All right mumsnetters go on then, suggest a name for DD3?

[sweetkitty]

Because I don't have a clue.

Here's the criteria:

• surname is one syllable (spp?) so need something a bit longer to go is possible 3 syllables

• DD1 is Abbie DD2 is Talia so ideally don't want A or T names

• don't want something really common so top 10 is out want something a bit unusual but not wacky and is still pretty and girly

Oh and I'm very fussy and DP and I can't agree on anything.

Yes Maya is lovely, can also be spelled Maia, I believe. So have you chosen yet, Sweetkitty and can we all come to the christening ?

sorry not got time to read through so don't know if any of these already suggested:

Caitlin
Florence
Elena
Sophia
Francesca
Clara
Ciara
Polly
Lydia
Emma
Isabell a
Matilda (tilly)
Rosa
Tace (v. old fashioned tho)
Ashleigh
Rebekah
Esther
Rowen
Rhianna
Kitty (Katherine)
Bethan
Frances
Sasha
Roseanna
Susannah

and another vote for Maya/Maia

Geraldine
Karina
Monica

Genevieve - friends can shorten to Jen jenny eve or evie. Name not used enough I think

No still not chosen

Maya is too close to my Mums name and as I don't like her will not be calling my DD after her, sorry is a lovely name though and know quite a few already.

Bethany is still the only maybe

Harriet
Matilda
Esme

Elodie is lovely. I like Sophia, Leah, Cicely (sissy)and Karis.

Julia

Nicolette/Nicoletta
Eleanor
Colette
Calista
Madeleine/ Maddie

Cecilia
Elizabeth
Talullah
Martha
Beatrice
Alexandra
Isabella
Jessamy
Miranda
Amelia
Corde lia

Been through every girls name registered in Scotland last year and theres nothing that catches my eye (a few that are though)

Celia, but beware of friends who say that a b & c sounds really nice. Those children will be by themselves one day.

I found it really irritating when people said oh Charles & Camilla sound really nice, when I was trying to name 'one' child. Why on earth people worry about how

Darth Vader & Chardonnay' sound together is totally & utterly over my head.

Agree scattybird wouldn't chose a name to "go" with another but don't want a name too close to other DDs name that would be too confusing for them.

Deanna
Eliza

Cercie? (sir-sea) I've only ever heard of one

Viola
Sylvia (or Sylvie)
Ursula
Stella
Lois

All of the above on our list tho' I think we are going for Pearl (we've got a long surname instead).

We have a 4-letter one-syllable surname beginning with R too, and I thought (and still think) Isabella sounded really nice with it, but DH didn't agree, so DD has a 2 syllable name, which I think sounds OK.

Suggested Isabella DP totally disliked

so far we have

Bethany
Elodie (me)
Kelsey (me)

Elodie has grown on me and how dare dh not like the name of my dd1?!?

To be fair he did say it was too exotic to go with his surname (it's always his blasted surname thats the problem).

I bet you are so hoping you have a boy girls names are SO hard when you already have two.

oh I don't mind either as dh and I do not agree on ANY sodding names and it has been a bone of contention both times!!!

we have what I would consider very much a first name as a surname which I hate too

For boys I really liked one name DP really liked another so it would have been a fight too.

We cannot agree either.

names in hat time girls!!

Either that or we will just go with DD1's suggestion Rosie which really doesn't go with our surname.
