My DH and I have 2 daughters, we are now expecting a 3rd child rather unexpectedly and finding names impossible. Alot of the names we love have been used by other relatives or aren't useable. Our girls are -
Emma Felicity Jane Lloyd and Anna Eleanor May Lloyd.
Names we like and can't use are
Lucy (Lucy Lloyd seems a bit much)
Katie (niece)
Sophie (family friends child)
Beth
Alice
Lydia (Lydia Lloyd seems L, Y, D heavy)
We like but don't love Zara and Mary but we could use these (my mum is Mary but would be nice tribute and MILs name is one of the girls middle names already)

Sam (Nephew)
Liam
Daniel
William
Edward
Henry
Lucas
Oscar
Oliver
George
All unusable

We like Harry and James, potentially useable (in the family but not close)

Any ideas? We like more timeless, unlikely to date names and matching them with longer middle names which have good meaning then a family names, ideally the first name is no more than 5 letters, 2 syllables.
Any ideas?

I think
Mary Catherine Faye or Zara Catherine May are perfectly lovely but DH isn't convinced.
James Anthony George is lovely too in my opinion.

Amy seems to have a similar feel

AssertiveGertrude · 06/07/2023 12:12

I love your taste in names

Emma, Anna and Kate would be lovely but I see you have a niece Katie so perhaps go with Mary (we had Mary as an option) or Naomi ??

I came on to say Jane but already used as a second name..pity!
What about Jade? Helena? Poppa? Rosy? Willow
I am in lreland and know only two girls born in London this Summer. Both are called Ava..so it seems very popular.
For a boy Max? Will?

junebirthdaygirl · 06/07/2023 12:49

Should say Pippa

If you're only discounting Lucy and Lydia because of your surname, I actually think Lydia Lloyd sounds great.
