Help me decide! In hospital...

So I'm laying on the induction ward for the third day in a row, hoping that today will be the day that DD2 arrives! DD1 is Alice Robyn and we're still struggling to decide on a name for this little one. She will be taken straight to nicu due to health problems so we want to name her as soon as she's born.
Please help me!

Our favorites are..

Clara Willow - though we have some hesitance that the inlaw's suffolk accent might turn this into Clarrrrrrr!

Rose Amelie - but our double barreled surname starts with T-W, would she get RAT initials?!

Rose Matilda - though OH doesn't love this as much as Rose Amelie

Any other ideas or opinions? Feel like we're overthinking our choices as we pace the corridors!

I've always liked Tessa Wren.

Matilda Rose?
Carrie Willow?

Good luck, op Flowers

Alice and Clara go very nicely together, love both names. The only immediate choice you have to make is if she is a Clara or a Rose when she is born really.

Alice and Rose are also very pretty and as another poster said, Alice and Rosa would be gorgeous. Jeez I was actually no help there at all!!!

Clara Willow is lovely. Hope all goes well today!

To those who suggested Amelie Rose, she would have identical initials to her older sister, which I think is a bit much.

OyyVeyy · 04/10/2017 11:51

I think Amelie Rose sounds better.

OyyVeyy · 04/10/2017 11:52

Just read your last post OP - I very much doubt that anyone else apart from you would care / notice your kids initials.

OyyVeyy · 04/10/2017 11:53

Good luck with the birth & congratulations SmileFlowersWine

Clara Willow Flowers

DuggeeHugs · 04/10/2017 11:58

Definitely Clara Willow!
Good luck Smile

KalaLaka · 04/10/2017 11:58

All beautiful. I love Rose Amelie

thegirlupnorth · 04/10/2017 12:00

What about Amelie Rose then she has same initials as big sis?

Lemondrop99 · 04/10/2017 12:03

Clara Willow is lovely. I'd stick with that.

ElizaDontlittle · 04/10/2017 12:06

Lovely names - I hope she makes her entrance today!

I love Clara, but if you are worried it just won't work with the accent, Rose is lovely. Rosie is a cute nn if you wanted, and I don't think the RAT-W initials are that terrible, if Amèlie is your preference. It's not like using a middle name/initial is essential (tho I do for work now) I don't think it was ever on anything official at school.
Good luck Flowers

steppemum · 04/10/2017 12:06

Clara is lovely

Alica and Clara go well together

you could chose a middle name in a day or two?

Oly5 · 04/10/2017 12:11

Clara Willow is gorgeous!

I like Clara Willow :) Good luck!

Tempranillo · 04/10/2017 13:29

I wouldn't go for the same initials - that would be a nightmare for their post in the future. I hope she does well in NICU and you all get home soon. I like Clara.

alphajuliet123 · 04/10/2017 13:38

Rosa Willow

sidonie1 · 04/10/2017 15:58

Good luck! Clara Willow is absolutely beautiful.

auntym · 05/10/2017 12:20
