But We can't find a name for her Sad

All previous short listed names are pretty much out.they don't suit her.

DP likes Nuala,I don't
I like Sylvie,DP doesn't

We need a short (2-3 syllable) name.
Siblings are Skye & Arlo.

I've searched every possible baby name site,read books had 100's of threads and still nothing Sad

Those are lovely sausage.

I like longer middles though.
The other two DC have 2 middles.
one long (2-3 syllables) and one short (1 syllable).

Something different...nature-y....flowery perhaps...

Florence? Iris? Daisy?

Congratulations Frig Smile (I was sure it was a boy!) Greta is lovely , and Greta Juniper Rose as suggested above is fabulous!

sausageandorangepickle · 10/12/2013 20:15

Didn't you like Clementine and Juniper before she arrived?, you could add those in...

Greta Clementine Maeve
Greta Juniper Wren etc

or Greta Sylvie Ruth
Greta Nuala Rae (that one doesn't work so well…)

From reading your previous few Smile name threads I know you like more unusual names, my personal choices are plain non frilly things, so not sure I can help too much Smile

Greta is lovely! Smile

Greta Evangeline

pygmy · 10/12/2013 20:32

I had suggested Greta to you a few times before! It's my favourite girl name ever!
Greta Mabel Ivy was my combo.

Greta Celestine
Greta Genevieve
Greta Hyacinth

HowAboutIo · 10/12/2013 20:33

I love Greta! but I think judging by your other DC you might also like Io.

TheDoctrineOfSanta · 10/12/2013 20:37

Callisto/a?

nosleeptilever · 10/12/2013 20:37

I had a great aunt Echo but my dh will never let me use that as a name. I love it and think it goes well with Skye and Arlo.

UpTheFRIGGinDuff · 10/12/2013 20:42

I know Pygmy I was looking through an old thread and found it Grin Thanks

(I can't use Rose,it's DD's 2nd MN)

I'm showing DP the others...but he's watching football so he isn't concentrating!

FunnysInLaJardin · 10/12/2013 20:43

or Hester nn Hetty? That was on my list. I had boys Angry

btw Greta nn Etty is fab too!

will you use a family name for a mn?

UpTheFRIGGinDuff · 10/12/2013 20:50

I love Hester,but DP doesn't,he vetoed it a while back. Meany.

She does suit Greta more though Grin

No family names,there are to many traditions and we could never satisfy everyone so we decided not to from the get go with DC1.

Congrats! You HAVE to use Greta, although I am very envious as I'll never get to use it Sad

I'm not in love with Greta if I'm being honest (but then I don't have to love it)

I think you had nicer options on your previous threads!

Flora Juniper was one of your previous options iirc, that was beyond AMAZING!

UpTheFRIGGinDuff · 10/12/2013 21:23

She just doesn't suit them Ditsy it's odd,but she just isn't any of the names we had picked out.

Greta seems right for her...I'm just hoping DP doesn't have another change of heart.
