DH and I are in a bit of a pickle here. I have just given birth to a gorgeous DD1. Problem is, we were convinced she was going to be a boy, and had decided on a boy's name and hadn't worried that we could not decide on a girl's name at all. The only combination we could find that we liked were Eliza Beatrice, but that's Natalie Cassidy's baby's name! We would be very grateful for suggestions. Thank You!!!

You are not likely to bump into her though.I love the name eliza I think you should stick with it

BettyDouglas · 21/02/2011 15:18

I wouldn't worry about that. Most people probably don't know that and it's not a 'way out' name that everyone would associate with her.

It's a lovely name. I would imagine you'll just call her Eliza in which case nobody will bat an eyelid.

Could you swap the names so it's Beatrice Eliza, or Beatrice Elizabeth?

How about

Anna/Annabel/Annie
Eloise
Charlotte
Alice
Lucy
Estella
Emma
Josephine/Josie
Hannah
Clementine
Clara
Ivy
Georgia

Love Eliza and if you want to use Beatrice too, I don't think anyone would bat an eyelid!

Eliza Genevieve/Vivienne/Rosamund/Florence/Constance are options?

LadyGlencoraPalliser · 21/02/2011 15:35

Anything except Eliza Jane. Grin Seriously, immediate family apart who knows what anyone's middle name is anyway. If you like it, go for it. I think it's a lovely name.

KenDoddsDadsDog · 21/02/2011 15:36

Eliza is gorgeous. I am a slebaholic and didn't realise she had an Eliza Beatrice. What about Beatrix instead?
Congratulations!

thisisyesterday · 21/02/2011 15:37

oh i had no idea she had a baby called that!

really, if you love the name then use it. most peopole you meet (and most importantly people that SHE meets) won't have a clue

VinegarTits · 21/02/2011 15:38

How about Beatrix Elizabeth

thunderbird69 · 21/02/2011 15:42

Elise?

mumatron · 21/02/2011 15:51

my dd2 (6weeks) is Eliza Natalie. I really wanted to call her Eliza Rose but dp wanted middle name after his sister.

love Eliza Beatrice, nobody will notice it's the same as a minor sleb.

PineappleJuice · 21/02/2011 16:03

Thanks for all your opinions! It seems you all think I should just go and use it!For some reason though I'm just don't think I could. I love Clementine OliveMalay, I hadn't thought of it.

Which of these are best?(My new shortlist!)

Clementine Beatrice?
Clementine Eliza?
Eliza Clementine?
Clementine Olivia? (A middle name DH likes)

I love Eliza, my DS would have been Eliza Rose had he been a she.

mamatomany · 21/02/2011 16:10

Opps to late I also like Clementine alot too Grin
Go for Clementine Olivia keep DH sweet.

Capreece · 21/02/2011 16:15

Clementine Eliza sounds odd - just my twopence worth...

PineappleJuice · 21/02/2011 16:24

I really need to decide as DD is 5 weeks ! I really don't want to rush it and pick a name I might regret or am not sure about!

OliveMalay · 21/02/2011 17:27

From your most recent shortlist I like Clementine Beatrice best, closely followed by Clementine Olivia :)

KenDoddsDadsDog · 21/02/2011 17:29

Is it the sleb thing that's putting you off or were you not sure anyway?

happycamel · 21/02/2011 18:25

Am I the only one who has never heard of Natalie Cassidy?

If you're really worried then add an extra middle name.

KenDoddsDadsDog · 21/02/2011 18:37

Sonia from Eastenders.

flopsy1974 · 21/02/2011 18:42

i'd either stick with Eliza beatrice or go for Clementine beatrice. Both lovely names.

Rhubarbgarden · 21/02/2011 20:30

Eliza Clementine - if you really can't bear to have the same as Natalie Cassidy, but honestly, I agree with everyone else - who cares or knows what her baby is called? I'd stick with your original choice if you love it.

FebreezeYourJeans · 21/02/2011 20:47

DS2 would have been Eliza, I adore it. We would have had
Eliza Grace
or
Eliza Faith

PineappleJuice · 22/02/2011 19:55

OK, we have decided: Our DD is called...

Clementine Olivia!

tummytickler · 22/02/2011 20:01

ooops - sorry - Clementine Olivia is lovely!
