After a lot of discussion we've finally found two names we like - Etta and Daisy. Middle name will be Diana. We plan to pick the name when the baby is born.
If you like these two names what else do you like?
I'm just wondering if there is anything we've overlooked. We originally wanted a shortlist of three names, with the plan to choose from them when the baby was born.
Big brother's name starts with an R, so no R names. And surname starts with a D.

I love those!

One of those is my DD Wink

Annie is my favourite girls name ever!!! Has already been overruled unfortunately, along with Iris, which I also like.

If you went with Daisy she'd be Daisy Diana D---- ; are you sure you want that much alliteration (though, actually I think it sounds kind of cool).

I love Etta but not so keen on Daisy, though it's pretty enough.

I like a very wide range of names but the ones I think are most similar in style in Etta are:

Anya, Ayla, Aria, Amber, Amy, Alexa, Alessia, Aphra, Astrid, Asha, Bronte, Brodie, Cara, Ciara, Callie, Darcey, Effie, Enya, Erin, Eden, Farrah, Fallon, Giselle, Halle, Heidi, Harper, Iris, Isis, Jodi, Juliet, Kyah, Kayla, Katy, Livia, Lyra, Maia, Mila, Mala, Mina, Nia, Nyah, Naomi, Pippa, Piper, Sadie, Saskia, Thea, Taryn, Verity, Wren, Zia, Zara

Thanks so much - some good ideas here. Some of them I really love but my husband isn't keen on - he's already said no to flora, iris and Greta. Violet he suggested but I didn't want the initials VD. I guess I should be glad we have two we both like. Yes the DDD initials for daisy means a lot of alliteration - to be honest that's why I love it, and I'm worried its a bad reason to pick daisy, as she will be rarely be known by her full name - and might change her surname anyway if she gets married.
She's also going to be a dual US English citizen and we haven't decided where we will live yet - currently in LA but thinking of moving to London, so I've been looking at both countries naming trends. Daisy is unusual in the U.S. but not in the uk, not that it really matters. You can also get away with much wilder names here - we know a Lazor (boy), Feather (girl), Arrow (girl), and a set of boy/girl twins amazingly called Ocean and Country. We also know Colin, Brian and Dave, all aged under three.
Anyway, any other suggestions?
