It seems like only last week I was here trying to name DC4, and you all had some amazing suggestions!

I am 33 weeks with DC5.

We have a DS and three DDs.

If a boy DC will probably be Ivan Stanley or George Stanley.

This baby was extremely unplanned - youngest is not quite 12 months, and we seem to have run out of girls names.

Possibilities include
Mabel (on shortlist when DD3 was born last year)
Imogen
Grace

All ideas welcome. DH and I must be the most indecisive people on the planet, and need all the help we can get! Grin

Go for Violet- who is going to know/care that it was 'used' before?

emmyloo2 · 04/09/2012 22:52

Ooo I love Mabel, also love Grace (dd2 second name) sorry I don't like Imogen. I also really like Agnes and think either.Mabel Agnes or Mabel Grace would b lovely.

My gorgeous six week DD is Daphne. Something different but not unknown and almost everyone does a double take and tells us it's a beautiful name. We also loved Violet though.

Pernickety · 05/09/2012 19:14

I know a 6 year old Mabel and I think it is a great name. I love your boy's choice too, Ivan Stanley. Great names.

I think Ida will become the new Ava (whoever suggested Ida)

Pernickety · 05/09/2012 19:16

Verity and Constance are lovely too. I wish I'd called my DD1 Verity.

TwoPeasOnePod · 05/09/2012 19:18

DD2 came home from nursery today insisting we call new baby Clara, after new best friend. Pointed out that she already had a sister called Clara, to which she said 'they can share'

So what are your thoughts on Clara1 and Clara2? Grin

Tess? Abigail?

Isadora again? :o I really really love that one...

parttimedomesticgoddess · 05/09/2012 22:48

Bethan?

Papyrus · 05/09/2012 22:51

I love Isadora too Yank. Do you think I could get away with it, already having a Clara?

CheerfulYank · 06/09/2012 01:58

Psammead · 06/09/2012 07:21

I love Rosemary.

Lancelottie · 06/09/2012 09:19

If you love Isadora, how about Theodora (or Dorothea)?

Myrtle
Polly
Lucy
Agatha
Betty
Jill
Janet
Susan
Mary

Biscuitsneeded · 06/09/2012 14:31

I think with your existing girls' names (all lovely btw) I would go for Martha, Sally, Nellie, Nancy or Mabel.

Biscuitsneeded · 06/09/2012 14:32

Oooh yes, Mary is lovely and I don't know why nobody uses it!

kweggie · 06/09/2012 14:48

Bronte

Indali · 06/09/2012 15:01

I like Imogen from your choices

Iris, Margot or Honor are all lovely too.

Papyrus · 06/09/2012 21:42

Right with much discussion with DH last night and pouring over this thread. This is our new shortlist.

Boy: George Stanley/Ivan Stanley - probably going to go with George.

Girl:
Mabel Agnes - still possibly my favourite
Grace Agnes
Isadora Agnes
Rosalind Agnes
Mary Agnes - DH's choice, I'm not sure
Clemency Agnes - If it was down to me I'd name a DD Clemency like a shot. But DH refuses to consider it.

Thanks for all your suggestions so far, its been really helpful Grin

CheerfulYank · 06/09/2012 22:04

Oooh, all lovely. I say George for a boy. :)

Mabel, Isadora, Mary, Rosalind and Clemency are ALL fabulous. Sorry, I'm of no help!
