Suggestions, please? Names similar to Penelope, Felicity...

[Psammead]

We have a Lucia.

Just found out it might be a girl (she wasn't sure, but it's all we've got to go on)

So far I like

Felicity
Penelope
Tabitha (cat, I know, but we are in Germany so less of a problem)
Gabrielle
Josephine

Any more of that ilk? Have tried Nymbler, too.

Elspeth
Miranda
Miriam

I love Penelope! :)

Amelia? Adelaide? Hannah?

I have no idea where those names came from...they just flew out of my head. :o

Felicity is also rather nice.

I like Penelope, I put it in the same bucket as Marion, Nancy, Audrey, Edith.

Oh, and Caroline.

Tabitha may be slightly problematic in Germany - none of my German family can manage "th".

Hermione?

I really like Felicity.

Ooo a girl, Psamme? lovely! I don't know yet, don't know if we will find out either, leaving it up to DH to decide.

Fenella
Persephone
Katrina
Do you like any of the Germanic names?
Gisela
Sabrina/Sabine

Just asked DH if he wants to know and he's said no - we'll leave it as a surprise again :)

Well, the cord was in the way so she really couldn't tell but said she sort of wavered more to girl than boy.

I am just so desparate to think of names that I will take that! DH wouldn't even consider thinking about them without knowing, so I told him that now he has to

The 'th' would be impossible, they would pronounce it as 'Ta-BEE-ta' but I can live with that difference.

Josephine would be more problematic as it would be yo-se-PHEE-neh. Not sure if I can live with that as it really is quite different. I'll have to let it grow on me.

Every second woman my age is named Sabine or Sabrina. It's a bit out of fashion for small babies now. Although it's very pretty.

Thanks for the suggestions!

Marianna, Seraphine, Arielle, Audrey, Clementine, Verity, Ariadne, Aurelie/lia, Valentine, Veronica, Rosalie, Pandora, Philomene, Prudence, Ottilie, Ophelia?

Juliet, Rosamond?

Arielle is very pretty.

Helena? Phyllida?

My cousin is Hesma - which is a totally beautifk name and I've never met another one.

Verity
Claudia

My DD2 is Felicity, the other two are Helena and Miranda.

Helena is lovely.

Hesma is unusual and nice, but is a bit similarish to the German word for ugly.

DP is German and we're thinking of Cecilia, Dorothea or Matilda for a girl.

I also like Beatrice, Matha or Liesel.

oops that should be Martha...

Do you think Beatrice works in Germany? I like it a lot, but not sure how well known it is here. Ditto Dorothea.

We've got one in school, its pronounced bey-a-trice and she is bey-a (spelled Bea) for short.

I love it but DP isn't keen.

Dorothea is a German name afaik, pronounced Doro-tay-a.

Cyrielle?

Thanks, cake.

Harriet, Imogen, Matilda, Rosamund, Gisela, Helena, Cecily or Amanda

I love Cecily, but its impossible in German. That's what made us go for Cecilia instead.

Sophia
Helena
Adelaide
Harriet
Marrianne

Your names are lovely. Tabitha especially.
