What do you think of the following...

[scottishmummy911]

Rosa
Lara
Juliet
Cara
Thea
Louisa
Cleo
Elena

Finding it impossible to chose, but was the same with DS1

[NorthernLurker]

Thea, Juliet or Louisa

Definately NOT Lara, Cleo or Elena

Rosa or Cara are ok - but I like the other three best.


By the way - you may want to consider a namechange for yourself. There is a very well known poster called scottishmummy - and she has a very definate personality!

[LaTristesse]

Lara and Louisa are my favourites... Thea wouldn't be good round my way as people don't pronounce their th's well....

[thisisyesterday]

my faves are

Juliet, Cara and Thea

[purepurple]

I love the name Thea.
Of the rest, I like Juliet and Louisa.

[darleneconnor]

Rosa ok, but sounds like a nn
Lara ppl might say Dr Zhivago but I like it
Juliet nice, solid
Cara lovely
Thea don't like this, sounds like a nn
Louisa very traditional, bit boring
Cleo a bit chavvy
Elena I like it but it might cause pronounciation probs

[scottishmummy911]

Thanks for all your feedback Darle whats nn?

Really liking thea but also like names that can be shortened (eg lulu for louisa) to give a bit more choice as baby grows up.

[Hedwig3]

LOVE Rosa!

[BubbaAndBump]

nn = nickname

how are you pronouncing Elena (is it eh-lay-na or ell-eh-na?)

Really like Thea actually, and Cleo is a bit more unusual.

Not so keen on Juliet

Do they all 'go' with your DS's name? (and have you considered middle names and therefore initials?)

[Violet5]

It depends on the surname, really. My partner's surname begins with a 'R', which means that I can't have R-names or anything like Laura, Lara, Clara, Thea, etc. because the speaker trips over the last syllable. This isn't his surname, but for instance: LAU-ruh-RUH-kit.
