Alice goes best IMO with your other children's names

Adeline ,Maeve or Cressida .

Thanks for the suggestions! I'm liking these:
Cecily

I do like Alice but wonder if it is too similar to Eliza?
Keep them coming!

I wouldn't say it is. I have an Alice and Eliza is on the table for this bump.

Lots of lovely suggestions - DD is friends with a Cicily which is gorgeous, I also love Cecelia because I love the nn Cece (DD is Camilla but we call her Cece). Love Clover too (I obviously have a 'C' thing going on!!)

If you are bothered about the flow when you list all your DCs together I would say you either need a one syllable name or more than three. That is probably just my weird thing though... A friend of mine has four DC and all of their names have two syllables and I think it sounds odd! (of course I realise they are individuals and won't spend their whole lives being named together)

petitdonkey · 13/02/2013 13:48

oooh Gwennan, nice list!!! I love all but two on that!!

smother · 13/02/2013 13:53

which two don't you like petitdonkey ?

What about Josephine?

QueenOfMallory · 13/02/2013 15:57

Thanks everyone, fab list Gwennan!
Shortlist is now:
Beatrice(think I may prefer this as a middle name though?)
Cecily (not 100%)
Matilda (adore this, and the nn of Tilly, but DH not so sure)
Emmeline (an old favourite of mine, not 100% though)

Thanks for all the suggestions!

Agnes?

petitdonkey · 14/02/2013 10:38

smother I don't like Pearl at all (not to be rude to any mothers of gorgeous Pearls!) and could never make myself love Audrey despite the beautiful Hepburn connotations, I just think Coronation Street!!

Mallory Love your choices but, if it bothers you, there seem to be lots of Matildas and Tillys around these parts (SE). Beautiful names but very popular (and I say that as someone who has a daughter with a super popular name!)

Love all the names - think maybe jemima sits best with your other DCs. Alice is my fave (I have one) but definitely think it's somehow too similar to Alice

Jenniferturkington · 14/02/2013 20:43

Josephine

Grannylipstick · 14/02/2013 22:03

Absolutely love clementine
