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 :)

There is a girl in DC's class called Tallulah, just makes me think of Bugsy Malone every time I hear it Grin

Cleopatra - Cleo ( know 2 of them, one aged around 8 and the other around 20)

Please do remember that the poor kid has to live with the name forever and will never be able to buy anything with it's name on Grin

Ambrosia it means heavenly...

If you REALLY want to go OTT...

Tiger Lily 🤗

First one I could think of that I actually liked was Tallulah. Grin

Definitely Tallulah. I actually know an adult Tallulah and is fabulous, heart of gold and rather glamerous

Someone mentioned christabel on another thread I quite like that

thetriangleisarealinstrument · 10/05/2018 12:12

Iolanthe (Eye-oh-lan-thee) Fairy from a victorian operetta, also means Violet in Greek

Tristessa: got an absolute flaming for having that on my list!

Euphemia: means well spoken, also the name of Effie Gray

Luciana
Pandora
Athena
Kerensa
Georgiana
Jocasta

Growingboys · 10/05/2018 12:15

Nothing double-barrelled.

Assuming PP suggesting Prosecco was joking!

I think over the top names are a bit passe now, so if I had another daughter I'd call her Elizabeth.

Sorry, totally missing the point here.

Growingboys · 10/05/2018 12:15

Ooh yes I'd go for Christabel.

Pretty and not too ridiculous.

Saturn.

Trinity
Lauraya

Addison
Nevaeh
Blessing
Bryony

Augusta.
However do I keep in mind that if your other children are Olivia and Freya they could become quite resentful that their sister had a more exotic name.
