These are top contenders for DC2 - what do people think? We already have a DS called Jude. I want something unusual but not too out-there. The middle name will be Jane. Are there any other names I should be considering? Thanks!

All nice but Lara's my favourite.

Quenelle · 11/08/2011 13:56

I like Lara best. Also like Lana.

Rosa.

MammaInTheMaking · 11/08/2011 14:24

Love Rosa! It's on my list too :)

neolara · 11/08/2011 14:27

I have a Lara. I meet very few other Laras. Lovely name.

MelinaM · 11/08/2011 15:17

Lara is beautiful, love Cora tooSmile Rosa is nice enough but i fear it'll become 'Rosie' which is very 'on trend' at the mo!

IslaValargeone · 11/08/2011 15:18

Lara definitely.

Cora
Rosa
Lara...not so keen on Lara, due to horrid girl when I was at school [pulls a funny face, need to get over that] Blush Blush

birdofthenorth · 11/08/2011 15:34

Cora. Lovely. Live Jude btw.

Have you thought about

Clara
Cara
Orla?

MammaInTheMaking · 11/08/2011 16:19

or Lyra?

Ephiny · 11/08/2011 16:36

They're all lovely, must be hard to decide. Maybe think about which goes better with your surname? I think Lara would be my favourite, followed by Cora then Rosa. I like the sound of Lara Jane.

I love the longer forms too like Larissa, Corinna etc.

greycircles · 11/08/2011 16:39

Lara definitely.

ensure · 11/08/2011 16:41

Hmm, like them all. Write a list and stick a pin in it when blindfolded!

Beamur · 11/08/2011 16:46

Not sure about Cora but v much like the other two. I know one of each, Rosa doesn't get called Rosie either - it's very definitely Ros-a.

mathanxiety · 11/08/2011 17:24

Lara.

ChessPiece · 11/08/2011 18:11

Not keen on Cora, but love Rosa and Lara (also Clara).

Carrotsandcelery · 11/08/2011 18:15

I love Lara - and Lara Jane is a fantastic name.

My name is very similar to Cora and I find it a bit harsh sounding - I never enjoy telling people my name.

Rosa is very pretty but very popular just now. If you don't want her to share her name with three others the same or similar in her class I would vote for Lara.

Congratulations!

DisgustedofTumbridgeWells · 11/08/2011 18:19

Lara

LetThereBeRock · 11/08/2011 18:48

Cora then Rosa. I'm not fond of Lara.

Rhubarbgarden · 11/08/2011 18:52

Lara. I also like Lorna and Flora in the same vein.

MrsOzz · 11/08/2011 19:14

Cora is gorgeous! And out of the three I think Jude and Cora sound best together and of the same 'style.'

LiteraryMermaid · 11/08/2011 19:23

All nice, but marginally prefer Rosa to the others. Difficult choice!
