We are expecting our fourth girl! We already have a Cecilia Juliet (who, as a teenager, refuses to be called Cecilia and only answers to Lia), and an Annabelle Matilda, who mostly gets Anna or Annie. We also have an adopted daughter named Emma Grace - we didn't name her as we adopted her at seven because we were her godparents, but I have always loved the name Emma.
Names we like but can't use:
Isobel - love this one, but it's far too similar to Annabelle!
Emily - too similar to Emma
Lucy - name of very close friends' daughter
Elizabeth - my sister's name!
We love Alice but does it go with her sisters' names? Is Annie and Alice too much? We also like Florence, but hate the nickname Flo, and as we've seen with our eldest, you can't control what nicknames children get or give themselves!
I love Charlotte, nn. Lottie - what do you think of this? Does it go with our other daughters' names? I don't like the nickname Charlie, but as a male very close to the family is named Charlie I doubt she'd ever be called that. However, it's not enough of a connection to warrant not naming her Charlotte at all. What do you think of Charlotte or Lottie?
Any input is much appreciated, and I would also love if you could suggest other names we may like!
