Timeless and elegant

Hello,

We now know our fourth is a little girl. :)

After Josephine, Iris and Theodore struggling to decide on a name. Confused

I’d like something timeless and elegant like I feel Josephine and Iris are. Classic but not too popular.

I like the following:

Florence - too popular?
Beatrice - too popular?
Eleanor - but rhymes too much with Theodore?
Alice - too close to Iris
Rose - a 2nd flower, really?
Harriet
Georgiana
Phoebe
Arabella
Elinor
Charlotte - too popular?
Ottilie

Welcoming other suggestions and feedback.

Thank you!!

You guessed right. Wink We are a bilingual English-French family. Grin

I like Isabelle in your list. Forgot about that one!!

I think Harriet goes best from your list. Otherwise Florence, I wouldn't worry about popularity.

Other suggestions:
Antonia
Claudia
Francesca
Matilda
Penelope

I feel like Charlotte fits with your other names really well. I do like Georgiana best though.

Well Isabelle it is then! Grin

Weird I guessed a French connection, I'm not usually good at that sort of thing. Congratulations and hope it all dues well.

I like Beatrice and Charlotte. I wouldn't say Charlotte is popular anymore particularly.

Florence - not a fan
Beatrice - pretty & not popular
Eleanor - Lovely
Alice - I do think a bit close
Rose - beautiful
Harriet - nice
Georgiana - classy
Phoebe - ok
Arabella - not a fan
Elinor - nice
Charlotte - pretty name and not ridiculously popular but more than your other choices
Ottilie pretty

Proseccofuelled · 25/05/2019 13:18

Other names I think are lovely that might appeal:
Camille
Adeline (French pronunciation beautiful although will get mixed up a lot)

Clara
Lucille

HollyBen · 25/05/2019 13:24

Eleanor, Elinor or Charlotte are my favourites from your list. My s7ggeztions would be Isabella (though it is really popular) and Emily
