Only 5 weeks with DC3 but I want to think about names already. I have 2 boys, we have a boys name picked out but got a huge list of girls names.

If it is a girl her middle name will be Jean. Its my middle name, my mums, my nans etc etc so I would like to continue it. Surname is McCall(please no Davina suggestions [hgrin])

So here is the list.

Annabella/Anabella
Arabella
Amelie
Amber
Aurora
Beatrice
Cecilia
Daisy
Evelyn
Elsie
Felicity
Florence (Great nans name)
Hazel
Isabella(going off this now)
Lucille
Meredith
Noelle
Penelope
Rosalie
Serena
Serenity
Sierra
Sofia/Sophia
Vivienna
Viviana

See its a huge list, DP's favourite is Arabella and I am not really sure which is my favourite. I don't want something hugely popular which is why I have gone off Isabella as I know 3 that have been born in the last month.

Help please!!

Yeah I think we'd shorten Arabella to Bella if we shortened it at all. I have just gone off Annabella after realising people would call her Anna

Cecily or Daisy for me too. I thought someones suggestion of Poppy McCall was v cool too :)

Cecily or daisy here too - not so keen on the others in that list!

Cecily is just gorgeous! It is now my number one choice for my DD2 who will never happen

Really really lovely

Meredith McCall is an amazing name, cool and strong and pretty.

I would go with Cecily or Meredith from your revised list.

Arabella is just too princessy for me (but I do very much like Bella).
