Hi, our 2nd baby girl is due in 3 weeks and am still pondering a short list of names. DH and I have a little girl named Honey who is almost 4 and needless to say the style of names we like are a little unusual. I'm looking for something which will fit in nicely with Honey, I guess you could say cutesy, although I do like unusual classic names as well. Current short list is as follows - grateful for the Mumsnet view! !

Bluebell
Blossom
Arabella
Perla
Angelica (angel as nickname?)
Peony (like this - DH doesn't!)
Lola

Suggestions and opinions please!

I adore Bluebell, we both do but have read quite a few views on the name on old mumsnet discussions and other websites and its usually shot down in flames....

Willow

Lola was on my list but then I got put off by eastenders and decided I liked Lila/Lyla instead (but oh said no)

Arabella is lovely but I dislike bella which it would likely be shortened too

Kyrptonite · 26/08/2013 09:32

Bluebell is lovely with Honey.

chattychattyboomba · 26/08/2013 09:33

Honey is a beautiful name!
Love bluebell and blossom... DH would HATE these suggestions but he's boring hehe
Loved the Meadow suggestion... Willow?
How about Coco, Rosie, Amber, Flora, Daisy, Faune, Honoré?

What about Summer

TallulahBetty · 26/08/2013 09:39

Blossom from your list.

How about Holly?

MichaelBubleBath · 26/08/2013 09:43

Bluebell - not keen not because of geri halliwell,oh no
Blossom - yep but honey and blossom sounds bit contrived
Arabella - dislike though i adored mortimer the raven
Perla - quite nice but makes me think of jeans
Angelica (angel as nickname?) angel as nn gets my vote as then both kids have endearments but not a rugrat name - much prefer Evangeline (Angelina = ballerina or ms Jolie)
Peony (like this - DH doesn't!) me neither, prefer Poppy or Petal am not Jules Oliver
Lola - like

Halle?
