Portia

I think Frances is lovely - but my dh wants Francis for a boy (and having both would be too confusing ) How about Francesca - would your dp be more keen on that as it's a bit more feminine sounding?

Eve or Matilda (except it doesn't go with our surname)

PrincessButtercup · 26/11/2008 20:16

Imogen
Tess
Ursula
Ottillie

Delilah

Emma, coz then our initials would be B,C,D,E, F,G.
B is our surname, C and D are me and dh, dd is G and ds is F. Then we realised the alphabet thing so have to go for E next. Then A. Then we'll stop.

Lizzylou · 26/11/2008 11:35

Thea or Annabel(le)

dizzydixies · 26/11/2008 11:33

oh no powerofgreyskull Charlotte is lovely too

I loved Grace but as DD1 was >10lbs and DD2 >11lbs there was no way either of them were going to be a 'Grace'

bythepowerofgreyskull · 26/11/2008 10:03

golly in comparison to all these names we are very boring.

But it would be Charlotte Grace
