DD2 called Olivia so Olympia not ideal for DD3 due Jan (although DD2 called Liv and Olympia would be Ollie)...can't seem to agree on any other names we like - have been discussing girls names on and off for a decade! Suggestions gratefully received!

What about Octavia?
We are having the same issue! We love Dd's name (Ariana FWIW) and now the only names we feel we love as much are very similar! (Aurélia, Artemis, Anastasia) etc...
It's getting annoying! Here's my baby girl list. I have a thread with most of them but have recently edited.

Excellent list chatty - thanks. We are on same wave length - have considered Imogen and Eleanor but long surname starting with N means very clear or stuttery (apologies for made up word) pronunciation.

Octavia is lovely but not sure about NNs...have lots of Aussie relatives who will shorten any name-'Tavvy'??

Thanks! We are Aussie living in London. I never really thought about shortened version of the name! Maybe 'Tay' or 'Taya'. Not sure if that's your style though...
I hate how our Aussie family pronounce Ariana's name (we say AR -EE-AR-NA
They say 'AH-REE-AH-NA' Hmm
You will always get people destroying your precious thought out names, from experience I just keep repeating her name as we say it and hope they will figure it out eventually-
Although pretty sure they do it deliberately because they think I have lost my Aussie twang (probably- and hope so!!)
