oopsadaisyme · 13/12/2013 17:31

My friends daughter (who's now 12) Is a Claudia Grace -

Was never sure about the 'Claudia', but I think 'Grace' is a beautiful middle name

Came across a Cornish Lauwenna yesterday. Means joy apparently- lovely! Not sure I've spelt it right though!

QuietNinjaTardis · 13/12/2013 18:01

Thanks ohtanmybum :-)

Theresadogonyourballs · 13/12/2013 18:04

We have an Eloise, other names we had on the list - Sophie, Delilah and Holly.
If we have another DD however, she will definitely be called Saoirse - love love love it, (no matter what DH says!) Wink

IHaveSeenMyHat · 13/12/2013 18:08

Ada.

Love Iris and Clementine.

Indith · 13/12/2013 18:12

Margaret Anne.

Arianne had always floated around our lists but never made it.

If I were to have another daughter she would be Miriam Alice. ds2 would have been that had he not had a penis Grin . But it will forever be my unused name Sad .

Megglevache · 13/12/2013 18:15

Queenie
Margarite
Noemi
Clementine
Aurora
Dorathea
Anone
Isadora
Magdalena

One of those we use as her nn...one of them I really wish I had dug my heels in and insisted. My dd is beautifully eccentric

JadziaSnax · 13/12/2013 18:15

DD is Sophie. I also liked Niamh or Eloise.

Theresadogonyourballs · 13/12/2013 18:16

Oh, and I also absolutely loved Rita, but DH was having none of it, he thought I'd taken leave of my senses. I think it's great, strong and feisty sounding. DH just said "Coronation Street"Grin

oopsadaisyme · 13/12/2013 20:04

Rita??? Really, love, with your DH, don't think we are there just yet, lol - xxxxx

LilyLilyLilyOiOiOi · 13/12/2013 20:37

Lily Arabella.
also liked Phoebe, Alice, Lottie, Victoria, Hattie and Saskia

ThurlHoHoHow · 13/12/2013 20:50

Ada is gorgeous. Like Edie, which I'd love to have for any future DD's, though DP wouldn't have it

Any future DD's will be Margaret nn Maggie or possibly Peggy.

Megglevache, what's Queenie short/ a nn for again? I quite like it!

MarEl · 16/12/2013 02:40

DD1 is Eleri Nia. I liked Chloe and Seren, but I let my sister name her.

DD2 is Marina Fae. I liked Beatrice (French version - Bayatrees) and Catrin (my dad's munter ex is called that though). I thought the name was cute because it's like water fairy! Grin

ThingsThatGoBumpInTheNight · 16/12/2013 02:45

I liked Isobel

Wanted something unique ish and different so went for Kira
Cue loads of people struggling to say it or pronounce it plus plenty of googling its meaning Blush
One person told me it meant 'killer' in Japanese and was some character in something called death note

I couldn't give a toss. I love it, it suits her Smile

Some lovely names here though

MarEl · 16/12/2013 02:46

I have a niece called Edith, which is shortened to Edie. She has a twin called Esme.

If I have another child, a boy would be called Llyr or a girl would be called Aeronwy. They both have a marine theme!

PeppaFuckingPig · 16/12/2013 02:57

I have a Bonnie Christina.

She suits her name.
