Aaargh! Please help us find a name! <pulls hair out>

[Marcheline]

DD2 is due on less than a week, and we don't have a name. We must have gone through every name in existence but are totally uninspired.

DD1 is called Aurelia.

Middle names will be Caroline Penelope.

We quite like Isabella but dont feel as though it's 'the one' like Aurelia was. May end up settling with it if we can't find anythig else, but that feels wrong.

I've had two other threads in baby names already and there were lots of great suggestions, but nothing that stuck. I don't are about a name being popular or different, just want to find the right one!

Other 'quite like' names are Claudia, Francesca, Harriet and Natalia. I don't feel like any of them are right.

Please help me!

Cecilia
Theodora (nn Thea or Dora)
Senara
Tatiana
Florence
Coralie
Cora
Liberty
Eliza
Flora
Clover
Peony

LOVE this kind of name, so feminine and pretty yet sophisticated at the same time!

Tatiana / Tatyana
Angelica
Lavinia

Cora is my new secret love name. It's not the sort of name that I'd normally go for but it's beautiful. That and Audra.

I love liberty but our surname ends in a y so it's out, unfortunately. DH liked it as well :(

I really love violet but someone said 'you only have to add one letter and you have violent' which completely ruined it for me.

Peony is just gorgeous, but again ends in a y. Something similar would be lovely. I toyed with lavender but thought it a bit too 'out there'

Another for Seraphina :) she could call herself Fin for short.

Eliza is very nice as well, I'll add it to the list.

Linnea
Jacinta

Diana
Athena,
Lavinia
Philippa,
Artemis,
Eugenie,
Octavia,
Cosima
Prudence
Leonora
Antonia
Ursula

Laeticia (nn Tish)
Pollyanna
Cassandra
Phoebe

Ruling out names ending in Y really narrows it down doesn't it! I have the opposite problem as names ending in the Y sound work best with our surname DD1 is Poppy). Lavender is lovely but could be shortened to Lav which is not so great! If you like flower or shrub names, what about Tulip? Such a gorgeous flower and yet never used as a name. Same goes for Snowdrop!!! Why is it that loads of flowers are used as names but not all?

What about Kinvara? I want it if babba due in 10 days time is another DD. We are thinking Hope Kinvara.

My DD is Violet. It's just such a beautiful name. Yes stick an n in and it spells Violent but I can honestly say noone has ever suggested it to me.

I'd really consider Tulip too but flower names could get a bit out of hand if I had lots of girls!

Seraphina is super pretty and goes with your DD. Lavinia also sprung out as pretty.

I was going to say Laeticia but see that someone has beaten me to it.

Just a thought, how about Marcheline?

Other ideas;

Phoebe
Gabriella
Genevieve
Lucia
Delphi
Dominique

Audrey & Aurelia sound good together ??

Leona
Aurora
Eliana
Edith
Aoife (ee-fa)

I like Verity, Felicity, Beatrice, Bryony, Stephanie.

Fabienne
Rosalind

Juney.

Zosima, shortened to Zosie.

Celene.

Cecily

I know a Felicita, it's quite unusual but pretty :-)

Perdita ?

This may sound like an odd suggestion, but here is a list of Emmerdale characters past & present, they've had some more unusual names over the years that you might like HERE

Good luck ... & remember, you don't need the name for a few weeks after she's born, she may just look like a 'xyz' after a few days when she stops looking so red and cross!!

Eloise

Ophelia
Ramona
Daphne
Juniper
Frida
Vita
Serena
Beatrix
Zia
Xanthe
Peony
Viola
Christabel
Arrabella
Orla
Nina
Vienna
Dulcie
Margot

Think I should stop now! Good luck :)

Has anyone suggested Celeste? Gives CC as her first two initials, nice nn.

Lilith? Hebe? Would love to be brave enough to name a child Biba (loves 60s names). Beulah?

Perdita Jilly Cooper

Aurelia is French so what about Amelie, Cecilia, Cecile?

I like Verity, Violet, Philippa, Clementine, Eliza, would go beautifully with Aurelia

Thank you everyone, some really lovely suggestions. I especially like all of the Greek names. Its funny, DD1 has two Latin-root names and it looks like DD2 will get two names with Greek meanings!
