We've found out we're expecting a third girl (!!) and we are really struggling for a name this time.

I like Constance but DH has vetoed. He wants Mary or Madeleine but I hate both.

Help us please!

Also, I know two Vitas, one of whom is short for Victoria so Vicky is not inevitable - also know a Tori but Vita goes better I think
Charlotte?

Josephine
Roberta

Really like Phillipa, but yes I think it would end up as Pippa.

Rachael, Rebecca, Georgia, Harriet.
Are your daughter's in age order E and C? If so, I'd be tempted to have an A name as I like things to have an order and alphabetically, that would be counting down backwards skipping a letter each time EdCbA. (Equally if they're C then E I'd go for a G name.) A names... Annabelle, Anna, Alice, Annalise, Agatha

What do Elizabeth and Catherine go by?

You can't have Mary with that lot, you'll sound like a bunch of Tudor court reenacters Grin

Also liking Julia and Sophia. I think Victoria fits brilliantly but I really dislike Vicky and I think it's inevitable...

Some great suggestions so far, I really like Philippa, will run past DH and see what kind of reaction I get. Alice is a likely contender for middle name.

Is Philippa destined to be Pippa?

Alexandra
Caroline

SirVixofVixHall · 10/09/2019 22:41

I love Constance. I don’t think it is too similar to Catherine. It is such a beautiful name. I also like Mary.
Pps have already suggested the names that I think of as in the same vein.
Julia is the only other one I can think of.

LL83 · 10/09/2019 22:40

Florence or Rebecca

Mrsjayy · 10/09/2019 22:40

True Connie doesn't really flow with her sisters names.

NameChange30 · 10/09/2019 22:39

Florence
Georgina
Grace
Helen
Isabel / Isobel
