If I like these... what else might I like?

[ClaryIsTheBest]

DD is Clarissa.
Boy's name for DC2 are basically sorted but girl's names are... Idk. Very complicated imo. They are a minefield.

I like Gemma and Donata (probably sounds like donation in English, right?)

Millicent and Astreia are also names currently on our list (a very frank conversation with my mother has unfortunately depleted the previous list severely...)

Ah... Yes. Food obsession... It's currently clam chowder or curry I crave :0

What about Eliana? Seems to be known in the UK, is know in Italy (and therefore also Switzerland), doesn't even sound horrible (to my ears) with a French or a Swedish accent..?

Eliana is lovely. Just lovely.

Gabriella?

I like Eliana and Gabriella.
Think about nicknames - in the UK, Eliana is likely to be shortened to Ellie and Gabriella is likely to be Gaby (or could be Ella).

Thank you :)! I think it's lovely as well. Currently sharing rank nr.1 with Gemma :)

Bike It's a nice name. But the nickname Gaby is pretty meh imo. Thanks, name :)!

Yw!

FWIW I think Eliana is loads nicer than Gemma. Gemma was a very popular name for my generation (born mid-80s) so it has a reputation for being a bit dated and boring. I think Emma is much nicer tbh - also popular but more timeless imo. Anyway, Eliana is even better, plus it's Italian so probably more suitable for you and your DD (if baby is a DD!)

Some lovely names op what about Nina? Agree Eliana is much nicer than Gemma but that's a UK thing as it's quite dated here. Or
Lydia, Stella, estella, Anna, Alicia or Amalia?

I like Oriana, Alanna and Eliana

How about Odette or Ottilie? Too French sounding?

By the way I think the gesture for your cousin's name is lovely but understand why you consulted your mum on that one. Shame though as Natalia is a great name

name
I think Emma is currently crazy popular in Switzerland...

I do like Alicia. But I really dislike the sh/tsch sound that may be used depending on the language/accent.

minipie they were on my list :) but ottilie sounds so small and dainty compared to Clarissa...

Went through my old list (the one we had for Clary).
It's currently:

Gemma, Eliana, Louisa or Arielle...

I just think Clarrissa is fabulous (some obvioulsy dislike the name) but it makes it hard to find an other name that can live up to it.
