Picking holes in every name...

[Goatgoestoplaygroup]

Dd2 is due in 3 weeks and we cannot find a name for her! Dd1 is Alice. This was always going to be her name and I love it. I like the following but find niggling little problems with each of them. Opinions or suggestions of other names gratefully received. Need first and middle name.

Anna ( will Frozen make it really popular?
Hannah (DH doesn't like it)
Olivia (too popular?)
Emma ( is it a bit blah?)
Eilidh ( too hard to spell?)
Annabel ( I prefer Anna but DH prefers this)
Elizabeth ( what nickname? Libby? Beth? Eliza?)
Matilda ( a bit "of the moment"?)
Orla (sounds a bit harsh?)
Anya ( same as Orla?)

Ooh Esther! I hadn't thought of it that one at all... Interesting, very interesting.

All the Alice's i know are very balanced and grounded. For that reason I'm going to put a similar name forward - Martha. Elinor is also quite similar with the nn Nell. Lastly if you like Bess, what about Tess short for Tessa/Theresa.

Alice and Tess

What about Charlotte ?
Nicole ?

All lovely names on your list!
How about
Bethany
Lauren
Eloise
Gabrielle
Stephanie
Zoe
Tessa
Thea

I really like Orla and do not think it is harsh at all.
