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

Oh I love Juliet Alice. I may have to nick it Grin. Otherwise (seeing as we seem to have similar taste in names) how about Lydia, Annabel, Connie?

What about Alicia instead of Alice? Alicia Josephine sounds lovely, and avoids all of the Josie's and Jo's about.

Re: other names:

Grace
Leah
Isla
Susannah

DH suggested Annabel.
Thing is I generally don't like 'pretty' girly names! Although I get that the ones I have suggested might fall into that category.

Thought I would come back and update!
I always wish the OP would come back and say what name they chose.
DD is two weeks old now and named Bryony Alice Smile

So sorry OP, many congratulations on your baby girl 💐
Bryony is a lovely, underused name.

Josephine doesn't seem to be very common.

I love the name. It's on my list for when we start trying for DC2 (and if we have a 2nd child),

I love the name, I just really dislike the nickname Josie...

Alice is super cute, but I prefer Josephine.

I think Josephine Bryony would be fabulous:)

Congratulations, OP. 🎉🎉🎉🎉
