Sister for James and Isabella

[hawkmcqueen]

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!

Avelina (I think I spelt it right, it pronounced Av-uh-Lee-na)
Celeste
Talia
Esmae
Romy

[HoneyandRum]

Georgina rather than Georgia.

Josephine

Jemina jumped straight at me

Kathleen is the first name that sprung to mind.

Jessica
Anabelle
Hannah
Louisa
Natalie
Rebecca
Sussanah is lovely but agree doesn't suit Catherine. Perhaps Catherine Susannah?
Charlotte
Amy

Olivia Katherine, she could be OK :)

I wouldn't choose Elizabeth as it's version of Isabella.
Beatrice gets my vote

Just wondered if you have decided?? I'm having our daughter tomorrow & we already have a daughter called Isabella but can't decide on a name for our baby - even now!... Love the name James too so we have similar taste - it's so hard to decide isn't it!

Florence or Flora

[Monkeyandanimal]

[Butterfly82]

What about savanna?

[hawkmcqueen]

Hiya so glad to see ideas still flowing as it's my due date today but baby staying put for now!!! So pinkglitter no we haven't made a decision yet! Please let me know what you decide, at this rate you will be meeting your DD before I do :-)

Felecity

Or Felicity (don't know what has happened my spelling today!)

[florascotia]

If you want Scottish, as earlier poster suggested, what about Fenella? Or Ailsa, Rowena, Davina?

Or how does an 'ss' sound go with your surname, such as Vanessa, Melissa, Clarissa etc?

[hawkmcqueen]

Well funnily enough my father was Scottish and my name is Davina so that's quite spooky florascotia! Unless you actually know me lol then it won't be such a surprise :-)

[florascotia]

No, I don't know you.
I mentioned Davina because it was my great-grandmothers name. She was actually christened Davidina (her father's name was David), but that's not easy to say, so she became known as Davina, instead.

I was just trying to follow the three-syllable rhythm of your DD's name 'Isabella' and thinking of Scottish names that matched. I think many other posters have done the same thing, by suggesting names such as Miranda or Susanna.

Best wishes for when the baby arrives.

Emma
Sarah
Louise/a
Danielle
Juliette

[florascotia]

Sorry - not got my counting hat on! Should have said 'multi-syllable' not 'three syllable'.....

[hawkmcqueen]

Thanks Florascotia :-) I didn't mean to offend, I didn't really think you knew me and I appreciate your suggestions :-)

[pinkglitter2]

Well if it helps I can offer you the names we have thought of but unfortunately we can't decide because there isn't a name that stands out like it did with Isabella... They are;

Eliza
Sophia
Sienna

All of the other names are 2 syllables - it's so hard isn't it especially horrible when the due date arrives (mine was yesterday) and we haven't settled on any name!

[Puddles1234]

Oo forgot to add that we like Isla which is Scottish but we think it may be too similar to Isabella even though it is pronounced differently.
