
Tabitha
Cecelia
Cornelia.

Thoughts? Any other suggestions?

Thanks.

Agatha.

I bloody love Agatha. I also love Verity, I know a little Verity and she's a little joy.

I just came to say Cordelia or Hermione or Marguerite.

I do! A lot of them I’ve considered before so people are spot on, but a fair few are family (huge family), friends’ children or middle names.

I’ve added Cordelia, Cora, Margot and Jemima to the list,

Love your boy names as well! Gabriel is my favourite, but like them all enormously.

Do you like any more of the ideas here, OP?

I’ve chosen Sebastian, with Gabriel and Jasper as reserve names.

I also thought of Martha when I saw your DDs’ names.

How about Ethne?

Would you be willing to share your boy name? I think we have similar tastes and I am really stuck on boys’ names...

Don't usually get involved with these threads, but I have to say that I wish I'd been brave enough to go with Agatha for my dd, who is now almost thirty. Or Winifred, after my lovely great aunt who was like a granny to me.

I wanted a 'great aunt' name for my daughter. There were a whole bunch of women who came of age during the First World War. Many didn't marry, as expected at the time because so many men were killed, but these were strong women, who got on with their lives, who wouldn't let anyone mess with them.

My wish for my daughter was that she would grow up to be a strong woman, not letting anyone walk all over her, doing what she wanted to do rather than letting life dictate to her, and that is largely what she is.

Ironically, the deeply unfashionable name I gave her is now all over the place and seems to be regarded as pretty and girly.
