Sister for Margot and Inez

We are currently pregnant with DD3 and are struggling with names!! DD1 is Margot Marie, the Margot honouring my dad (Mark) and Marie my husbands mums middle name. DD2 is Inez Philippa, Inez honouring my Spanish father in laws heritage and Philippa is my mums first name. Obviously we have now honoured the grandparents and are struggling with DD3s name.

We like names that are slightly unusual with a modern twist but also not completely foreign. We also think our girls names are quite bad-ass but that’s personal opinion Grin

My husband is half spanish and half Norwegen so we are considering names like Astrid, which we like but are not in LOVE with. For middle names we are thinking either a name starting with D as all her great grandmothers have a name starting with D or my husband is thinking of using my name, Kitty. So they are our thoughts so far. We have also considered first names like Eliza and Sadie.

Any suggestions of bad-ass girl names or middle names would be amazing!!

My middle name is Elspeth which is drawn from Elizabeth like Elise - so technically a family name ahhaha

I love Elspeth! It's my wonderful DM's name. Astrid works with so many of the names derived from Elizabeth

Really dislike Astrid. Harsh and sounds like some kind of tarmac.
Like Astraea though.

Love Delilah. Very pretty and mellifluous.

Delilah Elise.

Not Kitty sorry (I know it’s a family name)

I like Astrid

The name that came to mind initially when I saw your other DC names was Saskia.

Astrid Elise fits well with your older daughters names.

EmmaGrundyForPM · 04/04/2021 08:40

I love Astrid.

My first thought after reading your post was Stella. Astrid Stella sounds great.

Ikeameatballs · 04/04/2021 08:36

I think Astrid Elise.

MrsBertBibby · 04/04/2021 08:15

Astrid Elise

These are all such lovely suggestions - thank you. Knowing others think Astrid is modern rather than stodgy has started turning me towards it more - plus DH and I watched crazy rich Asians last night, which has an Astrid as a lead, really cool woman and it’s both made us more invested in the name (I know a movie/book shouldn’t affect that but I think it’s seeing it on someone else who’s young and independent really changes it)

So do you like:
Astrid Elise James
Astrid Kitty James
Astrid Delilah James

I think it has to have an international and also cool feel.

Rosa and Alma spring to mind - both international and end in an 'a' sound which is nice as all names have a different ending sound (which for some reason I love!). Astrid also very cool.

Dahlia - Scandinavian origin
