Due dates put me sometime around Christmas, so you'll see a theme below...

We are a bit on the hippyish-side with names, and with our first two children have gone for 'old fashioned main-stream first name followed by slightly 'out there' middle name' and then used the middle name as a family/pet name, and the grown up name for official stuff.

This is my list - my husbands suggestions are more unusual, he is very keen on Allegra/Elektra/Sukie, so do feel free to comment on those too Smile

Star
Lucy
Sophie
Saffron
Jessica
Harriet
Susan
Natalia
Winter

Thoughts? And extra suggestions? X

Elektra has such a horrible story behind it that it would have to be a no for me.

I like Winter a lot though and Snow for a middle name is gorgeous.

Any closer to deciding?

Mish85 · 16/11/2020 20:59

Aster would be a nice varient of Star, I love Aster.
Susanna nn Suki I think would be cute.
Tanzanite is one of the gems of December, you could play on this with something like Tamzin/Tamsin.

Love Jessica and Sophie. Popular but not in an overly trendy 1000s everywhere way, when I hear I always think “ah lovely” still have an individual ring to them but I like that both are upbeat, positive while still very feminine names.
