Some early name thoughts

[Buglife]

Quite early to be thinking too much about this really :) I’m 11 weeks with DC2. I’ve barely been thinking of the end result (a baby!) yet at all with Christmas with DS (he’s 3) and as I’m planning to ask what sex the baby is at 20 week scan there’s no point planning 50% of names really! However... I’m starting to think of all the girl names I don’t get to think of last time, and why not throw some out there for opinions?! So far I’m fond of

Clara
Alice
Lucy
Clarissa
Serena
And I really like the simplicity of Jane, you don’t get it much these days either!

I have no boys names yet 😂

Of all those mentioned I like Lucy best. Rose is lovely and Serena is nice. Serena would've been a dreadful choice for my dd though as she's anything but!
It does sound like you want Jane though.
Cecily is nothing like your other ideas to my ear. It's so awkward!

❤️ Jane Clarissa.

I love the idea of Jane as a first name, it's so rare nowadays. My favourite middle names to go with it are Eleanor and Frances but I also like the suggestion of Charlotte. The only things I absolutely wouldn't pair it with are names that are kind of a cliché the other way round, with Jane as the middle name (Jane Sarah for example) as I think people would just misremember which way round they were supposed to be!

I love Jane.

Other simple, classic names that I like and to me have a similar kind of feel:
Claire
Caroline
Celia
Justine

Honor? Marina?

Clara - I don't like this.
Alice - sweet, not to my tastes but a perfectly nice name
Lucy - it's ok. Bit bland imo and fairly popular in my school.
Clarissa - no. Too fussy and flouncy. It could be nice as a middle name to honour said relative though.
Serena - I love this one.
Cecilia/Cecily - not for me
Hope - I like this a lot.
Sabine - this is lovely. Sabina?
Nina - great name
Marion - comes across as a bit middle aged to me.

And I loooove Jane, best one by a mile. It's so refreshing after the waves of Eva/Ava/Sophie/Milly/Molly etc names. Very refreshing, simple but beautiful.

As DH likes virtue names, would Amity work? Also I'd suggest Mary, Carmen, Hazel, Faith, Naomi.

Love Jane too. But all your names are great. Actually it looks like a list of my nieces!!
