Ok...here is my list. DH has already poo-poo'd a few of them but I thought I'd post the whole list to give you a 'flavour' of the kind of names I like.

Cherry
Clementine
Calista
Luna
Misty
Persephone
Ramona
Aisling
Allegra
Claudia
Stella
Reina

Not even got round to thinking of middle names yet but suggestions welcome for first &/or middle names very very welcome. Smile

Oh dear....there are just too many that I really like at the moment. I will have to have about 6 more DC to use all the names I love (or just this one with a million middle names).

Glad I've still got some time to go...can't remember with DD1 when we settled on her name exactly but I think it was more third trimester.

Thanks for all feedback/suggestions x

Cherry - don't like it at all
Clementine - not so keen
Calista - okay
Luna - not until harry potter is no longer popular
Misty - nope
Persephone - love it but I would imagine it would rarely get used in full
Ramona - not keen
Aisling - Quite like it
Allegra - okay, but I prefer Aurora (that I LOVE but wasn't allowed)
Claudia - don't like it
Stella - prefer Estelle
Reina - Nope

I also love Lucia

This is Reina. Charming fellow, but no, surely? Your DD will be nicknamed 'Pepe', for starters.

From your list I love Persephone (would have been DD name if she'd not turned out to be DS). Also like Allegra (nice meaning too) and as someone mentioned above, Aurora would be fabulous. Aurelia is also a good alternative (if DH had vetoed Persephone).

Rest are ok though don't like Misty/Aisling/Luna. Not v keen on Cherry .... too American or think of 'popped my' etc etc.

Ramona is my favourite and goes well with Melody.

Celandine for the bright yellow wildflower,especially good on strawberry blondes or redhead curlytops.Have never seen it ,except for many generations down my family.(maybe outing myself).

I know of a baby Aluna. Thought that was very pretty.

On your list I like Allegra, but as it's similar to a musical term (allegro) it might be a bit much to have Melody and Allegra!
