i'm 20 weeks pregnant with dd2, and we absolutely love dd1's name so are struggling to find a name that grabs us equally for dd2 and also struggling to agree. we like quite unusual but not outlandish names. middle name will most likely be 'fleur' and our surname has 2 syllables beginning with f.

names we are currently considering, in no particular order:

elowen
mairi
seren (this is a left over from the list with dd1, but i know that it is no longer that unusual)
arwen (i am not as keen as dh on this)
ianthe (i love this but dh is vehemently vetoing)

open to suggestions in the same vane too Smile
thanks

Well i would LOVE to know what your dd's name is???? (please!) Grin

How about

Amara
Affia

I quite like Arwen and i've only ever come across Mhairi not Mairi and Vhairi before?

I have never come across Elowen or Ianthe before and these would both be 'outlandish' where i have lived. Our ds is Gabriel and the raised eyebrows we've had for that, so i am not sure i can really suggest anything in the smae vane - but Good Luck! They all look like 'unusual but pretty' names x

Does Fleur sound OK with your surname?

I like Fleur Seren tbh.

I love Seren and don't think it's too well known at the minute
