She's having Rose as a middle name after my mum, but still not sure about first names.

I'm veering towards Claudia (Claw-dia, rather than cloud-ia)

Her dad likes Sophia better

I had Eve, Miranda and Lydia as possibilities, but still not really feeling keen on any. Dd1 is Isabella so something to go with that.

Any other ideas?????

Fwiw, I think that Claudia Rose is an absolutely beautiful name. Many congratulations on her birth, whatever you end up calling her!

what about amber rose i think it sounds nice

Jux · 05/10/2008 12:50

We'd had a name sorted for dd long before she was born, but the instant I saw her I knew it was the wrong one. We spent weeks wandering around calling her names that popped into our heads (which we vaguely liked) to see if any fitted. The instant dh came up with the name she has now, we knew it was the right one. We were just within the time limit for registering her. So don't worry - the right one will come.

Haven't had a chance to MN for a bit. Well when we went to singing at the library they were having a youngest baby to join competition, nd she needed a name to join, so I went with Claudia Rose. I'm still not entirely certain, and there are lots of names on here I like too, but I think it's probaby the one.

About Cordelia, my sister just went "oh, you wouldn't, would you?" in a horrified voice, but I like it.

Thanks for all your suggestions

Oooh I love Tabitha and Athena! These are exactly the sort of names I would suggest to DH and get a quizzical look in reply.

wabbit · 01/10/2008 16:00

Tabitha Rose
Athena Rose
Talitha Rose (same name as Tabitha I think but more biblical and less feline)

nappyaddict · 01/10/2008 15:50

rebecca

what are you calling her then?

OLIVIASMAMA · 01/10/2008 13:27

Rose is so pretty - don't you like it as a first name?

I have an Olivia which I just love ......slight give away on my profile name!

Congratulations!

rebeccahill · 01/10/2008 12:19

don't worry, our daughter is five and a half weeks and still hasn't got a name! you've got lots of time.

katz · 01/10/2008 10:09

i like the name Annalise (its my youngest's name) and if we ever have a third i'd like to call her Isabella.

fanjolina · 01/10/2008 10:06

Serena Rose?

MadBadandDangeroustoKnow · 01/10/2008 09:33

Miranda is a Latin gerundive and its literal meaning is 'she who must be admired'. Likewise, Amanda is 'she who must be loved'.

Oh, Cassius, that's fine - my next guess was going to be Shylock

Hatrick, you never called your DS Caliban??

I was reading an Isobel Wolff novel the other day and discovered that apparently Miranda is a Shakespearean invention - from the Latin for "to admire". Cool huh. I like it. But not with Rose, necessarily.

I think the 3-yllable names with the emphasis on the first syllable scan best with Rose, but that's just a personal preference.
