Pregnancy insomnia help here please! Lying awake thinking about girls names. Number 2 expected end of May, gender surprise. Boys name decided but girls very much not so. Number 1 is Tabitha, nearly always Tabby, which we love and are struggling to match.

Would love opinions on the following or suggestions for anything with a similar feel...
Cecily
Leonie
Jemima
Georgina
Anouska

Looking for something classic but a bit unusual (aren’t we all 🤣).

Middle names will probably be Flora / and or Bridget - family names.

THANK YOU!

I absolutely love the name Tabitha! From your list for DC2 Jemima would be my pick or Georgiana (rather than Georgina).

Love PP’s suggestion of Beatrix (Tabby and Trixie? Grin)

Other suggestions:
Dulcie
Mabel
Nelle
Norah
Lavinia
Cordelia

We had exactly the same problem as our tabby was our first, we had a boys choice but we couldn't think of a girls name that we liked as much. We both agreed on
Imogen
Saskia
Remy
Sorrel
I also liked Vivica and Paloma but DH not so much

But we found out at 20 weeks he was a boy so didn't explore much further
Good luck!
