OTT totally fabulous girls name

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 :)

Persephone nn Persy- I wish I’d been brave enough!! Also Josephine nn Joey or Posey.

Romilly is another frilly name I like.

I know a Tallula Belle, known as Lula. Fabulous.

mrssmooth · 10/05/2018 19:00

I would have loved one of my 3 dds to be called Ariadne, but dh wouldn't let me!

Ophelia is a fabulous name. Delilah is also fabulous (and happens to be my niece's name). Tallulah is also fab.

Velvet - so sweet and utterly OTT but would work for youngest daughter !

I would have used Mehetabel in a heartbeat, if (a) we didn't have ten letter surname, and er, rather more crucially, (b) DH would have ever agreed to it. Which he would never have done so.

LadyPug · 10/05/2018 18:29

What a cool thread! How about Pansy or Petunia?

Monkeypuzzle32 · 10/05/2018 18:25
