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 :)

What a cool thread! How about Pansy or Petunia?

CheeseTheDay · 10/05/2018 18:29

I would have used Mehetabel in a heartbeat, if (a) we didn't have ten letter surname, and er, rather more crucially, (b) DH would have ever agreed to it. Which he would never have done so.

I have a Cleo. Can't imagine anything else for her!

I also love
Rebel
Bluebelle
Belle
Raven
Aphrodite

Cecelia (can't say it without breaking into song though)
Anastasia
Tatiana
Alexandria
Thirdiana may have made this up

I tend to lean towards names ending in A Wink

Velvet - so sweet and utterly OTT but would work for youngest daughter !

mrssmooth · 10/05/2018 19:00

I would have loved one of my 3 dds to be called Ariadne, but dh wouldn't let me!

Ophelia is a fabulous name. Delilah is also fabulous (and happens to be my niece's name). Tallulah is also fab.

I know a Tallula Belle, known as Lula. Fabulous.

littlepooch · 10/05/2018 19:03

Oh wow! You lot are amazing. Even if we end up going for simple these suggestions are just wonderful! I absolutely adore some of the suggestions!!

Keep them coming! It's bringing out the uber glam hidden person inside me!! X

Arabella is my all time favourite but DH hates it. Also love Pandora and Delilah.

Hall456 · 10/05/2018 19:18

Persephone nn Persy- I wish I’d been brave enough!! Also Josephine nn Joey or Posey.

Romilly is another frilly name I like.

I love Paloma, Lorelai, Emerald and Persephone. DD came to us already named at the age of 5 by I was thinking today that if I had named her it would have been Paloma, or maybe Victoria if I had felt less brave.

yes! Velvet is one I had on my list too-its beautiful!

DespicableMeh · 10/05/2018 19:43

Two out of my three DD's names have been mentioned a few times - I didn't really think they were "out there" (but maybe I'm weird!).

FWIW - I love Salomè (with or without the accent). I've only ever met one (who was lovely), and wished I'd incorporated it somewhere in my girls' names.

grasspigeons · 10/05/2018 19:44

Hecate or Hepzibah or Sheherazade spring to mind

I like Cordelia which is more sensible or Giselle

Persephone, Percy for short. I love it but didn't discover it until after DD was born and then had DS1 and 2 so never got to use it.
