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 :)

Rosalind and Eleanor are OTT? 😆

I wanted Persephone for DD, DH couldn't get over the name means "to destroy" or "bringer of destruction"

would have been fucking perfect for our charming but clumsy girl

I love Cassiopeia or Persephone Smile

JuneBalloon · 10/05/2018 15:01

Ooh! Best part about having children is naming them... (obviously I'm joking... or am I???) Grin

In no particular order:

Hermione
Jemima (my favourite)
Genevieve
Tallulah (my second favourite)

And, for what it's worth, absolutely nothing hyphenated, ever! It will always be shortened to just the first part and sounds so chavvy/snobbish (depending upon the names). Just my opinion...
