I have gone off the chosen name. No joke. I am truly stuck.

No Dizzy now you have me thinking about my non-existent DD4's name

I know an Arianna and she is a lovely little thing

I love Elodie but DP hates it

I thought I would never find a name for DD3 but one just sort of jumped out at me nad fortunately DP loved it too as there was nothing we could agree on

Charlotte
Tilly

Marianne
Malia (hawaiian for Mary)
Josie

Tilly is lovely too I really like Matilda nn Tilly for DD3 DP said NO

dizzydixies · 29/01/2009 22:03

I'd pronounce it just as its typed

Ari-anna

dizzydixies · 29/01/2009 22:04

that'll be a no for tilly then!?!?!?

pgwithnumber3 · 29/01/2009 22:04

Ahh, I like it even more, I thought it was pronounced Ariahhhhna, Arianna is easier to say.

OP posts:
sweetkitty · 29/01/2009 22:05

Ari or Anna as nicknames

pgwithnumber3 · 29/01/2009 22:06

DH is sighing very loudly. He is not in the mood he said to discuss names and not sure if he likes Arianna. Wouldn't you think he would be jumping for joy at us still trying to find a name?!

OP posts:
dizzydixies · 29/01/2009 22:06

evelyn nn Evie
evangeline
Alexa
Lauren
Sorcha
Seren

pgwithnumber3 · 29/01/2009 22:07

Definitely a no for Tilly. Too twee for me.

dizzydixies · 29/01/2009 22:08

pgwithnumber3 don't take this the wrong way at all because am very fond of you but I only have to speak to you on here, I cannot imagine what your DH is going through at all

was it a no to
Violet?
Otillie ?

what about

Arden or Arwyn

sweetkitty · 29/01/2009 22:09

Odette

pgwithnumber3 · 29/01/2009 22:10

DD1 wants Evie. Don't like it.
Evangeline - okay.
Alexa - haven't we had this discussion re Lexie-Sue!?
Lauren - friend has it.
Sorcha - WTF!?
Seren - lovely Welsh name but we aren't welsh and mentioned it to DH a while ago and he doesn't like it.

We are fucked aren't we?

I bet you cannot wait for my birth announcement!

OP posts:
dizzydixies · 29/01/2009 22:10

Beatrice nn Bea is very pretty and has a lovely meaning too

Phoebe
Calliope
Clarissa
Clementine - I heart Clementine but DH said no

sweetkitty · 29/01/2009 22:12

I am dying for the birth announcement

You know you are joining the very select 3DDs club

Arianna is lovely

is Serena too sleb now?

sweetkitty · 29/01/2009 22:12

Calliope how do you pronounce it?

pgwithnumber3 · 29/01/2009 22:13

Violet - Parma
Otillie - Nah
Arden or Arwyn - not pretty at all
Odette - reminds me of someone who lives in the Deep South! (USA that is!)

I am being VERY temperamental today. We went to view a house for rent before, the poor Estate Agent couldn't wait to get away. You would have thought she was showing me around a doss house the way I was carrying on.

Dizzy - you are getting more and more bizarre!

I need to go and hibernate until the baby is born. I am slowly sinking into a fog.

dizzydixies · 29/01/2009 22:16

Arwyn is a lovely name meaning muse so at least one is pretty

Calliope is a strange one kitty it can be pronounced in two ways

Cal-i-o-pe

but I'm in the group of

Cali-opee
