Names like Clarissa and Frederica

[horatioisabrick]

I’m not pregnant. I’m just thinking about baby names / wondering what we’d call a 3rd child. Thanks.

I reckon any Jilly Cooper novel should give you ample inspiration.

Marissa, Clara

Cassandra
Clementine
Selina
Constance

Diana
Josephine
Belinda
Henrietta
Cordelia
Sophia (pronounced "suh-FYE-uh" in this case)
Zara
Penelope
Ursula
Angelica
Adela
Arabella
Wilhelmina

Frederica isn't even a dog's name!!

Cecilia, Sabrina, Selina, Ophelia

I've actually never read one of those, Love ;)
Marissa is nice but Clarissa and Marissa are a bit to similar...

I quite like Anna, Louisa and David but was simply curious what mumsnetters might come up with. Thank you for the suggestions :)

Octave, Araminta, Petra

Well download the first of the Rutshire chronicles on your kindle or get down the Oxfam bookshop immediately, OP. You are missing a treat!

Anna, Louisa and David are all fine names but far too normal.

Clarissa and Frederica are more in Arabella/Octavia/Cressida/Petronella territory if you ask me.

Love I might actually do that, thanks :)
"far too normal." Oops (We're currently not even thinking about having a 3rd child. This is just a bit of fun, btw.)

wish I love Cecilia but the meaning is a bit too... bleak.

What about Ophelia? Genevieve? Tabitha? Camilla?

Proper posh names.

Cecilia is lovely.

Henrietta
Josephine
Emmeline
Eleanora
Helena
Heloise
Francesca
Leona
Paloma
Seraphina
Ramona
Rowena
Theodora
Veronica
Wilhelmina

Henrietta goes with Clarissa & Frederica quite nicely.

Helena and Leona are lovely but we unfortunately couldn’t use them.

Veronica and Henrietta are fab, thanks :)

love we couldn’t pull off a name like Ophelia (imo) We’re a bit too boring for that. Cecilia is lovely and it is a family name. But Clarissa and Cecilia might be a bit too matchy... :(

What name would you suggest for a boy? I really like David.

Theodore
Rupert
Hugo
Sebastian
Benedict
Charles
Edmund

Lysander

Georgiana

love Benedict is nice. Maybe Louis?
