I've been over this a 100 times and i can't figure it out. I also keep changing my mind which isn't helping Blush

We love DD's name as it's strong yet feminine whist being a bit different and not hugely popular. Not as easy second time around!!!

Grateful if you could help me pick a first and middle name. Smile too go with DD - Honor

Katherine aka Kit
Iona (IMO sounds too much like DD's name, mn?)
Charlotte (popular, but i do like it)
Davina
India
Claudia
Beatrice aka Bibi
Alice
Rose
Marina
Darcey (can't get past 'arse' in the middle)
Violet
Cosima
Serena

Beatrice
Violet
Katherine

If you like strong, traditional names, have you considered Tess or Miranda/Mathilda?

AnaisB · 16/10/2011 20:40

Love Claudia Rose and Claudia Violet.

Iona

ilovemydogandMrObama · 16/10/2011 20:45

alice rose is beautiful

birdofthenorth · 16/10/2011 21:08

Love Claudia Iona or Claudia Violet. Violet Iona is brilliant too.

Maternelle · 16/10/2011 21:18

I love Cosima.

Crumbletopping · 16/10/2011 22:06

I think Violet and Beatrice go nicely with Honor.

QueenVictoria42 · 17/10/2011 03:50

Claudia, Claudia, Claudia!

Etwinkles · 17/10/2011 04:07

Beatrice or Violet.

ImNotEvenWearingAHalloweenMask · 17/10/2011 04:17

I like Claudia and Serena. Both beautiful names.

My DD is Honor too Grin

minipie · 17/10/2011 10:40

I was going to say Serena hands down... and then you binned it!

HappyAsIAm · 17/10/2011 10:46

Claudia Rose. Definitely.

mollymole · 17/10/2011 10:52

Alice Rose

scarlettlips · 17/10/2011 14:31

BikeRunSki Really dislike Hope, DD was named after a family member.

mimipie Grin Grin

thrity I really like Mathilda, but it doesn't work with our surname. Not hugely keen on Tess or Miranda

Maternelle i would seem you and I are the only one's keen on Cosima!

I would seem Claudia is winning so to speak!!

Going to push for Iona as a middle name.

Beautrice Rose gets my vote. I like the two siblings not having two names with similar end sounds.

Beatrice Rose
Beatrice Katherine
Charlotte Iona

Rose Charlotte
India Katherine Rose
India Charlotte
Violet Charlotte - Quite a mountfull?

With Honor, I like Beatrice Rose best. Alice Rose and Claudia Rose are also good. What about Miranda?

ByTheWay1 · 18/10/2011 14:20

I like Alice Rose - or even Alicia Rose - would go nice with Honor

excitedLJ · 18/10/2011 14:21

I like claudia and Marina. If you like Rose then use it as a middle name with whatever other name you pick from the list, it works nicely with almost anything

PootlePosyPumpkin · 18/10/2011 14:50

Violet Iona Rose?

The Rose on the end seems to "soften" the sound a bit IYSWIM.
