Look, I know this is pathetic, but we're really stuck for a name for DD3 (she's 2 weeks old already, poor thing). We have a Benedict, a Felicity and a Cecilia. Suggestions please.

I was convinced throughout the pregnancy that she was a boy, in which event she would have been Theodore.

Criteria:

Very short surname so has to have 3 or 4 syllables.

Not too many Ls as would be silly with surname

Early Roman saint would be perfect but we can't find one that's "right" iyswim

Thank you for any ideas you could throw into the naming hat.

Verity

Someone mentioned Genevieve earlier, that is beautiful.
Or Octavia

I know a Fenella sibling of one of those names.
Verity is absolutely the same kind of name as your other dd's.
Stella is my fave, but I don't know if it goes.

I like Heloise. Pretty without being too girly; and unusual without being wacky.
