Expecting dd3 in 10 weeks and the only name we have is Holly Elizabeth but our surname is Heart (without the E - don't want to be searchable!) so I'm just not sure about it.

Our other dd's are Katie and Erin. Sadly Erin
died shortly after she was born last year and I just never expected to be back in the position of choosing baby names and I'm stumped. We like names that aren't overly fussy and not too popular. All suggestions welcome! Smile

Ooh I like Laura - we'd thought of Lara but Lara is a mouthful with our surname. I love Zoe but dp doesn't. A friend just named her baby Isla which I do think is really pretty.

Holly and Elizabeth are both so beautiful.

Could you not just go with Elizabeth Holly instead of Holly Elizabeth ?

( Erin also v.v. beautiful name and my heartfelt sympathies)

Whatever I remember your threads about your dear Erin and I am so pleased for you that you are welcoming another beautiful daughter. This must be a poignant and special time for you.
I think with the surname you mention you can have a three syllable first name. Also one ending in a would go nicely with Katie
Why not Elizabeth to start with?
or Joanna
Celia
Aurora ( a new dawn?)
Cassandra
Emily
Sophie

Thank you so much so many great ideas. You are all right Erin is a gorgeous name - I think that's what I'm struggling with I don't like anything as much as that.

I do love Cara but wondered if it was a mouthful with our surname like Lara. I hadn't thought of Kiera I really like it but not sure if it's twee having a Katie and a Kiera. Can't really have Elizabeth as first name as someone else close to me is called that. Same with Victoria which I also love but can't use. I also like Robyn but dp not keen. Emily and Sophie are pretty as well but seem to be really common.

Very sorry to hear about your DD. Erin is a beautiful name. I love Holly and with your surname it sounds adorable; she'd need to be an actress with a name like that! I have odd taste in girls names (it comes from only having boys) but what about...

Iris
Cecily
Sophie
Isla
Matilda
Freya
Ella
Meredith
Jessica
Olivia
Esme
Lily
Ruby
Rosalie
