Found out (wonderful surprise!) baby 4 is another girl. Thought we were done at 3 kids so used up all the remaining faves on DD3. DH and I are totally stuck on names. We currently have Eliza, Florence and Matilda, and some middle names/names we like but can't use for various reasons are:

Annie
Athena
Blythe
Clementine
Emmeline
Iris
Jemima
Louisa
Margot
Marnie
Violet

Would love your suggestions!!

Wow amazing responses - currently sat with DH going through them all!

Immediate thoughts:
Frances - love this but can't imagine it on a baby for some reason?
Cecily - feel the same way as Frances, feels a bit too grown up for a baby?
Ottilie - one of my favourites but can't convince DH
Beatrice - love Bebe as a nn, but not overly keen on Beatrice, do like Beatrix though

Reluctant to go for a name ending with an A as will have 3 ending with an A and 1 not, although am I overthinking that?

They are nice names but Matilda and Eliza both quite overused. Florence is a bit little girly to me - although I like Flora.
