Imogen, Eliza, Claudia and...?

We've just found out we're expecting DD4! Complete surprise, as we weren't trying to conceive, but that's another story! Anyway, now we're completely stuck for names!

We already have an Imogen Charlotte, who's 16, an Eliza Juliet, who's 14, and a Claudia Eloise, who is 11. Ideally, we're looking for a girl's name to go with her sisters' names, but not be too matchy-matchy IYSWIM.

We like timeless, elegant names that aren't likely to date very badly, preferably classic but not too old-fashioned, while still being strong and feminine-sounding.

Any help would be much appreciated as we're completely at a loss!

And 'oh my' to your situation. I have a 16 & 13 yr old - I'd be quaking 😃

Snooping for inspiration, but also to offer up Evelyn, Eleanor and Violet - my current shortlist for DC2 due in a month.

Elizabeth doesn't work with an Eliza already on the scene, but how about Catherine (with a K if you want to avoid two of the same initial)?

Lara?

Just wanted to congratulate you and say you have great taste. I have a Claudia and my other DD is one of your DDs middle names.

Gabriella is my second DDs middle name and other names on the list we were considering were Lydia and Georgia.

Saskia would go perfectly. Imogen, Eliza, Claudia and Saskia.

Congrats!

My two suggestions would be Meredith or Sophia

I love Lucy, Madeleine, Genevieve, Ramona and anything Rose-related but unfortunately can't have any of them due to family reasons.

Annabelle, Cecilia and Lara are all lovely, but I'm not sure about Cecilia as I wouldn't like to have two daughters with the same initial. Sigh. Cecily is the perfect nickname, though.

A lot of suggestions for Gabriella... there's something about it that puts me off, but I'm not sure what. Perhaps it's the fact that my teenagers used to watch High School Musical almost every day for what felt like years on end, and when I hear Gabriella I think Vanessa Hudgens...

I quite like Florence, actually! I hadn't really considered it at all. All these suggestions are great! Please keep them coming! I'm currently in the process of thinking out loud and trying to form some sort of a shortlist. So far I'm loving Lara and Annabelle and a few of the others!

CremeEgg - ooh! Saskia is gorgeous! I'd forgotten all about it! I knew a Saskia long ago and she very much suited the name! You're right, it does seem to go with the other names! That's definitely a front runner now...
