Timeless and elegant

[TIPosy]

Hello,

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

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

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!!

Florence - lovely
Beatrice - really doslike
Eleanor - I dont think it's so close on sound to Theodore that it would be a problem! Very pretty
Alice - my favourite name :)
Rose - not keen
Harriet - nice
Georgiana - not 100% keen but really like Georgina
Phoebe - really like
Arabella - bit much for me
Elinor - prefer eleanor
Charlotte - nice
Ottilie - really like

Genevieve
Aurelia
Ophelia
Adelaide

This might be a bit too much but if you like timeless and elegant names look back through the royal family' s family tree, theres some lovely names that the princesses have had throughout the last few centuries!

I don't feel that Iris is elegant at all, have known 3 and none of them were anything like elegant so am probably biased.

However, spell it Irys and it changes it somehow.
I like Florence.
Charlotte would become Lottie.

^^ That's a bit rude considering she said she already has a daughter called Iris, not that she was thinking about the name.

Florence used to be Flo or Flossie, don't know whether that is still the case.
I like Isabelle (although there are lots in the 1990s baby generation) and short names. Also Lydia and Irene.

Adeline/Adaline nn Ada
Evangeline

I like Georgiana from your list! For something with a more French feel how about Margot or Sophie?

I think the choices for your children are lovely. How about the following for you new addition?

Camille
Genevieve
Serena
Adrienne
Marina

Florence - lovely
Beatrice - lovely
Eleanor - too close
Alice - too close
Rose - lovely
Harriet - lovely
Georgiana - no
Phoebe - no
Arabella - reminds me of Trump...
Elinor - no
Charlotte - lovely
Ottilie - my favourite from your list

I like Georgina better that Georgiana. Georgina would be my choice I think, with the other three.

Others that come to mind:

Louise could work.

Not sure how that works unbelievable French.

I also love your first three children’s names

I’m not sure any of the names on your list are quite right for the reasons you suggest

What about:
Sophie (unless your Josephine is Josie, in which case too close)
Anna

I am loving Katherine as a classic and surprisingly underused name at the moment.

Also
Clementine
Madeleine
Louisa
Marianne
Cicely

Elizabeth

Marianne

Paisley
Betty
Know a lot of baby Beatrice at the moment
Grace
Sophia

I love Eleanore but it rhymes with theodore unfortunately.

Celine
Marci
Pearl
May

Alexandra, Cecile, Celine, Susannah
