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 love the name Anita. Not really "out there" but it doesn't go with my surname so I can't use it which makes me like it even more!

What about the name "Friend" ? I was thinking of it the other day. Don't know if it's ever used as a name... If you were called Friend then you would always be greeted in a nice way by people. Imagine everyone saying "Hi Friend" to you even if they didn't know you well :)

Ariadne.
I taught a kick-ass Ariadne in nursery. She was fabulous, it also lends itself to the v. cool nickname Ari.
