Just been out with dh discussing name options for baby due next week.

We have settled on a boys name and backup but finding girls much harder - down to three.

They are:

Lara
Anna
Cordelia

Which would you pick? I'm a little worried Cordelia is a mouthful with our surname but dh is quite keen on it.

Any middle name suggestions welcome too!

Update - we have had her (yesterday) and we went for Anna Cordelia. Really pleased with it. We did sleep on veering away at the last minute to save Cordelia for a second baby but decided to go ahead and use it.

She is doing well, a little small and lirs to get used to for us but loving every minute. Lovely to have somewhere to discuss names during pregnancy.

Well done, and a gorgeous name. Hope all is well Flowers

Congrats Blackberry and welcome Anna Cordelia!

Vijac · 20/03/2014 08:42

Anna is best then Lara IMO. Cordelia is a bit of a mouthful.

emmyloo2 · 21/03/2014 07:38

Anna. Beautiful name. Don't like Cordelia - too hard and a mouthful.

Lara also nice but not as nice as Anna.

emmyloo2 · 21/03/2014 07:38

Oh yay - you chose Anna! Just saw that.

Excellent choice!
