Hello all,
I'm 37+ 4 with my second baby. Sex unknown. It took us some time after DD1 was born to name her and I was keen to avoid that this time around but I'm still not happy with any of the names on our shortlist. DH is incredibly picky and it's been a frustrating process. I'd like a name that goes with the name of our first, which is Clara. We need both boys and girls names. I'm also quite picky, which doesn't help. Ideally, it'd have:
- a nice meaning
- a Latin origin, like Clara, though I appreciate that this may be tricky
- a different initial from C (though I could go for a C name if it were a boy, I just don't like the idea of two Miss C Bumps getting their mail confused)
- A different ending- no a endings please
- No er endings; conflicts with surname
- Not top twenty in the popularity stakes
- Not so common I'll have grown up with three of four of them. The more uncommon the better, really. I'd never met a Clara before I used the name (though it's shot up in popularity in the six years since!)
Hoping someone has some suggestions we've not thought of yet!
