randomimposter · 24/03/2011 12:18

With Amelie, from your list...
Iris by far.

Or Imogen/Clara/Eloise

morethanyoubargainfor · 24/03/2011 12:24

my vote goes for Iris as well, think Amelie and Iris go really well together.
I do however like all the names in your list.

NarcolepsyQueen · 24/03/2011 12:25

Sorry - should have said Maya rather than May (Mai is Amelie's middle name though). I like Rosa and Eloise. I would like something which isnt in the top 10 names, as dont want the child to be one of many in her year ideally. Thank you for your suggestions so far! I only have 5 weeks to go!!!

I love summer! DDs daddy vetod it but i think its beautiful :)

NarcolepsyQueen · 24/03/2011 12:32

I love summer too - just concerned in case it is a bit too common/popular?

pinkhebe · 24/03/2011 12:33

I like Violet.

NarcolepsyQueen · 24/03/2011 13:19

perhaps it is easier to get rid of some that are definite no-nos?

Hedwig3 · 24/03/2011 14:45

Awww, came on here thinking Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Mo were your choices Grin

I'd go for Eeny - very modern!

ragged · 24/03/2011 14:53

I vote Minnie :).
On your list, OP, I like Violet & Summer best. Kind of very opposite names, though.

NarcolepsyQueen · 24/03/2011 14:56

I am 5ft 10" and DP is 6ft 1", so I am unconvinced about eeny, meemy, miny or mo - could breach the Trades Descriptions Act! The little ones head is currently off the centile chart

OP posts:
NormanNorris · 24/03/2011 15:15

Iris followed by May

SerenaJoy · 24/03/2011 15:23

Dammit PurveyorOfWoo beat me to it... Was just about to say 'go with Eeny' Smile

I do like Rosa though.

Eglu · 24/03/2011 15:27

Thea and Tabitha are lovely.

I would love an Amelie, but have DN called Amelia

Does she lockets? Can I be cheeky and ask if she has a middle name?

NarcolepsyQueen · 24/03/2011 19:53

my DD1's middle name is Mai too Grin

I will have to try and pin DP down. Its such a responsibility isnt it?!

OP posts:
Bettyspencer · 24/03/2011 20:54

Love Violet and Rosa.

justonequestion · 24/03/2011 21:30

Lyra

Iris

Tabitha

in that order Smile

olddeuteronomy · 24/03/2011 21:50

I love Violet and Iris. Lyra is quite nice too.

Only one I really don't like is Summer - your others are all so much nicer. Also not madly keen on Thea (always looks a bit unfinished to me) or Eloise.

I think Iris goes best with Amelie.

brightcopperkettles · 25/03/2011 00:20

I know an Amelie with sister Saskia which sounds good together to my ears.

From your list I like Rosa and Thea best.

NarcolepsyQueen · 25/03/2011 08:14

Ok - narrowed it down!

Thea
Lyra
Leila
Violet
Iris
Rosa

Got to think of middle names / combinations too!

Thanks for all your help so far!
