Name for potential DD3?

27 replies

HandragsNGladbags · 30/01/2014 20:58

We have 2 DD's, Amelia and Claudia. I didn't notice they both ended with -ia until I was about 6 weeks post partum!

We need another name but many of the ones we agree on have already been taken by friends and family for example

Hannah
Rebecca
Sadie

I like Philippa (Pippa), Josephine (Josie), Phoebe, Verity and Madeleine

DH likes Eleanor. That's it.

We don't want something that ends -ia as it will sound matchy I think? But I am running out of ideas for DH who keeps saying we have ages.

We do, I'm only 27 weeks, but he does seem rather relaxed Smile

Any ideas on names I haven't thought of?

My favourite is Eleanor. But i like all of your suggestions, especially Madeleine.

Alice
Charlotte
Gabrielle

HandragsNGladbags · 30/01/2014 21:25

DH wont go for Madeleine because he says he can only associate it with Madeleine McCann. Which I think is bonkers.

I wanted Alice for DD1 but DH wouldn't be persuaded.
We have a Charlotte in the family but thank you.

I shan't tell him I have a vote for Eleanor just yet Wink

I like Madeline best of those ones but do understand the association. How about Gabriella, Heidi, Orla, Anya, Catherine, Sophie or Natasha?

HandragsNGladbags · 30/01/2014 21:44

DH doesn't like Meredith (which I love).

I had forgotten I had Catherine on my list too thank you!

What about Cecily?

Good luck! My DH was exactly the same, drove me wild Grin

Dilidali · 31/01/2014 07:17

Cecilia? She's the patron saint of musicians. Works well with your other DDs' names :)

Dilidali · 31/01/2014 07:18

I'm not religious, btw, I just happen to know.

ApplesAndStares · 31/01/2014 08:55

Leonie

YummyMummybee · 31/01/2014 09:39

ToffeeJungle · 31/01/2014 09:52

Rosa / Rosalie / Rosie / Rosamund / Rosalind
Coraline / Caroline / Carolyn
Jennifer
Jessica
Jemima
Juliette / Julia
Veronica
Constance
Felicity
Persephone
Isabella
Polly / Molly / Dolly
Arabella / Anabelle
Francesca
Georgina / Georgia / Georgiana

HandragsNGladbags · 31/01/2014 15:13

That's interesting about Cecelia, DH is a muso.

Really like Rachel, Violet, Leonora. We know a Matilada and a Martha so couldn't use them.

ToffeeJungle you have managed to list virtually every name me and DH have discussed for the last two DC. Were you there?! Grin

Love your girls names btw, they work beautifully together.

HandragsNGladbags · 31/01/2014 15:41

Thank you Carla that's a lovely thing to say Smile

MoonHare · 31/01/2014 16:34

I love Eleanor. Strong and elegant - you don't have to shorten it to Ellie.

Of your other names I like Verity best.

Pippa is OK but I had a childhood friend who's rabbit was called Pippa and I can't disassociate the name from that funny twitchy-nose way that rabbits breathe...but obviously that's just me!

Phoebe is OK as is Josie but Jospehine and Madeline are too longwinded and frilly imo.

Ursula, Thea, Anita, Lucy, Libby, Eliza, Esmé, Imogen, Erin, Lillian, Elsa???

HandragsNGladbags · 01/02/2014 08:31

Ursula is lovely! I'll put that on the list thank you

Rachel
Rebekah - ie a twist on a classic
Amy

Slavetominidictator · 01/02/2014 20:15

Hearing those two names together reminded me of hearing them together before....... Afraid it was Grant Bovey's daughters - the third one is called Lily. Any good? All lovely names though. Good luck.

Harmony?
