5 days old and still nameless....

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?????

chazm3 · 29/09/2008 23:49

Thumbwitch - I believe so. I bought the Amanda Foreman book at the time it came out and remember from the publicity fanfare then that the 'correct' pronunciation there was Geor-jayna. Sounds weird to me, too - possibly an archaic form? - but as far as I know it's an aberration and generally speaking the name should be pronounced as it's written.

thumbwitch · 29/09/2008 23:10

facetious - could call her Inominata (Latin for unnamed)
Or perhaps Athene (serious, I like that name)

tripletsandtwins · 29/09/2008 22:57

I like Mia Rose and Claudia Rose.

I have an Elena-Rose

Good luck choosing and congrats on the baby

I think Eloise and Isabella go lovely together, although i take thumbwitches point - its doesn't 'flow' exactly with Rose.

Mia is very pretty and not particularly common around these parts, not sure if it is in other areas??

For a 'a' theme, how about:

Sarah
Anna
Clara
Emma
Hannah
Jenna
Olivia
Maia

MrPinkerton · 29/09/2008 22:57

Claudia - I think that's a very cool name

Sophia - very pretty

Lydia - lovely

makes me want a dd!

no, but it is odd with Rose! Eloise Rose, no.
Mia is quite common these days, isn't it? nice though.

What about Letitia?

I did think of Eloise, but is that odd with Isabella? Mia is pretty too

Thanks for all suggestions
don't think can have Annabel as too like Isabella, I like Cordelia but my sister managed to put me off with her reaction to it - should have just waited til I decided, I know

The Geor-jayna thing comes from the (?) Amanda Foreman biography of the Duchess of Devonshire, on which the recent Keira Knightley film was based. Apparently, that was how the lady in question's name was pronounced.

controlfreakinfreaky · 29/09/2008 22:41

melissa is nice...

floaty · 29/09/2008 22:40

Meredith Rose or Amelia Rose

Simplysally · 29/09/2008 22:40

Henrietta?

Eleanor?

avenanap · 29/09/2008 22:38

Georgia Rose is a lovely name.

thumbwitch · 29/09/2008 22:38

I knew a pair of sisters called Claudia and Georgia (Geor-gee-a), although I think I prefer Georgiana (pron. Geor-gee-ahna, not Geor-jayna as some pleb presenter on tv said it)

MadBadandDangeroustoKnow · 29/09/2008 22:38

Miranda Rose
Eleanor Rose
Anabel Rose
Imogen Rose
Cordelia Rose
