Sister for Layla - help, don't like anything!

Her middle names are Evelyn Juliet.

I'd like it to 'go' and I think Phoebe does but DH has vetoed.

Most names in top 100 I'm a bit meh about. I like Marcella but again DH vetoed.

Argh!

Like Clara but I think Freya is too much like Layla maybe? And Rose is SILs name (sadly)

Thank you though!

I'm so fussy. Been looking all day and no joy. Thanks for the suggestions

Rosalie or Rosamund or Rosalind or Rosanna rather than Rose? A pretty nod to your relative...

Rodelinda, similarly.

Marianne, Marion, Marian, Maria, Marisa?

Michaela?

Nell? Eleanor, Elena, Helena?

Phillis? Philippa? Phillida, Philomel, Philomela, Philomena? Philomel means sweet/honey lover originally but also means nightingale.

Linnet, linnette, Llinos, the songbird linnet.

I'm slightly torn because most of the names you like are classics but Layla is more modern. List above is a mix

Amee1992x · 30/08/2017 20:01

Everly, Margot, Mila are on our list. Well it's definitely Margot or Mila for Twin B.

Middle names Genevieve & Ottilie incase you like them.

Other names we like but aren't using is Mairead, Cora, Nora, Edie, Verity, Spencer & Veda.

Thanks all. Keep them coming. I'm still struggling. Used up all my faves on DD1!

Like Everly but DH has vetoed anything slightly different. We both like Molly but a) It's my nickname for DD and b) it means 'bitter' apparently! 😂

Love Lois but can we have it with S surname? Eg Spencer? Don't think we can.

I know I'm asking a lot!

I also know a Leila and Megan subset if that's any help
