Expecting DC3, have two DS, assumed this would be a boy as well, but no it's a girl.
Names we liked previously....
Alice
Juliet
Josephine
Bryony

Not sure about these now, although Alice will probably be a middle name.
Any suggestions? I find name websites difficult to browse, just lists of alphabetised names.
Thanks

Josephine Alice is lovely

PotatoBread · 02/08/2016 13:08

I prefer Alice as a first name as its my favourite from your list.

Alice Josephine?

noitsachicken · 02/08/2016 16:34

Thanks all.
I think Josephine Alice is my current favourite, but DH is not so sure.
Just trying to add to the list, but nothing is jumping out at me.
Although I do like Coralie, quite similar to my name though!

Congratulations!! How about Betsy, Chloe. Amelia, Isabella, Florabelle, Laleh, Yasmin, ? WineWine

noitsachicken · 04/08/2016 06:59

Thanks for all the suggestions.
It's such a responsibility naming a person.
It didn't seem so hard with the boys, but there are so l many girls names.
Plus the only girl (child) in the immediate family, so lots of pressure!

Lyra, I like that.
DH suggested Maddeline which has also gone on the list.

Alice Verity, Verity Alice. That's nice.

Have a look at nymbler.com - useful website, you can put in several names you quite like and it will suggest similar names. Bit American but still useful.

CodyKing · 04/08/2016 12:18

I like Alice over Josephine as a first name - too many Josephine's about alone with Josie and Joanna

What about

Clara
Jenna
Lydia
Cora

sycamore54321 · 04/08/2016 12:33

Josephine Alice sounds unbearably prim to me.

Have you thought about using Alison instead of Alice for a first name? I think it is much nicer and I would guess more unusual these days.

noitsachicken · 04/08/2016 16:50

Thanks.
I like Clara, and Verity.
Alice has family significance so really want to include it.
Are there lots of Josephine's? I don't know any, none in any of the toddler groups, preschool or locally that I know of, maybe a regional thing?

Do you think it sounds prim?
