Middle name for Claudia

[GloomyTubeNosedBat]

DH wants Amelie which I like but then her initials would be CAC, which I don't like for obvious reasons.

Need a name like Louise but can't have that as it's dd1's middle name. Any bright ideas anyone?

How about Claudia June?

Gloomy
The West Wing is a fictional account of life in the West Wing of the White House, ie. the President and staffers. It is a FAB series, and CJ Cregg, the White House press secretary is a wonderful character. A clever, funny, kind and thoughtful woman.

Is the Cloud-ia side of the family German? That is how DH's family would pronounce it.

I was coming on to suggest Claudia-Jean
I am seriously considering josiah edward JEd if this baby is a boy

I love Josiah Edward / Jed. Cool name. Does rather out you as a WW nut though.

Here, Gloomy - CJ was played by Allison Janney

I didn't watch x factor but Jedward sounds like a normal name to me now. The power of the media.

What about Red? (with Reuben Edward in full)

Btw, OliviaMN, do you not have a baby name thread running? I am sure that we could all help you with a name. :)

I'd go for Claudia Octavia Julia. Mainly because I was watching I clavdivs last night.

MMBITB not German but Italian

Patricia? We considered that for DD2 but DH felt like a class traitor and I refused to call her Plebia :)

Claudia Rose is very pretty, but Rose is very popular at the moment.

Will you need something that the Italian side of the family can pronounce?

Claudia Ellen

Claudia Eve

Claudia Ruth

Claudia Iris

I think that short names work well with Claudia.

We've settled on Claudia Elizabeth. The fact that DH and I have actually agreed on two names has kind of amazed both of us, so we aren't going to search any further!! The Italians won't have to pronounce the "th" on a daily basis as it's her middle name.

That is a very pretty name, well done.

Hide the baby name books now and don't tell anyone the name you have chosen until after she arrives.

thank u. Also thanks to everyone for all the other suggestions.

Claudia Jane

LOL at the West Wing fans on here. DH and I are having problems because we like lots of WW names - really like Claudia (although probably Claudia Jane instead of Jean), and Josiah (Edward), and Toby.

But it makes us sound like loons doesn't it?

I guess if we only used one of them it would be OK?

Agree in general short names work well with Claudia - Eve, May, Grace etc.
