This name thing is really irritating me, I go through lists on the internet and they just blur into mush.

So if everyone just posts their 5 favorites here I may actually find something I like!

LOL! Each to their own!! I do like Nell but have 2 boys and dont want anymore and not sure I would be brave enough to call her Nell anyway.

They are quite American which is why I thought of Meredith.

Shelby?

I think both your DS's names sound American, so maybe you could search the US top names list? Somthing like Paige or Lois maybe?

so we need slightly unusual names as Dexter and Addison are not run of the mill names.

Dexter, Addison and Meredith

Dexter, Addison and Nell (a fave of mine)

Dexter, Addison and Rhea

My boys are Addison and Dexter.

I like Savannah, but our surname is Sales, so I think the 2 's' sounds are too much.

I wouldn't use names like 'Jane' etc ...
