girls names - drawing a blank!

[kipplin]

Hi there, We are expecting baby no2 in less than 4 weeks. We have quite a few boys names we like:
Samuel
Joshua
Charlie

But, we just can't settle on a girls name.DD1 is Isla Grace. We have been through a few names but seem to go off them after about a week!! Some of the names we have considered are Charlotte, Anna, Molly, Holly, Beth.... We love the name Alice and would have had that but a close friend has beaten us.

Do you know any Isla's? What are their siblings names?? Open to any suggestions...or we will have to go with DD suggestion of Caesar!! xx

Hi, we didn't have a name for our daughter until she was born. We just could not agree on anything and in the end the name just sort of turned up!

The names you have are lovely names.

Not helpful at all but I LOVE the name Sam

that's what my as yet non existent son will be called!

Alicia
Lisette
