Help need a classic, not dull or not too popular girls name for DD2

[orangeone]

That's it really.

Found out we are having a 2nd girl yesterday. Our 1st DD is Anna Isabelle, both classic not too popular and family related names.

However really struggling with DD2 name. Like Rose/Rosa and Sophia but too popular. (I had a popular name in the 70s and hated being known with my surname). DH has suggested Doris (which is NOT happening!!!).

Any ideas oh wise MNnetters????

Thanks

Lucy, Sarah, Laura, Josephine, Katherine, Harriet, Charlotte, Alison, Jessica

Haven't heard any babies round here called these and are all classics!

Elsa Alice Rose.

Elsie is lovely but there seem to be a lot of baby elsies around. Elsa is nice too but Elsa alice doesn't roll off the tongue very well because of the two A's.

how about Alice as a first name?

otherwise if dh likes Doris how about Dorothy or Dolores (nn Lola)?

or as you say after you have given birth you can just smile at him and say 'she looks just like an Eliza, doesn't she?'. it would be a hard hearted man who would turn you down.

I like Elsa but Elsie sounds more like a nickname to me.

What about Alice as a first name?

We have very similar criteria and I am 40 weeks tomorrow and we have finally decided on Victoria. I adore the name Anna.

Catriona

In my opinion Elsie Alice Rose flows a little better than Elsa Alice Rose, just because of the "a" sounds but if you are like me it is unlikely that you will use all her names at once on more than a handful of occasions.

Other derivatives of Elizabeth include:
Betty
Betsy (Betsy Alice Rose sounds nice)
Libby
Lisa

I hope you don't have a mega long labour, though.

I did think of having Alice as a first name but thought that would be too close to Anna?? both starting with A's

This is a nightmare!!

I would go with Alice.

Sorry didn't read your last post.
I personally think Elsie has become too popular so would vote for Elsa given your original criteria.

But agree with PP who suggested Alice as a first name. It's such a lovely name.

No Anna and Alice sound fine together.

I don't think it matters that they would both begin with A.

Anna and Alice sound fine together, better than Anna and Elsa IMO

Susan - very rare and cute nicknames like Suzie

Meredith, Edith, Kitty (short for Katharine), Esme

My fave name for a girl at present is Nancy.

DH likes Gabriella, Kitty, Lottie and Claudia.

Anna and Nancy sound nice.

Elspeth is pretty, and a version of Elizabeth too I think?

I LOVE Mary! I don't think more simple, classic names are dull at all, I think their beauty is in their simplicity.

Ellen
Alice
Ruth
Harriet
Kate
Martha
Juliet
Sarah
Imogen

If you have Elsa, you can use Elsie as a nn.

But no, Alice and Anna are fine.

Other Elizabeth diminutives

Lily
Beth
Bette
Elise

I too like Elspeth, esp if you are Scots.

Charlotte, Alice or Helen/Helena?

I'm an Anna Catharine and my DD is Flora Elisabeth Zoe. I think Flora goes well with Anna.

Rosamund
Roseanna
Rebecca
Alice
Henrietta
Georgina
Felicity
Cassandra
Frederica
Penelope
Petronella

What about Eleanor Alice ?
