After discarding the name I've been calling the bump (left over from last time) we can't agree on a name. DH likes Juliette. I don't! I suggested Nathalie, DH doesn't like it etc etc.

DH has suggested Catrine (spelled Catherine, but pronounced Catrine) which we both agreed is an "acceptable" name, but neither of us love. We have a bit of a language problem, DH is French native language so wants the French pronunciation and spelling. I'm British and am happy with the French pronunciation, but would rather it's written as it's spoken else she'll be forever being called by the wrong name by my side of the family. DH argues that as we don't live in the uK, we're better to use the local spelling i.e. the French spelling else she'll be forever having to correct people's spelling. The name also needs to work in German.

And now I'm asking myself if it's too close to the name Christine... Help! Thoughts, suggestions...

I have an English friend with a French husband living in Germany and they have 2 girls called Clara and Zoe. These seem to work well in all 3.
