simply can't agree with OH. This is dd2, dd1 is sophie. (had no idea it was so popular - but still love it and it suits her perfectly). I feel OH should have more say as he didn't get much of a look in last time. Kathryn will be the middle name (family member) surname starts with L so lots of L names are out.
our short list is
Jessica (love Jess or Jessi), Francesca (both more his pref than mine) Anna (my pref). There's lots of others we like but don't agree on, and some maybes are Alexandra, Nina, Jo (not sure if nn for Josephine or Joanna).
We think she'll have strong features and personality wise up until today I would have said she seems quite an easy going happy soul, quite a twinkle in her eye. would like something kind of cool but not pretentious.
help!

hi just an update. We went for Anna in the end, my partner came up with the convincingly rational arguement that it sounded best with Dd1 (his first from previous marriage) and DD2, and that when I'd first suggested it (when I was about 5 months preg!) he didn't like it but it's grown on him and thinks dd3 can rock it out. It's odd because I'd discounted it as I thought he didn't like it and was trying to choose between Francesca and Nina. Well it only took us 5 WEEKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! to come up with that brain splittingly original name... omg. it's now very strange to actuallly be calling her a name, and I can't help keep saying - oh but such and such a name is lovely and I really like....

We even got a snotty letter from the registrar and only just managed to get an appointment on the 42nd day.

thanks for all your ideas and suggestions. Hope this one sticks and I don't keep considering more names!!
