Found out a few days ago we are expecting a beautiful baby girl which we are so so excited about, however we are really struggling for names.

We have 3 other children - Isabella, Arthur and Archie. The names we have so far are:

Dulcie
Adelaide
Margo
Aubrey

Suggestions and ideas are so welcome!

Her middle name will be Olivia if that helps.

thank you!

Only Margot -preferably spelled like that -out of your list. Aubrey is a boy’s name, so not right.
Elise
Beatrice
Clementine
Polly
Daphne

Agree that Aubrey is mostly a boy’s name in this country. There is an amazing female jazz singer/trombonist called Aubrey Logan but she is American.

CuriositysCat · 22/07/2023 09:49

I love Dulcie!

Also:
Imogen
Charlotte
Daisy
Poppy
Clementine
Polly
Abigail
Elizabeth (Beth, Libby, Elsie, Betty, Betsy)

Congratulations.

Lovely names on your list so far.

Other names that spring to mind:
Marnie
Meredith
Dorothea
Dorothy
Pollyanna
Josephine

Do you mean Audrey? Isn’t Aubrey a boys name?

Dulcie Olivia is adorable with Isabella, Arthur and Archie.
Second, I like Margot Olivia.

Thanks all - I love Saskia that’s been mentioned. I am really set on Dulcie at the moment even though it’s been vetoed 😰 I love Sienna and Florence too!

I think not Dulcie is the main thing (is it a name?!) also ideally not Aubrey which is traditionally male and sounds it

Adelaide is nice - quite popular
Margot nice but very overdone right now

Adela is a more unusual version

or maybe

Zoe
Verity
Imogen
Ines
Lois
Clio
Marianne

Cecelia

snowgal · 21/07/2023 22:55

Theodora
Flora
Eleanor
Penelope
Florence

Saskia

Juliana?

sandrene · 21/07/2023 22:20

Agree it can't be too plain. And I'd avoid an A name because then Isabella would be the only odd one out. Dulcie is way too cutesie/not classy to me and the others a bit short /harsh sounding next to Isabella.

How about Isabella, Arthur, Archie and...

Rosalia
Henrietta
Azaleah
Leonora
Danielle
Eliza
Ilaria
Gabriella

Congratulations btw!

Mumofgirls2017 · 21/07/2023 22:05

Out of your options, I think Margo goes best

arthur, Isabella, Archie and

ivy
iris
imogen
ida
isla
phoebe
clara
matilda
florence
eliza
evelyn
eleanor
harriet
penelope
nora
violet
beatrice
lillian
mabel

TobiasForgesContactLense · 21/07/2023 21:59

My immediate thought was Ophelia but that would be a bit much with Olivia.

I think that Margot, Isla or Imogen would be nice.

Thanks all - Olivia is my niece so we can’t use it unfortunately!

OP posts:
Bobbybobbins · 21/07/2023 21:57

Prefer Olivia as the first name but also like some suggestions above- Imogen especially

SE13Mummy · 21/07/2023 21:39

Charlotte
Florence
Harriet
Nancy

I'd avoid any name that starts with a vowel.

Jongleterre · 21/07/2023 21:29

Juliette or Juliet.

cherryassam · 21/07/2023 21:21

I have a thing about patterns so I’d be thinking of ‘I’ names:

Imogen Olivia
Isla Olivia
Iris Olivia
Ivy Olivia
Ines Olivia
India Olivia
Indigo Olivia
Indie Olivia
Ianthe Olivia
Iona Olivia
Imelda Olivia
Inessa Olivia
Iliana Olivia
Indiana Olivia

MerryChristmasToYou · 21/07/2023 21:14

Imogen is nice. I think you need something that doesn't look too plain next to Isabella

MerryChristmasToYou · 21/07/2023 21:13

Aubrey is traditionally a boy's name, and it starting wth the brothers' names starting with A might make it seem more so.

I like Olivia a lot more than your choices., so I'd use Olivia Margo.
Not quite what you asked.

Daffodil63 · 21/07/2023 21:09

Aubrey is such a favourite and timeless

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 21/07/2023 21:02

Imogen Olivia.
Daisy Olivia.
Megan Olivia
Nancy Olivia
Jasmine Olivia
Katie Olivia
Poppy Olivia.
Charlotte Olivia.

ShadowPuppets · 21/07/2023 20:59

Ah, I was thinking Octavia until you said the middle name was Olivia!

I’m getting vowels and MC vibes so…

Imogen
Alicia
Arabella
Emily
Evelyn
Odette (my DD’s middle name!)

Other thoughts:

Genevieve
Fiona
Cecily
Harriet

Of the yours -
Dulcie - sweet but didn’t feel like a grown ups name? Not sure how it would date
Adelaide - nice but makes me think of Australia!
Margo - love it but prefer Margot
Aubrey - always makes me think of Audrey!
