Girls names to go with an unusual, no just bloody awkward surname.

Ok so DD2 (DC3) is due in January. DH and I are very indecisive and found out the sex with all of the DC's (among other reasons) so we would only have to think of one name as to have to pick two would prob mean killing eachother! As a result we don't have a list of leftover names from DD1 and have a bloody awkward surname to deal with. Its an old occupational/modern criminal name that begins with S and anything remotely unusual just sounds wrong or will leave DD open to an awful lot of playground stick. So it needs to be a proper name - other DC's are Caitlin and Keir. Any and all suggestions welcome as we well and truly stuck!

We have a very unusual and awkward surname too which has 'helped' us rule out many a nice name (darn it!!) so I know how you feel!!

How about:
Lauren
Bethan / Bethany
Chloe
Isobel
Kirsten
Louisa
Nicole
Rachel
Victoria
Zarah

We have a Ciar and our girls name choices were Kirsty or Mairi.

Why not just use your surname since you've kept it anyway? Seems like you can avoid giving them an unappealing surname!

Sorry the disappearance. Thanks for all the great suggestions they will certainly give us something to think on.

TAL - There was nearly WWIII with the in-laws when I kept my name, to actually have the temerity to give it to my daughter (even though DS will ensure the name lives on) would probably lead to them disowning DH altogether! (Which from my point of view would not be a completely bad thing but prob best avoided.)
