We are expecting DD no 3 later this year and struggling to think of any names!

DH has declared since she is to be our last he wants to go out with a bang and come up with a completely over the top wonderful name.

So out of interest- what girls names can you think of that are a bit OTT. Or names that you would have loved to use but were too scared?

Disclaimer - I still want something pretty but simple so this is more to humour DH :)

There is a girl in DC's class called Tallulah, just makes me think of Bugsy Malone every time I hear it Grin

Cleopatra - Cleo ( know 2 of them, one aged around 8 and the other around 20)

Please do remember that the poor kid has to live with the name forever and will never be able to buy anything with it's name on Grin

Cassandra/Topaz (from I Capture the Castle)
Esmeralda
Estella
Sapphire

Love Tallulah and Seraphina.

But I’d say that if your children are called Mary and Emily, or something equally run of the mill, it’ll look straight up bizarre to give the third an over the top, flamboyant name.

I went to school with a girl called Elspeth .... beautiful name, and underused as pp said.
