Combined list of mine and DH's favourite girl names

[swancourt]

Hi there, pregnant with DC3 (fingers crossed - am only 8+3). Have 2 DDs and between their first and middle names we've run out of everything we love/can agree on. If it's a girl this time we're stuck!

Here's the list of names that either I like or DH likes. There are only two that we both like, but in each case one of us is still a bit 'meh' about it. All the other names are either my names but DH doesn't like them, or his but I don't. What do you think?

Rose
Naomi
Tess
Felicity
Imogen
Harriet

Any other ideas? Any opinions?

Rose - nice name but too many of them
Naomi - interesting. Elegant rather than cutesie.
Tess - OK, nothing special
Felicity - too posh for me
Imogen - I don't like this name for some reason even though the rest of the world does!
Harriet - on the posh end of the scale but I like
the Jane Austen-ness of it

How about:
Susanna
Vivienne
Louisa
Juliet
Eleanor
Katherine

Not Noami, as its I moan, but the rest are lovely

Other names that spring to mind based on your list:
Nancy
Flora
Faith
Tesni

Are you willng to share your dds' names with us so we can have more of an idea of your preferences? (You could jumble up the order?)

I love Rose, as it is, on its own.

Love Vivienne and would consider for a middle name. Not quite brave enough to go there for a first name. Not averse to Nancy but don't think I'd choose it.

The I Moan thing - er, doesn't bother me.

Yes, my children are Alice and Isobel (argh - going to be outed, although they're not exactly the least common names in the world)
Middle names are Eleanor and Edith (totally outing self now)

What about Emily?

Our dc3 if they had been dd3 they would have been Naomi. Love it for all the dame reasons as your dh. But it was a boy! Now considering again if dc4 turns out to be dd3! I do also like Rose and Rosie. Naomi Rose is beautiful.

Naomi has more of a unique sound then the others but still normal. I only know one. She is at uni now and absolutely lovely.

Have you considered:
Florence
Philippa
Rowena
Verity

Naomi gets my vote!

All your current names begin with a vowel but the only one on your list that does is Imogen. I'm not an Imogen fan though.

Other vowel names in a similar style

Anna
Evelyn
Esme
Emilia
Amelie
Olivia

I like these:

Tabitha
Vivienne

Thanks everybody!

I have nothing against Emily sultana and I see why people would think it goes with our other names, but it feels a bit plain to me (don't mean to be offensive to all the other lovely Emilies out there who aren't plain in the slightest - I just think with our other two first names it makes the whole lot seem a bit uninventive in a way).

Have considered Florence but it's in the same (very lovely but not for me) camp of Harriet and Felicity for me. It's a category of names (in my head) that I like, but not quite enough.

Philippa, Verity, Rowena all feel much posher than Felicity to me! And much posher than our other names.

Totally know what you mean about the vowels. That's accidental/coincidental/weird though rather than a deliberate strategy (although I have thought we might have to go with another 'e' middle name now the other two have one!).

I think my favourite options are now:

Rose Abigail (because Abigail means 'bringer of joy' or 'father's joy')
Naomi Rose
Naomi Vivienne
Rose Felicity

Will take these to DH! He practically picked DD2's name so I reckon I get the swaying vote this time

Naomi Rose (although bear in mind that Rose as a middle name is the Louise of this generation) or Rose Felicity (lovely) for me. Rose Abigail doesn't scan IMO. Naomi Vivienne is quite cool but not keen on Vivienne.
