doing my head in... hubs likes classic, pretty names. I like strong, little bit different boyish names. Never going to have it my way though!!

shortlist now wiped of Ruby, Holly, Amy, Brooke.

we used to love Elsie but surname ends "sie" and DD1 is Ella Rose.

help!!! inspire us!!

I always think of the meaning of names

Claudia means 'lame one'.

Fern
Myrtle
Mable
Stephanie


I met a woman called Alaska once, she was as cool as her name. It really suited her.

I was going to suggest Elodie aswell but I think it's too similar sounding with Ella. I don't think Eliza is too bad with Ella. Some others are Clara, Amelle, Rhian, Jodie, Josie, Caitlin, Jade, Hannah, Shona, Sadie, Taliah, Zoe.

Carmen is lovely btw to the pp who mentioned it
