Good Morning.... Thank you all for the lovely suggestions and replies... some lovely names mentioned.... i still cant decide, it was a busy day yesterday taking my older two children to their school summer fair...will sit down and think about it today although we have a busy day today.... she is currently being called "new baby" Im just gazing at her now and cant really think who she looks like.... Really appreciate the help.... wishing everyone a nice day x

How about Francesca?

My youngest didn't have a name for a week and a half, don't be rushed or bullied into a name too soon. :)

Hi Sara13

Maybe a few busy days where there no time to obsess over names will help clear your mind and something will just pop in to your thoughts. If not then to add to the thread I would say I'm personally not wild about Nancy. Of your own list I prefer Erica, Alexandra and Lydia.

I have a 'thing' about a ending girls names and as you seem to like them too (apols for any repeats) how about; Eliza, Tabitha, Anita, Ursula, Ramona. On our girls shortlist at the moment are also; Harriet, Isobel (though so ubiquitous these days it's still lovely) Meredith and Bryony. I also love Iris but we can't have this.

The Claudia we know has a sister called Imogen.

My sis in law took the full 6 weeks to decide on a name for their DD, it seemed like an age to all of us who were waiting at the time but looking back I hardly remember my niece ever being anything other than her name. Don't feel under pressure from those around you, it's none of their business really.

Best wishes.

congratulations!

What about alexandria culd shorten to Xandria, or Alexa.

Lydia and Erica are bothfantastix.

Nancy is not nice with Claudia.IMHO

What about Constance and call her Nancy for short.

I know exactly what you're going throught, didn't name DD until about a week after she was born, and even then felt pressured and rushed by everyone-i had no girl names as i thought i was having a boy. Anyway, don't feel any pressure and TAKE YOUR TIME! I was rushed and to this day still consider calling her by her middle name. So take all the time you need and go with your gut, don't listen to what anyone says, if you love Nancy, go with Nancy.
If I were to name my own child from your list I would go with Alexandra and call her Alexa or Lexie, but you shouldn't care what i or anyone else says! ':)

Forget your mums opinion - Nancy is gorgeous and sounds fabulous with Claudia (all my family vetoed the name we chose for ds - ut EVERYONE now loves it! Gabriel!!)

Claudia and Honor
Claudia and Susannah
Claudia and Martha
Claudia and Nina
Claudia and Felicity
Claudia and Gabriella
Claudia and Georgina
Claudia and Jasmine
Claudia and Madelaine
Claudia and Tabitha
Claudia and Sophie
Claudia and Lydia

Thanks for everyones comments..... still not decided, keep calling her Nancy and thinking no.... Then Alexandra... not sure about this.... my older two keep asking if weve named "it" yet... (like its a goldfish !!!) one wants Nancy one wants Alexandra... maybe she is neither of those names!!!
We are off to register her tomorrow ....DH thinks we need more of a spanish feel to the name .... hes not being very helpful.... What a dilemma.... ive never been good at decision making!!!
All your help has been appreciated

Oo, I love Lucia, that goes very well with Claudia. Claudia and Lucia. Likewise, Sofia. Good work VolAuVent!

Why do you need to register her so early? We didn't get around to it until DS was 4/5 weeks old!

Nancy is a fab name!

Anyway:
Delta
Zita
Vita
Romilly
Cecily

Congratulations :)

I like the names Emma and Chloe :)

If I had a girl tomorrow, I'd call her Calypso.

But what about putting the names you like in a hat, and pulling one out.

When whatever random name comes out, you may get a "moment of clarity" when you just know which name you want.

(I also love Sylvia.)

Ava
Amelie
Grace

Of your list, I think Erica would go beautifully with Claudia. We named our dd Felicity, which seems to be in the same vein as your list.

Congratulations!

Congratulations!

I really like Japanese-sounding names like Suki and Reiko.

I wanted to call our DD Juliet but DH vetoed it. We liked Rowan, but it doesn't go very well with our surname. We considered the Irish name Caoimhe (pronounced 'keeva') when I was pregnant a second time, but that turned out to be a boy :D

Seren..it's Welsh and means star. I have a Seren myself, as well as a Kymberley, Ashleigh and Ffion. :)

Anyone used to read Babysitters Club? Claudia had a sister called Janine

Claudia sounds french to me.

Fabienne - Estelle - Mona

Well my name is Alexandra Louisa and my sister's name is Nancy so I reckon you're on the right lines.. ;-)
Nancy is a FAB name

The Swedish Crown Princess just surprised everyone by naming her baby Estelle, so there will be a Queen Estelle one day. I'd go for it - it is a lovely name.
Lydia is too close to Claudia.

But don't let you Mum put you off Nancy if it is the one you love best.

Love Nancy. My mum didn't like ds name but tough!

Jessica?

I like Louisa & Lydia from your list.
