Felicity, Natasha, Harriet or Isobel? Those are the only 4 we can agree on. Older dd is Anna.

and middle name would be Diana after my dh late mum

Isobel definitely

FlatBottomedGirl · 08/06/2022 23:02

Isobel Diana sounds best IMO

apapuchi · 08/06/2022 23:05

Isobel is my favourite anyway, but 100% with Diana. It's so lovely, was my paternal GM's name, and while similar to Isabella is much less used and a breath of fresh air.

Sarah13xx · 08/06/2022 23:09

Harriet

DramaAlpaca · 08/06/2022 23:33

Harriet, for sure.

Itskindness · 08/06/2022 23:34

Anna is such a pretty name.

I quite like Isobel Diana

mydaughterisobel · 08/06/2022 23:42

My daughter is Isobel, so I'm very biased. She is 17 and although people say it's very popular she has always been the only one with that spelling in any schools she has been to. She also gets called Isobel, never shortened.

Isobel

Natasha is a lovely name but too many "a" sounds at the end means the names don't work well together

butterflyflutterby123 · 08/06/2022 23:55

Lovely names. Natasha sounds a bit matchy matchy with anna for me.

resm · 08/06/2022 23:56

Isobel is beautiful and goes perfectly with Anna. Isobel Diana has a lovely ring to it, I think. Timeless, classic yet sounds so refreshing to hear.

Anystarinthesky · 08/06/2022 23:59

I like Isobel Diana the best.

chchchchch · 09/06/2022 00:55

Natasha seems a bit dated, all the ones I know are in their 20s/30s.

There are so many Isabels / Isabelles / Isabellas out there it would put me off, however if you dont mind popularity Isobel is lovely.

I like Harriet but Felicity is my favourite.

BackToWhereItAllBegan · 09/06/2022 01:02

All lovely names but I don't think Natasha goes particularly well with Diana, I'd choose Isobel

Theoldwoman · 09/06/2022 04:34

Definitely Felicity.

KirstenBlest · 09/06/2022 07:29

Harriet, without doubt

Felicity too long, Natasha too 1980s, Isabel too popular and Harriet is great

MrsLargeEmbodied · 09/06/2022 07:31

i do like Felicity

KimWexlersPonyTail · 09/06/2022 07:34

Anna and Isabel has a great ring to it

MrsBertBibby · 09/06/2022 07:37

Harriet. Isobel close second best. Natasha sounds wrong with Diana (plus not keen). I really dislike Felicity, and Felicity Diana is quite a mouthful.

Fivebeanchilli · 09/06/2022 07:39

I love Anna.
Anna and
Felicity - I love this. It's a great name and goes well with Diana as a mn too.
Natasha - I'm not keen. It feels a bit 80s for me
Harriet - I really like this too but I'm not keen on Harry as a nn (I love Hattie). It goes really well with Diana as a mn
Isobel - I like the idea of Isobel and it's a nice name. But my daughter had so many in her class at primary school (literally 50% of the girls in her class were Isobel, Isabelle, Isabella) that I'm still bored of it (she's 20 now so I suspect it's less popular in reality)
They all go well with Anna but Felicity and Harriet are much nicer names imo.

Dinoteeth · 09/06/2022 07:42

Harriet or Isobel.
I don't like the others.

pilates · 09/06/2022 07:43

Harriet

PurBal · 09/06/2022 07:49

Felicity is my favourite from the list but Isobel definitely goes best with Anna and Diana.

Mumofgirls2017 · 09/06/2022 07:59

isobel

itsgettingweird · 09/06/2022 08:06

I love all those names.

Felicity and Isobel are my favourites to go with Anna and also Diana as the middle name.

HuntingoftheSnark · 09/06/2022 08:23

Definitely Isobel; lovely name and spelling, not as common as people seem to think (or at least not where I live) and goes beautifully with Anna.
