Am having a girl!

[loobylu3]

Have just had my 20 weeks scan which confirmed (much to my surprise) that we are having a girl.
We already have:

DD Maia (pn My-a)
DS Lucas

The girls names currently on my shortlist are:

Eliza
Cecily
Livia (this isn't just a contraction of Olivia but a name in its own right!)
Claudia
Matilda

What do you think of these?

We are looking for something that is not too popular. Although I tend to like traditional names DH prefers v unusual. He is also non British and of Asian descent so any Asian/ slightly multicultural suggestions welcomed or any more British ones too!

Many thx

Gosh- didn't know Scarlett was popular! I've never met anyone with this name. I thought it was a bit unusual. I guess different names are popular in different areas of the country but probably all the trends start in London and take a while to filter down hear!

loobyloo - all the scarletts I kow are under 2 so I think it will become very popular - I am oop north btw so maybe it is more popular up here

Thanks for that skidaddle!

Would be grateful for any more opinions if any body else has one!!

Thx

I too am oop north and only know of one little Scarlett. I think it's a gorgeous name. I couldn't see it getting overly popular I don't think. Hmm [adds to own list for DC3!]
If you're worried about popularity do a check on the stats for last year and year before . In fact if I've time I'll even do it for you and report back.

Thank you frazzle. Here is a link to the stats:

Scarlett is no. 39 so it is definitely more popular than the other names on my list anyway. Still like it though!

CONGRATULATIONS

You have reminded me of the joy and excitement i felt when we found out we were having a girl too. It's so lovely to know!

Blimey - can't believe it's that high up the list!
I still like it too.
Thanks for the link by the way.

Maybe more one for your DH and it may be odd (my view is affected by my lovely friend by the name) but Mauana is (so I'm told) Tahitian for Ocean.

I don't really like Cecily but I like all of you others. I don't think I would have a Maia and a Matilda though.
