Need inspiration for soon-to-be DD3!

Aozora13 · 06/05/2021 20:05

Just found out today that I’m expecting a third DD. I love my other girls names but a bit at a loss for a third. Based on the mumsnet appraisal of my 2 DDs my taste is “trendy” “harsh/spiky” and “a bit try hard” Grin

Names I love but can’t use (for various reasons) include:
Anouk
Astrid
Hester
Harriet
Iona
Luna
Petra
Raven
Saskia
Suraya
Stevie

I’m currently toying with Marianne, Elowen, Yolanda and Winter.

Inspire me please!

I think Marianna Winter sounds fabulous!
Morrigan Raven could be a contender?

Thanks everyone, these are great! She will have a super boring generic English surname so I feel like there’s scope for a more uncommon first name - without going too younique. Needs to pass the “can I shout it across the park without feeling like a twat” test...

Think I’m going to abandon Winter - not least as think it might be weird to have a season name when you’re born in a different season - or am I overthinking...

@Peachbubble I can’t use Astrid as...I used it already! But love it!!
