Hi! Three months till baby and I'm completely stuck for girl's names.
Big hitch is our surname, which is one of those ridiciously posh, like laugh out loud, old english surnames- think Cholmondley or Beaufort, double barrel it and you're there. I would love to use a flouncy, unusual name like Arabella or Seraphina but saying the full name out loud sounds like a made up posh person name.On the other hand a "modern" or (sorry) "chavvy" name really doesn't fit. We still want to go with a long name, preferably one with potential for nicknames.
For boys I've got Jonathan and Frederick. Both outside the top 100 but still classic and recognisable, with lots of shortenings- I can't stand calling babies long names.
Ideas so far:
Catarina: Love nns Cara and Tara, but the most obvious would be Cat, which I can't stand
Rosemary: Nice, but a touch too old lady
Cordelia: Love, but bit too posh, and dh's ex-girlfriends name
Sorry it's so long!!
