Trying to choose a girls name with restrictions!

[babynumber3eek]

We are desperately trying to find a girls name that we love but due to the size of our (blended) family we are struggling somewhat! We have a rather long 'short list' but nothing is really screaming at us - unlike when we chose our son's name 18 months ago (Hugo).

Names we like include Beatrice (but can't really have a B name as 2 of the children/step children start with B. We also like Hebe, Harriet and Hester but 'Hugo and H...' sounds a little naff to me! Clara is a front runner but our surname starts with a CL (bangs head on desk! ).

Other names we like are Tuppence, Persephone, Florence (might be a little popular for my liking) and Flora.

Can anyone help?!

Have a friend who has a Hugo and Harriet

We are expecting DC2 and if it's a boy will most likely go with Hugo. We already have a DD and she's Claudia - doesn't help you though as its another Cl start to a name.

Please do not use Tuppence.

Please not Tuppence.

Not Tuppence. My mother used that word to describe boy bits!!

Not Tuppence, got it...😂

Phew!

Glad Tuppence has been given the chop.

Clemence (It's a C name but not Cl so doesn't sound naff)
Constance (as above)
Cassia (yep, as above)
Lilith
Minerva
Seraphina
Artemisia

I think that Clemence does start with Cl.

Fenella
Abigail
Elizabeth
Henrietta (Hettie)
Irene
Susan
Anne
Annabelle
Penelope
Lucy (same central vowel sound as Hugo so they sound right together in my head)
Phoebe
Jane

I've had a trying day. That's my only excuse!

Tuppence Middleton is the actress who plays Pierre's unfaithful wife in BBCs War & Peace. I vote Clara

Google Tuppence Middleton - beautiful young British actress, currently the lead in the BBC's War & Peace. I kind of love it. Also liking Tuesday and January!
Otherwise Florence is great, but popular. Marguerite and Esme also fab. Clara Clarke (or similar) would be really nice!
