Amielle ( ami elle). A girl in dd's class. Thought it was Amelie to start with but realised I'd read it wrong. Love Amelie but amielle even sweeter!

Reading through this thread shows how very subjective names are - and why you really can't give two hoots what other people think!

I love Ariadne

I once met a little girl called Elvira, and whilst in normally circs you might think Addams family, she was just the fabulous vibrant little person and in that moment it seemed like the most beautiful name ever.

DD is the more prosaic but user-friendly Nina, which is more pretty than beautiful, I think

Silvery thankyou. It's the maltese version of Katherine (dh is maltese) although the actual name is spelt Catienn but we preferred our spelling. Same pronunciation though.

Soleil (French for sun, pronounced So-LAY)

At the moment I really like Nova.
It means new, or in astrological terms its a star that suddenly burns brighter. And in American Indian it means 'Chases Buttrflies'
Not sure if OH will be keen but I love it!

Sophia is a beautiful name (I have a daughter called sophia as well babyblabber).

The amount of bloody people who call her sophia, though (completely different dull sounding name imo)

Call her Sophie, I meant to type.

I am looking through these and hunting for inspiration.

I have a Florence Amelie and a Gabriella Eve already - both names I think are fabulously pretty. I even like the way they look when typed Blush

But what to call DC3? Have you had any thoughts on all the suggestions, OP?

Oooh for the two ladies who said Meredith- I LOVE this name too!! It was on my list for a future DD but a year ago when I mentioned it to OH he wasnt keen, so we named our 8 month old Maine Coon Meredith instead LOL. She alwayys goes by Merry though as she honestly does not shut up purring, she is the most happy cat in the world! She started purring as soon as I picked her up and held her at her breeders house, and she hasnt shut up since!! Grin

Is it weird if I called a human baby Meredith when our fur baby is Merry? Its weird, right? Blush

I love girls names ending in 'a' and I think the letter 'L' flows beautifully.

I was christened Laura and changed my name when I was 10 (with my parents consent, obviously) to include the letter 'o'. I love names with 'o' in them and am considering Noah and Phoebe for DC's
