We just had a DD and think we're going to call her Laura.
However, we're struggling to think of a nice middle name to go with it. Unfortunately we don't like any relatives enough (alive or dead!) to have a name with personal significance, so we just want to find a name we like.
All suggestions gratefully received!

Was about to suggest Ashley and wondered why it sounded so familiar. Oops.

Congratulations on the birth of your DD - Laura is a lovely name.
