For DD2, to go with a three syllable surname that ends in an "ah" sound.

Names thanda love that end in an "ah" sound dreadful eg Callista, Adriana, Valentina.

So thoughts are:

Emmeline
Xanthe
Audrey
Evangeline

Don't like Josephine (work colleague) and Clementine doesn't sound right with the surname.

Or for something shortish to balance the surname:

Maude
Beatrice
Odile
Camille
Cecile

And now I've run out of inspiration. Help pretty please!!

Thanks BlueChampagne. I like Angeline, although "Angie" would worry me. I do prefer slightly more traditional/old fashioned English/French names - i suppose a bit more posh is what im saying - though. Yes, maybe I'm a bit pretentious but there you go.....

Any other ideas??

Oooh they're lovely! Adeline and Rosaline I like very much. I like Claudine too, but my father's name is Claude- which also makes Claudette feel a little weird

Caroline is the first name that sprung to mind. Carrie and Caro as nicknames then also sound like they would work with your surname.

I love delphine, also knew a French girl called Sandrine pronouncing the 'a' like 'or'.

Thanks everyone. I've also just thought of Ariadne (by "thought", I mean taking inspiration from someone else's thread). I think I might quite like it
