Sister for James and Isabella

Hi there, so had my 21 week scan today and it's a girl! I was CONVINCED it was a boy but it's not it's a girl (it's a girl!).

Okay so over the shock now... so here's the question, what is James' and Isabella's little sister called?
I need a name that isn't as popular as my first two choices, which is as lovely as Isabella (because I love it), can't have an 'r' in middle, such as Zara as surname begins with R and then it sounds a bit rarara.

Here's two of my contenders:
Georgia (has r in middle but isn't final consonant so works okay)
Poppy (cute but maybe not classic enough?)

DH likes:
Sophie (already taken)
Chloe (meh for me)
Emily (too popular) because he wants to call her Lemony!

Oh yeah and the surname is actually one syllable and begins with 'Ro' so like names that contain an 'o' but this is not completely necessary.

Help!

Annabelle
Matilda
Emilia
Sophia (too close to already taken?)
Daisy

My immediate thought was Catherine! A name beginning with C or K seems to fit.

Thanks lastnight I do really like Sophia, I would be pushing it though, my friend's daughter is called Sophie and my SIL's sister is Sophia. Damn.

I love all your names but it's just so annoying that my friends decided to use them! Lucy, Anna and Alice gone.

Do you guys like Susanna?

Love Susannah, though probably influenced by the fact that the 2 I have known are both beautiful. Also it's very sweet shortened to Susie.

Other suggestions:
Imogen
Rebecca
Miranda
Charlotte (nn Lottie)

Bizarre reading the title of your thread - Georgia and Sophie were the first 2 names that popped into my head spooky.

Love Georgia (I am totally biased though ;) )
But Harriet would also work well with the sibling names too

I like Susanna but not sure it goes well with Catherine.

Grace
Adele
Sylvie

NickNacks · 04/09/2013 21:46

DizzyPurple · 04/09/2013 21:48

Eloise ( but maybe too close to Isabella?)
Eleanor
Elodie

Weird they all start El I guess my brain thinks that would work..

Francesca.

Although I don't like Fran as a NN. But Franny is ok. Or Frankie, I suppose.
