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 :)

My ‘go out with a bang’ name would have to be one of Calypso, Clementina or Loveday. Love all of them!

boymum9 · 10/05/2018 16:16

If we ever have a girl I've always wanted Clementine, managed to talk dh round!!

CoffeeOrSleep · 10/05/2018 16:19

I wanted Persephone for DD, DH couldn't get over the name means "to destroy" or "bringer of destruction"

would have been fucking perfect for our charming but clumsy girl

TatianaLarina · 10/05/2018 16:21

Rosalind and Eleanor are OTT? 😆

lightbulbneedschanging · 10/05/2018 16:23

Thomasina

Spartacunt · 10/05/2018 16:27

Tertia - ancient Roman name also meaning third.

GinThereDoneThat · 10/05/2018 16:28

Tallulah or Valentina are beautiful!

I also like Angelina and Isabella!

If you really want to go OTT, do 3-4 middle names Grin

JessyJames · 10/05/2018 16:29

I met a Mirabelle today. I think it's a very pretty name.

catinapoolofsunshine · 10/05/2018 16:30

Sassy306 · 10/05/2018 16:40

I have Esmeralda but we call her Esme :) I also loved Trinity but DH wasnt keen

catinapoolofsunshine · 10/05/2018 16:44

Names from Greek and Roman mythology seem to fit the bill to me. Libera, Ariadne, Artemis... Tallulah sounds like a stripper's stage name though...

catinapoolofsunshine · 10/05/2018 16:45

Oh Tatiana is good in this context too.
