Help with girls names..

[jenbird]

My dh and I can't agree on a girls name. He does not like any of the names I like which are generally old fashioned traditional names such as:

Agnes
Iris
Constance

He thinks they are ugly! The only name he has come up with is Ophelia. I do like it but worry it's a bit "frilly" and can't imagine an adult with that name. The middle name will be either Anne or Isabella.

If we have a boy he will be Hamish.

Can you think of anything that might meet in the middle?

Thanks in advance x

I like Ophelia. There was one in my year at school (usually known as Phee) so she's an adult but I've never met a little one. Ophelia Anne is nice but Ophelia Isabella a little much!

I also like Iris. Iris Isabella is lovely imo.

Midway between 'granny-chic' and 'frilly' (both are types I like btw, I wasn't being insulting!). Hmmm, how about:

Anna Isabella
Alice Isabella
Arabella Anne
Astrid Isabella
Amelia Anne
Beatrice Anne
Charlotte Isabella
Cecilia Anne
Daisy Isabella
Elsie Isabella
Elodie Anne
Esme Isabella
Florence Isabella
Felicity Anne
Georgia Anne
Harriet Isabella
Imogen Anne
Julia Anne
Katherine Isabella
Lucy Isabella
Lily Anne
Matilda Anne
Miranda Anne
Maria Isabella
Natalia Anne
Olivia Anne
Philippa Anne
Rosa Isabella
Rowena Anne
Sophia Anne
Thea Isabella
Verity Anne
Zara Isabella

I like Ophelia. It's lovely.

Phoebe?

Hazel
Tamsin
Daisy
Cordelia
Nia
Eliza
Maeve
Ava
Josephine
Elsie
Maisy
Lilian
Orla
Maya
Dorothea
Esme
Florence

Oh Ophelia is lovely. Put it with our surname though and it becomes OBSCENE

Balls Vi ?

Not a million miles away, Gnocchi. (Literally)

Genevieve
Cordelia
Violet
Coralie
Celia
Alice
Flora
Antonia
Helena
Rosalind
Audrey
Millicent
Sylvia
Louisa
Jemima
Harriet
Dorothy
Frances
Josephine
Susannah
Mabel
Rosa
Honor
Lydia
Marianne
Arabella
Aurelia
Cecilia
Delphine
Felicity
Hester
Imogen
Isadora
Sybil
Rosemary
Theodora

Thanks for all your suggestions. I love some of them esp Audrey, Josephine, Mabel, Aurelia, Delphine, Hester, Isadora and Theodora... so lots really! Just got to convince DH.

Still not totally averse to Ophelia but worried about nn Phee as my SIL has just had a Phoebe who is already Pheebs (hence can't use Phoebe either!).

Thanks again

I love Ophelia but agree nn Phee wouldn't work with Pheebs. Aubrey? Cora? Ariella? Good luck! Girls names are so hard!
