OTT totally fabulous girls name

We are expecting DD no 3 later this year and struggling to think of any names!

DH has declared since she is to be our last he wants to go out with a bang and come up with a completely over the top wonderful name.

So out of interest- what girls names can you think of that are a bit OTT. Or names that you would have loved to use but were too scared?

Disclaimer - I still want something pretty but simple so this is more to humour DH :)

I would love to call a DD Clementine, known as Clem or Clemmie. Don't think my DH would ever let it happen... Sad

Love Tallulah and Seraphina.

But I’d say that if your children are called Mary and Emily, or something equally run of the mill, it’ll look straight up bizarre to give the third an over the top, flamboyant name.
