Wow! you're all so quick! Write a message, do the school run, and then come home to so many suggestions, thank you!
Puppymonkey - I forgot to mention I'm trying to avoid names with same initial as existing DC as it gets confusing later in life sometimes. Madeleine cute though, will ask DH.
Nemo - Giselle to close to Genevieve. Love Victoria but perhaps too "normal" to match other DC..?
Lynette - glad to see someone else loves Ottilie! Delphine is cute. Makes me think of Oracle of Delphi, must look up what she was like...?
PinkFairy - this is confirming my suspicions that its hard to get over the connotations with Emmanuelle, thank you.
Tillys - Dorothea isn't something I'd have come up with alone, but actually my favourite writer is Dorothy Dunnett, it could be in honour of her! Not keen on Dotty though, and already have nephew and a godson called Theo, so Thea confusing. Perhaps you've come up with the middle name! Persephone is COOL but was she an evil Greek goddess or a good one? Classics not my strong suit... Another thing I'll have to wiki in a minute...
lastbox - Think Angie really cute, but is it a bit passe? Only hear it on 40-50 year olds mostly, or does that mean its due a revival? DH suggested Angel as nn but I think its a bit to twee, even for us! Glad someone other than me has known a nice Emmanuelle! I think you're right that Valentina works better as a middle name (Isabel Valentina is uber cute!). I think if I go for a V name it'll be Violet/te. Alexandra very popular at my DD's school (= bad). Aurora - is it a bit too Disney? Mind you, there has been a recent barbie called Genevieve! Managed to keep Gigi away from barbie until she saw her!
Bakersman - VERY helpful - saying exactly what I want to hear about Emmanuelle!! Have actually been playing around with -Bella names, and only one I could come up with that not very well used around here is Amabel/le. Is it pronounced to rhyme with Annabelle, and if so will we (and she) constantly be correcting people who will "hear" it as Annabelle?
IwishIwere - Violette 'goes' better - I think I agree with you. Not sure if Hetty pretty enough to match other nn's but your spelling of Hetti reads better, hmmmm.... Suggested Anastacia but DD1 vetoed as an ugly stepsister in Cinderella!
Wallace - how is Euphemia pronounced? Esmerelda doesn't grab me, don't know why.
Sleepyeyes - Seems to be most votes are for Ottilie. Aurelia is cute, actually, what would nn be?
Rindercella - I have always wanted to call a girl Miranda; The Tempest is my favourite Shakespeare play. DH hates it - he only knows it through SATC.
belgo - Seraphina is gorgeous, must pass that one past DH.
Thanks everyone so far! Loads of ideas and opinions!
