Have namechanged to be able to provide a bit more info to help you help me!

I'm 29wks pg and was feeling all smug about how I'd chosen DD2's name at about 8wks, but I've become more and more unsure and it just doesn't seem to be 'the one' anymore!

Both DH and I loved 'Juliet' but at almost the same time as I was starting to wobble about it, DH came out and said he wasn't sure about it anymore either. Argh!

Our new list is basically:

Sophia
Olivia
Hollie
Lois

DD1 is called Gabriella, our surname starts with H and only has one syllable - it's quite close to 'House' just to give you more to work with.

My total favourite from the list now is Hollie, but just worried it will sound strange with her surname also starting with an 'H' and being quite short. Also not sure how well it goes with DD1. DH's favourite is Lois.

What do you think? Any other name suggestions are also welcome! Smile

Oooh Florence and Gabriella is also really beautiful.

Juliet is gorgeous, stick with that!

Out of your other suggestions I also love Rebecca. Both sound lovely with Gabriella.

I like Elena a lot out of your list (well new list)

Dont care much for Hollie Sophia Olivia or Lois especially not to go alongside Gabrielle I much prefeer Juliet (though I would spell it Juliette personally just like that spelling better)

What about

Eloise/Eloisa?

Lillian / Lilliana

Vivianna/Vivienne

Corinne

Miranda

Verity

Josephine

Whilst I like Gabrielle as a name it is not one I think " wow you cant match that" with to me it a pretty name but definetly one you can find equals for.

I have a 14 year old daughter called Juliet. Seemed like a bit of a risk when we named her but I can honestly say I've never regretted it. It hasn't been shortened (much to my delight). I could've lived with a nickname Jet, but loathe Jules. However my daughter has been happy to stick with her name in full. Best of all she's never encountered another child with her name and lots of people compliment her and us on it.Smile

Think the OP could well have had her LO by now.

Due in February I believe.
