Desperately need help with girl list!

[luckylulu]

I'm pregnant with my first child, a girl. Husband and I have come up with some names we both like, but we're not completely set on them. We're looking for a good English name, uncommon but not unheard of, that's not hard to spell or understand. Middle names will be Rose Loveday.

Short list;

Cordelia
Jemima
Clementine

I would love it if you could come up with some other suggestions, and thoughts on these would be appreciated!

-Lulu

Don't like any of them, sorry.

Lucretia
Christabel
Portia
Miranda
Georgiana

OP - lovely, I was friends with a Cordelia.

Remus those names are awful! really pretentious. sorry! just my opinion :)

I love jemima

Congrats to you and your DH.
I'm not struck on any of these TBH, but Cordelia is the one out of these i would choose.
Other suggestions:

Camille/Camilla
Eloise
Julianna
Rowena
Winona

How on earth can a name that has existed for centuries be pretentious fgs - unless it's something like Prince Michael or King James? Was just trying to give names in a similar vein to those in the OP. I hate the name Portia for example but thought if the OP likes Cordelia then she may like it.

LOL. OP did ask for names that are 'not hard to spell'
I'm a primary school teacher.

Please. Just call your child Amy !!! ;)

Cordelia - Nope
Jemima - Love!
Clementine - like, but not wowed by.

Just a few to chuck into the mix:
Dorothy Rose Loveday
Florence Roase Loveday
Tabitha Rose Loveday (my favourite)
Hermione Rose Loveday
Beatrice Rose Loveday

All in a similar style to OPs choices

Tabitha Rose Loveday is FAB!!! Good call Madame

Love Hermione.

Marianne
Gwendolyn
Violet
Isolde
Yolanda
Lydia
Clover

As soon as I wrote it I though "hmmmm.......might have to have another girl"

I do hope the OP tells us what she eventually calls her DD. Even if it's nothing on here. I don't like it when you never find out and a year later think "I wonder what they chose"?

Love Cordelia, like Jemima and not keen on Clementine (really don't like Clem or Clemmy as nn).

Clara
Beatrice
Susannah
Edith
Agatha
Felicity

Louisa
Josephine
Anna
Juliet

I love all those names, in a similar vein:
Lydia
Tabitha
Grace
Antonia

My favorites are Violet, Lydia, Rowena, Hermione and Tabitha! I will run these by hubby...any more suggestions welcome! :)

I love Loveday! In the book A Little White Horse by Elizabeth Gouge there is a character called Loveday Minette.

Clementine is my favourite of your original three. Also like Violet and Tabitha.
Have you considered Celia? ( my DD). Or Silvia?

Vanessa? Thomasina? Philippa? Pamela?

Last word on this - meant to be working from home today!

Mabel
Hetty

I love Cordelia. Not Clementine - its so overused nowadays and Clemmy just sounds so much like 'Clammy'!

Tabitha
Emmeline
Hermionie
Helena
Georgiana
Violet (but too flowery with Rose?)
Elizabeth
Annabell
Marianne

I like Cordelia and Jemima but Clementine not so much and it would make for a long name to fit on the line on forms since she will have two other (very lovely btw middle names).

From other's suggestions I like Tabitha very much but am biased. And also like; Miranda, Beatrice and Florence.

Sensing a slight Shakespearean lean how about Rosalind?

May I also suggest Eleanor and Ursula?

my little girl's name is Thea (not like Tia but pronouncing the H) my second choice was Amelie which I still think is beautiful but Thea was always my first. It's a name which I think suits all ages. Also Isla is lovely.

Thea
Amelie
Isla
Poppy
Emily

Clementine, Violet, Lydia and Rowena are all lovely :)

May I propose a lovely "virtue" name that, unlike Grace, is rarely heard.

Mercy
good English name - check
uncommon but not unheard of - check
not hard to spell or understand - check

Mercy Rose Loveday

Cordelia
Camille/Camilla
Thea
Grace

Congratulations

Definitely Cordelia! Lovely shortened to Cordy too. It always strikes me as a name for beautiful people!
Clementine - I just don't get it. It seems huge on MN but I don't like it at all. Banana maybe?
Jemima Puddleduck is all I think of with Jemima.

I will consider Mercy. Only problem it is close to Marcy, which I detest.
[b]showmethehappyfeet[/b] I love your statement about Cordelia/beautiful people! I'll try out Cordy, a bit. Clementine just seems fun, and not too flouncy.
