Sebastian, Max and Alice. We agreed on Alice for DD1 pretty quickly, the only other names we really considered were Isabelle and Imogen but both have since been used by family and a close friend.

I have looked at so many names that I feel I don’t really love any and my DH won’t talk about it anymore! There are lots of names that we both agree are ok and his argument is we can just choose one of those when the baby is born. We are also getting lots of opinions from everyone which is not helping!

Not bothered about whether it’s the same initial as one of my other children and middle name is likely to be Caroline / Carolyn (all my kids have family middle names) Any ideas?

Some of the girls names surrounding Alice in popularity are:

Sophie, Emilia, Maya, Penelope, Charlotte

My own feeling for something that would “fit” with the others

Eleanor, Sophie, Harriet, Louisa, Cecily

Lucy or Theodora

HaroldsSausageInCider · 09/01/2023 22:48

Caroline is lovely.

Do you say them in the order you have written?

If so

Sebastian, Max, Alice and Felicity

Hi, in your position I would try to at least create a shortlist of possibles to choose from. Ofc you are a busy mum but try to relax and enjoy doing it - and don’t discuss it with anyone apart from DH and only if he is being receptive. Just mention casually you are absolutely happy to choose your daughters name yourself. Choose a name which sounds nice - you will be saying it a lot. Lovely to have a middle name in mind. Remember to check how your favourite names work with the surname. I’m sure you will find a good name.

Patricia? A classic but not often used now.
Josephine - could be shortened to Josie.

Don't offer your shortlist to friends or family; you will get their unsolicited opinion.

Antonia Caroline, Georgiana Caroline, Sophie Caroline, Alexandra Caroline (so Sebastian, Max, Alice and Alex)
