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 :)

I always harboured a secret desire to call a girl Annunziata. Too much Cynthia Harrod Eagles read at an impressionable age!

Another vote for Seraphina.

Another vote for Hepzibah. I used to work with a lady of that name and she was so clever and sweet. Didn't have the guts to use it for my daughter, plus probably wouldn't have got it past her father...

Friend of a friend named his daughter Scarlet Rebel.

She is a bit n´all.

Imagine if she had been bookish?

Vivienne has not been mentioned yet, I don´t think.

Only have DSs so never got to use our girl name which, in a nod to DHs love of 1970s Dr Who, was Romana, shortened to Marnie. However, also loved Hephzibah.

However do I keep in mind that if your other children are Olivia and Freya they could become quite resentful that their sister had a more exotic name.

Ooh yes I'd go for Christabel.

Pretty and not too ridiculous.

Growingboys · 10/05/2018 12:15

Nothing double-barrelled.

Assuming PP suggesting Prosecco was joking!

I think over the top names are a bit passe now, so if I had another daughter I'd call her Elizabeth.

Sorry, totally missing the point here.

Euphemia: means well spoken, also the name of Effie Gray
