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 :)

Amaryllis and Araminta are my favourite out there frilly names. My actual dd's name has been mentioned so I have form Grin

ReggaetonLente · 10/05/2018 17:18

Our top three for DD arriving in August are Valentina, Mirabelle and Angelina... all mentioned on here!

I wouldn’t even consider us out there or over the top people 🙈

Ariadne.
I taught a kick-ass Ariadne in nursery. She was fabulous, it also lends itself to the v. cool nickname Ari.

I love the name Anita. Not really "out there" but it doesn't go with my surname so I can't use it which makes me like it even more!

What about the name "Friend" ? I was thinking of it the other day. Don't know if it's ever used as a name... If you were called Friend then you would always be greeted in a nice way by people. Imagine everyone saying "Hi Friend" to you even if they didn't know you well :)

catinapoolofsunshine · 10/05/2018 16:45

Oh Tatiana is good in this context too.

catinapoolofsunshine · 10/05/2018 16:44

Names from Greek and Roman mythology seem to fit the bill to me. Libera, Ariadne, Artemis... Tallulah sounds like a stripper's stage name though...

Sassy306 · 10/05/2018 16:40

Gin there are girls with 3 out of your 4 names in my dc3's class!

JessyJames · 10/05/2018 16:29

I met a Mirabelle today. I think it's a very pretty name.

GinThereDoneThat · 10/05/2018 16:28

Tallulah or Valentina are beautiful!

I also like Angelina and Isabella!

If you really want to go OTT, do 3-4 middle names Grin
