Thanks to everyone for their help with removing Tuppence from our names list earlier in the week 😂

We have narrowed choices down to -

Clara Florence Reona Cl...
Harriet Florence Reona Cl...
Persephone Florence Reona Cl...
Florence Persephone Reona Cl...

Florence and Reona are both family names, what are your opinions on these?

Oh I've just seen that your surname starts with Cl. Hmmm, not sure Clara would work in that case.

Reona is lovely. Not heard that before is it "Ray-oh-nar" or "ree- oh-nar"?

They all seem very loooooooong but I like the Persephone one best

Clara or Harriet for me, they are both lovely. Harriet feels slightly more timeless; Clara seems to be having a bit of a moment (DD was very nearly Clara, we only didn't use it because we were worried that it was about to surge in popularity. While it doesn't look all that popular in the name stats charts, I know 3 little Claras born in the last year).

I have an irrational dislike of Florence - I'm clearly in a minority.

Persephone wouldn't really be "useable" in the circles I move in - it would definitely cause some raised eyebrows. It's a fantastic name, but just a bit "much" for me. Maybe it wouldn't stand out so much where you are, though?

Ree-oh-na - my Nan's name! Yes, our surname is Cla...

Why is it so blooming difficult - if this baby was a boy we'd already chosen Felix as his name and loved lots of middle name combinations! Agghhhhh! !!
