Our baby girl is due in 3 weeks and we cannot agree a name. What do you think of these (her middle name will be Rhian):

Evanna
Ottilie
Darcey
Martha
Beatrix
Etta
Elin
Clara
Betsan

We're Welsh so there are a couple of Welsh names on our list - Thank you!

❤️ Evanna, never heard it before.
Also Etta and Elin.

MissJSays · 24/03/2017 19:05

I love Darcey (I prefer Darcy, though)
And Clara is nice too

Triathlonmummy · 24/03/2017 19:18

Thank you for your kind comments, it's narrowed the list down somewhat!

While I love Etta I'd point out that Etta Rhian sounds an awful lot like "non, je ne regr(ette rien)" by Edith Piaf, which might not bother you but I'm not sure I could take seriously Grin

Clara or Ottile

KarineAimee · 24/03/2017 22:51

Elin, Clara, Martha

crapfatbanana · 24/03/2017 23:00

Evanna or Elin

Ottilie or Martha go best with Rhian. Etta and Elin are lovely too thought.

Elbi · 24/03/2017 23:19

I'm glad someone else thought of the Edith Piaf song, I was berating myself for making weird connections. You have a really lovely list there OP but I would be careful (sadly) of both Evanna Rhian and Etta Rhian for fear she'll have the song sung at her... 'Non, d'Evanna Rhian... Non, je ne regrEtta Rhian...'

Sophronia · 24/03/2017 23:35

Evanna, Martha or Elin

Alyx80 · 24/03/2017 23:44

Etta

CakeRattleandRoll · 25/03/2017 01:20

Martha

Sunshineandlaughter · 25/03/2017 01:49

Ottilie

Sunshineandlaughter · 25/03/2017 01:52

Etta I'd be careful that you aren't calling her after a terrorist organisation - a bit like calling a girl isis!! If you like this name I'd go with Henrietta or Elizabetta and then shorter for s nickname in case they get more well known

Alisvolatpropiis · 25/03/2017 01:53

Another Welsh here!

I really like Elin, utterly loathe Betsan.

Sunshineandlaughter · 25/03/2017 01:54

Is betsan a cleaning product?!

Alisvolatpropiis · 25/03/2017 01:58

It's a Welsh name, Sunshine.

HelsinkiLights · 25/03/2017 02:13

I can't decide which is my favourite out of Beatrix, Elin or Ottilie.

Jooni · 25/03/2017 05:43

Ooh, lovely list! Smile

My favourites are Beatrix and Betsan, but I agree that Betsan Rhian doesn't flow that well (if it matters to you).

Also really like all the others, except Darcey and Ottilie.

KoalaDownUnder · 25/03/2017 05:44

Etta
Clara
Elin

Betsan is awful.

Kazzawazza69 · 25/03/2017 08:41

Darcey Rhian is lovely ❤
