We have two girls already, and are struggling for a name for DC3 if a girl...

What do you think of these names? Any preferences? We're stuck.

Greta would be short for Marguerite.
Clemmie for Clementine, of course!
Violet as I love flower names.
Romilly - perhaps Lily for short.

Our possible middle names are Emmeline, Claudia and Ottilie.

Obviously Clementine Emmeline is one to avoid

DD1 one cries whenever we says the baby will have one of these names - she wants to call it Leaf Pie

I like Clementine and Violet but yes Violet is too close to Violene

Never come across Violene before

What about Clemmie short for Clemency?

Don't like Greta or Romilly. Still ambivalent about Violet - not sure it passes my "kick-ass corporate lawyer" test.

Violaine is a French girls name.

Just seen these replies! I started the thread in September, but I'm still pg and still undecided so this is great .

We're contemplating Iris or Edith now too:

Iris Emmeline
Edith (Edie) Emmeline

Baby arriving by CS on 20th Feb.
It may turn out to be a boy, mind.

Has anyone mentioned the famous Violet Beauregarde... Would put me off an otherwise lovely name tbh

I love Emmeline and Edith though

I like Violet.
Leaf pie is cute though!

WinkyWinkola · 30/01/2009 21:58

Violet or Romilly. Such pretty names.

But Leaf Pie is great too!

My DS wanted to call DD Wom Pom. He still calls her Wom Pom. So cute!

Greta is lovely, as is Clemantine. I thought of Greta a little too late for my LO.
Another which is of a simalar vain I think is Evangaline?? It's another of those names I keep seeing after the event and thinking hmmm if I had another baby(which I won't!)...
Mine are called Beth and Isla, which I LOVE, but would love another girlie
