Caramel

Caramac

is what this name brings to mind for me.

I also have colours for names in my head and this is definitely a beige sort of name.

Romilly

Imogen

Edie

Annabel

Have you had the baby yet?

sabini · 26/09/2010 18:24

maybe Cassandra??
Catalina?
Does it have to dtart with C ?? :)

rachxx · 26/09/2010 18:25

no, but I dont have one name on my shortlist, I hate all my other halfs names, and time is running out.

beige name, lmao, I have colours for names too haha.

I did like Carmen but it ryhmes with surname.

Esme?

Dont choose a name,if I may say,like Isabella or Mia or Sophie or Isla they seem to be very popular at the moment and then your child ends up being Isabella-Issy F. or D. or whatever letter your surname begins with in her class/year! Annoying!(speaking from personal experience)
Maybe get a Baby Name Book if you havent got one already!!

rachxx · 26/09/2010 18:42

Hehe I have lods of baby name books. And luckily I don't like sophie and Isabella anyway. Did like Mia, But I know a few ffriends have them, (same with lola,Kiera scarlett)

Will suggest Esme to OH. it Es-may or Es-me??

sabini · 26/09/2010 18:54

Es-may!
Thought you might have loads of books:)
Name overload,it gets a bit much-makes it harder when there are so many names to choose from,doesnt it? And some are quite frankly very silly!

zenon · 26/09/2010 18:59

Xanthe, Clemency or Leonora are fantastic names. Your DD will likely be the only one in school. Smile Gorgeous, beautiful,old established names yet rarely heard.

Isabella, Sophie,Mia/Eva etc have had their day and are now everywhere. Think outside the box.

rachxx · 26/09/2010 19:26

Yes Thats what Im trying Zenon! I like the way Xanthe is spelt, and Clemency, but nt keen on leonora!

Oh and with Xanthe, what is pronounciation, as have heard three ways!!

Ava - beautiful name. What about Ava Camille?

rachxx · 26/09/2010 19:37

I do lke Ava- But I know about 10...dont really want to pinch friends/families daughters names. As for camille, I strangely dont like this even though like Carmen and Carmel!! Think it reminds me of camilla too much!

Isabella and Ava are beautiful- they are popular for a reason! Esme is lovely as well, really pretty and not too popular (by me anyway!)

zenon · 26/09/2010 19:45

Xanthe = Zan-thee. When you say it out loud it has a beautiful sound. The meaning in Greek is fair/blond hair.

Antonia is another lovely name.Smile

Good Luck!

SixtyFootDoll · 26/09/2010 19:45

I was bullied by a girl called Carmela

rachxx · 26/09/2010 19:53

Not for you then SixtyFootDoll

I keep returning to Dulcie. Its the only name we have both liked...but it doesnt get very good reactions.

OP posts:
Scarabeetle · 26/09/2010 19:54

Juliette?

sarahscot · 26/09/2010 20:12

How do you pronounce Dulcie?

I heard Marnie the other day and loved it. It's hard to know if it's me that loves it or if it's the hormones, IYSWIM.

rachxx · 26/09/2010 20:32

Marnie. I like!!!! Thats going on the new list. Im probably being silly and will look back in a years time and think O.M.G

OP posts:
rachxx · 26/09/2010 20:33

Most say Dull-see but some say Dowl-see

Panzee · 26/09/2010 20:33

I quite like Cara, that's similar without being the nun from Neighbours. Wink

pressyourthumbs · 26/09/2010 20:50

Dulcie is nice, if you both like it, why not? I have only come across it once. Marnie is nice too- very unusual. I know a teenage Marlene who gets called Marnie sometimes as a nn.

pressyourthumbs · 26/09/2010 20:52

Although, just to be awkward, I think I like Carmella best!

rachxx · 26/09/2010 21:01

Im now thinkng

Scarlett Sienna
Dulcie Lola
Carmella Marnie

Ohhh I dont know...none of them really flow

maybe Ill just call her Jane...
