Please find my baby a name

[pottypit]

Baby no.5 is 5 wks old and still has no name We've sort of got a short list but I can't say she looks like any of them or that I love any of them but we're getting desperate. What do you think or any suggestions very welcome.
Louisa (don't like Lou)
Imogen
Harriet
Felicity

We're trying to avoid top 20 names and our surname is Clark which rules out my favourite name Clara

It's really odd choosing another person's name. Names are something we have, given by somebody else a lifetime ago. We introduce ourselves using them, they're the label we carry through our lives. Having to assign this to another person always comes with the feeling that nothing fits. Because how can you sum up a brand new wonderful life which you adore like nothing else. They should come with a tag really.

I think most parents end up calling their children 'baby boy' or 'spongebob' affectionately for the first 6 months as their name just doesn't seem right for a while. DS is 19wo today and when people ask his name I still think 'is that his name, how odd'. DD is 4 now and her name fits her perfectly but it took a long time.

ATruth, dd chose ds's name as we couldn't think of anything we agreed on.

Do you have a name for her yet?

I think Lara Clark sounds nice.

Can I also suggest Daniella as I think this is a pretty and under-used name.

Also I think it would be nice to have Belle as a middle name, as it has a story attached and can be a reminder of the early days when your older DC called her Tinkerbell!

Let us know what you choose in the end.

Imogen is lovely but the 3 I know get Immy so do you like that? Otherise how about...

Rosie
Isabella
Leonie
Leona
Hannah
Zoe
Eliza
Elsa
Phoebe
Athena
Joelle
Nicole
Violet

Rose would make a lovely middle name. A close relative is Ros and if I ever have another girl would have Rose as the middle name after her.
I like Caitlin Rose personally.

It would go really nicely with any of the names you have listed in your first message.
No offence, but not keen on Tinkerbell, and she might not be when she's older either. Maybe you could use it as a family nn for her though.

I don't know if you have decided yet but what about Maryam?

Lyra Clark?

Isn't it ShowofHands ?! I remember when we got DS' Social Security card in the mail when he was a few months old with SAMUEL ROBERT LASTNAME on it, all official-like. It was the first time where I thought "huh, that really is his name he's going to have forever." :)

Julia, Helena/Eleanor, Fleur, Emilia, Heidi, Heather, Alice. Rosa is lovely as already suggested.

From your list I love Felicity and would def choose for a DD if I didn't already have a Verity.

Rosie
Beatrice Rose
Grace
Verity
Anna

I find it really odd that people can not decide a name in the 9 months of pregnancy, but that is just me.

How about..........
Sarah-Jane Clark??
Lois Clark
Maria Clark
Maureen Clark
faye Clark
Sally Clark
Valerie Clark

how about Fionnuala?

Lyra
Marnie
Audrey

My friends daughter in law has just had a little girl and she is called Phillipa....I also like the names Dolly, Dulcie and Annie.

"I find it really odd that people can not decide a name in the 9 months of pregnancy, but that is just me."

It took us until after DS was born, we couldn't agree on a name - that's not hard to understand it is?!

(Anyway if you said that to me you can be sure I wouldn't pick one of your name suggestions!)

Bella
Marnie
Celeste
Audrey
Tatiana
Elizabeth
Stephanie

Kate Clark, Cecile Clark, Celia Clark, Camille Clark, Cassandria Clark, Cydney Clark.

Louisa

My Nan's name was Louisa-Rose and I always thought it was so pretty.

For a girl sometime I want Susannah Rose, with Annie Rose as a nn. So pretty, I think!

Where are you OP? Did you decide?

Felicity is very under used and my favourite.

She must have a name by now. OP said she was 5 weeks old when she posted a week ago so presumably she must have had to register her by now?

I'm sorry to say we still haven't got a name, regitration appt next week 9 days late
Still considering Harriet (not keen on nn's) Felicity (like nn Lissy ds has trouble with s's) Imogen (don't like nn's and wanted a less popular name)
Had to drop Louisa as a family member has used it.
Like Lara but it sounds a bit modern (Lara croft)
Like suzannah (but my sister has very similar name)
I like Agnes, Fleur, Elise Dh does not.
