Hello!
Pregnant with no2. No1 is Araminta.
Need an equally frilly, unusual, English name for no2!
Also needs a good nickname as DH's family shorten everything!
Any suggestions?

Here's my list:
Pandora - almost name of DD1, no nickname put us off
Theodora
Eulalie (not sure on "Lalie" nickname, bit like popular Layla, Lola names)
Jessamine - too similar to my sister Jasmine's name
Pomeline - French and not French
Claudine -ditto
Melisanda -ditto

Want to avoid "A" names and "M" names (as nickname Minty for no1) as well as Rose names (I'm Roxanne).

Middle name will be ALICE.

Thanks very much!! :)

Or maybe OP's just changed their mind. I used to hate the name Esme because I thought it was twee, but now I love it. (I still hate the name Molly, but there we go.)

The OP's daughter was already born and named (look at her other posts) when she made those negative comments about the name Araminta.

Friend with Greek name "Paniyota" changed it because she was called "Frying Pan" at school. I'd be very careful of that one...

why have lots of messages been deleted , it was just getting interested and does OP not want to comment?

What a strange thread Hmm.

Whether a wind up or not, I really like Theodora (shortened to Thea) and Cassandra (shortended to Cassie).

Thanks for all of your suggestions... had decided on Theodora Posy but no 2 is a boy so back to the drawing board!
