Isabelle?

[Marcheline]

We are expecting DD2 - DD1 is called Aurelia, for a lovely, personal, romantic reason.

For this one, we both really like the name Isabelle. I don't love it like I love Aurelia (the name, not the DD!) but it seems to 'fit', IYKWIM.

I am worried that it is:
A) too popular?
B) not as special as DD1's name?
C) also the name of an ex GF of DH's. I am not bothered by this, but he is worried that it could be misconstrued by other people who knew them as a couple? I think she seemed like a fairly nice person and am unfussed, but it just seems unfortunate.

If you think we shouldn't go with Isabelle, any other suggestions? I love Juliette but a friend is calling her very long-awaited DD it and I couldn't use it.

Thanks!

Lorelei

I like Aurelia, so here are some other names I like (skipping ones like Claudia or Cordelia or Rowena which might be too similar):

Constance
Elinor
Vivien
Miranda
Callisto/a

What about Arianna or is that too similar to Aurelia? Marianna perhaps?

I really like:

Seren (have suggesed as DH's dad was Welsh, but it got a 'meh' response)
Jemima (have suggested, was shot down)
Lorelai
Callista (suggested, shot down)
Marcheline (natch!)
Mirabelle

And DH loved Natalia but I wasn't sure...

We should have stuck wth one DC!

But thanks for so many fab suggestions, feel a bit teary at the response from everyone (but that is pregnancy hormones).

Elisa?

Hmm...what about Christabel? (Or Christabelle or Christobel?).

The 'belle' ending does complement Aurelia. Another possibility is Rosabel.

Mirabelle is top of my list if I have another dd.

I think Aurelia and Isabella sound beautiful together

i immediately thought of Christabel. beautiful name.

what about

Valentina

Desiree - bit out there i know, but i think it's a lovely name

Giselle

Anastasia

Georgiana

Fabienne

Saskia

Soraya

Lucia

Marianne or Marianna

Aurelia is lovely. hope you find one you love as much.
