Shortlist for DD2

30 replies

Snowhite12 · 23/01/2018 13:34

We seem to be really struggling to find a name we love for DD2.

One one hand I love classic names that are not too popular (DD1 is Elizabeth), especially when they have lots of cute nickname options. However, I'm worried about having two kids with this kind of old fashioned name and I do quite like cutesy, feminine names like Rosie, Evie etc too.
Don't want to choose something to overused though.

At the moment we're making a (not so) short list of the names we like and then we'll hopefully choose the one we both love from that list.

Sara (my favourite but DH unsure as there's one in the family)
Beatrice
Suzanne
Alexandra
Georgina
Caroline
Matilda
Francesca
Fiona
Amy
Maria
Carrie
Rosalind (sounds a bit odd with our surname but I do like Rosie)
Juliette (doesn't really work with surname though)
Chloe (probably too popular)
Evelyn (probably too popular)
Emily (definitely too popular)
Katherine (can't use as DD1's middle name)

Is there anything beautiful missing from our list?
And of the list, which one would you choose?

From your list I like Sara, Francesca, Maria and Juliette - I prefer it spelt Juliet but that's just a personal preference.
What about Anna or Rosa?

I love Alexandra.

Oo, and Francesca, gorgeous!

Wow, you have listed most of the names I love! We must have very similar tastes.

Rebecca is missing. To me it is timeless, absolutely beautiful.

From your list, I love Sara, Georgina and Juliette.
