We are expecting DD2 any day now and still need help! We still haven't been struck by the thunderbolt as we were with DD's name, but here is our shortlist:

In order of preference, what do you think of:

Cara
Susannah
Tabitha
Juliet

Or something else? Would be very grateful for all and any input! Our last name begins with H, two syllables. Middle names will be family names, either Daisy Ann or Louisa Ann.

These are some that I love but can't use: Alexandra, Alice, Georgina, Helena, Marina, Thea...

I like Tabitha best and Cara is ok, not so sure about the others (they are ok but not names i would choose).

FebreezeYourJeans · 19/03/2012 21:01

Juliet is gorgeous, understated & elegant.

PlayEatSleep · 19/03/2012 21:02

Cara and Juliet are both beautiful.

Kindling · 19/03/2012 21:04

I agree about Juliet. The thing is, i loathe Jools as a shortening :(

Cara and Juliet are both lovely.

Susannah is OK, dislike Tabitha.

rocket74 · 19/03/2012 21:32

Really like Juliet - classic and beautiful.
Don't like Tabitha - cats name and Cara seems lacking substance.
Susannah I like too.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 19/03/2012 21:36

Like Susannah but Susannah Louisa sounds a bit silly.

Don't like Tabitha.

StealthNinja · 19/03/2012 21:41

I love Juliet and Susannah. I also love Louisa as a first name if that's an option?

Suggesting

Eloise
Eleanor
Josephine
Anna
Alicia
Clara
Seren
Elsa

StarterForTen · 19/03/2012 21:42

Juliet is the best.

how about Erica?

babyblabber · 20/03/2012 08:38

i like juliet but it will end up as jules at some stage which is yuck.

love cara and it's irish for friend which is nice. a little friend for your DD1!

qwerty123 · 20/03/2012 23:10

Tabitha is my favourite from your list. As an alternative, do you like Beatrice?

BeckyBrandonNeeBloomwood · 20/03/2012 23:17

I love Juliet but much prefer the spelling Juliette personally. Nickname Julie as I also hate jools Smile

Stellan · 21/03/2012 10:52

I don't think you can go wrong with any of your choices although, if I had to list them in order of preference, I'd choose:

Susannah
Juliet
Tabitha
Cara

The others seem interesting and fresh to me (as I haven't met any!) but I know quite a few Caras. Not a bad name though!

TeddingtonsMarchingBand · 21/03/2012 11:04

i wouldn't worry about the nickname Jules for Juliet - it's my name and I'm never Jules or Julie. i am Ju to close friends but if I wanted to always be Juliet I would be, as I am at work and to most friends.

My 2 sisters are Susanna (she gets called Suzy) and Caroline (Caz) so all quite similar to your choices. Susanna's middle name is Louise too!

SoozyWoozy · 23/03/2012 09:57

Juliet Louisa would be my choice :)
