Romilly
Rowena
Ferne

DH won’t consider them. Rowena is my favourite from that list but he thinks it sounds like a wicked witch type character from a Disney film.

My criteria is that it’s a name that isn’t top 50 but isn’t that unheard of that people say ‘oh, that’s unusual’ in a sneery tone.

(DH has been sent away to come up with a few fecking ideas if his own rather than dismissing all of mine).

Romilly is lovely.

How about Juno?

Felicity, if you like Verity but find it too prim

Kinvara is in Galway, Ireland.
Outside Galway city.

@HeyDolly re the laxative thing, Cassia is the name for the genus of plant, including Senna (which is a laxative). I'd say it is quite a tenuous link. It is a form of cinnamon.

Or Rowan is pretty.

RosieLig · 06/05/2018 12:12

I heard the name Kinvara and thought it was lovely-it’s a place in Ireland I think.

Saskia is lovely.

IVflytrap · 06/05/2018 12:07

If you like Cassia but aren't sure, how about Kezia?

Ooh love pp suggestion of Saskia! I also love Cassia, and definitely don't think of it as a made up name.

Verity is lovely, very classy and well known but not much used. It would suit a posh girl but not out of place if you're not.

I do like the name Verity but wonder if it sounds a bit posh/Mayfair? (Of which I’m neither Grin).

I love Cassia but have read on here a few times that it’s not a ‘proper’ name and is a brand of laxative. Haven’t googled yet to see if that’s correct or not!

I also like Juliet but hate Jules (I know I can’t control nn’s when she starts school etc). It is a contender though and a name that DH would probably go for.

I also like the name Meredith but a family member already has a DD called that. Other names I like but can’t use are Thea, Merryn & Marnie.

Thanks for the suggestions so far Smile
