Name for DC4 - What to call a girl when you have 3DDs already?

Pg with DC4, boy's name will be Eric Steven (family names), girl's name?? I haven't a clue.

DDs' are called Lilith Louise, Alethea Ivy (aka Thea) and Callia Seren.

We like Welsh names (family from there), Greek names (I just like Ancient Greek plays/poems), virtue names (DH & I have virtue names) and strong female/feminist names (hence Lilith!). Only one rule - first initial can't be A, C, J, L, T or V as we already have those as first initials.

Any ideas?

I know two sisters called Alethea and Eugenia. The latter goes by Gen/Jen, which suggests how she pronounces her name, but personally I like the nickname Genie. The only Genie I've met was christened Georgina.

I think something with a 'Mo' nickname would be sweet, since she would be the 'Mo' child. (Eenie, meenie, miney, mo...)

Matilda Mo

Oh, how exciting....Lilith, Alethea, Callia and ... Marthe ? (pron Marta)

or... Daphne,

I know someone whose middle name is Midwinter (because she was born mid-winter, and do love it)....

I like Selene but only like the Sel UH Nee pron. not Celine and I can't see me getting people to pron. it like that - ever!

Eris would be a good name though given my children's propensity for scrapping! DH likes it a lot and I love it!
