Found out (wonderful surprise!) baby 4 is another girl. Thought we were done at 3 kids so used up all the remaining faves on DD3. DH and I are totally stuck on names. We currently have Eliza, Florence and Matilda, and some middle names/names we like but can't use for various reasons are:

Annie
Athena
Blythe
Clementine
Emmeline
Iris
Jemima
Louisa
Margot
Marnie
Violet

Would love your suggestions!!

I think Daphne goes so nicely with the other three

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 31/08/2022 20:49

My immediate thought on seeing the names of your other daughters would be Beatrice or Catherine.

I'd throw in Delia or Juliet as wild cards.

Mavis?

Sweet suffering Jehovah!

I'm trying to imagine my sisters being called Eliza, Florence and Matilda and me getting lumbered with the horror that is Mavis. I would smite my parents down (as soon as I was of toddling age) for that unforgivable crime.

Maireas · 31/08/2022 20:54

Open your mind, Miss Havisham!
A few years ago, folks sniggered at Matilda and Florence as old lady names....just saying...

MissHavishamsMouldyOldCake · 31/08/2022 21:06

True, @Maireas. But at least the sisters' names were old lady names with glamorous 19thc society belle vibes to them. Poor old Mavis has always been a drudge's name. But maybe that's the next trend and we'll be overrun with Mavises and Berthas! And Doreens.

It's cyclical, isn't it?
I never thought I'd teach a Mabel and an Elsie, but I do! I never thought there would be boys in yr7 called Wilfrid and Stanley, but there are!
Just look beyond it a bit......
My aunt was horrified when my cousin called her daughter Ruby, said it was a drudge's name!

I really like Ivy , one of my daughters has the same name as one of yours and it was top of my list if baby 3 had been a girl.

Love Clemency but we have a niece Clementine :(

Maireas - very true! I just cannot imagine having a baby Frances or Cecily for some reason! maybe I'll come around

I know a Frances who was Francie for years when she was young. Lovely name.
