A sister for Lucy....

[TigerFeet]

dd2 is due in September and I am sadly lacking in inspiration when it comes to names.

I would like her middle name to be a family name, possibly Margaret or Florence after MIL as dd's middle name came from my side.

Lucy was the only name we agreed on when dd was born. We like traditional names, with dh being more conservative than I am. We weren't aware of Lucy's popularity when she was born but tbh I think we would have used it anyway. Her name suits her very well I feel.

So, any ideas gratefully received

Alice Emily Delia

Sophie
Chloe
Jessica (DD1)
Rebecca (DD2)
Louise
Imogen
Rachel
Emma (DD3 if/when I have one!)

Alice - yes
Emily - already used by very close friend
Delia - not keen
Sophie - yes but dh scorned Sophia when an aquaintance used it recently
Chloe - I think dh likes but I am not sure
Jessica - can't use because of surname
Rebecca - hmm yes perhaps
Louise - prefer Louisa
Imogen - love but I think vetoed by dh last time
Rachel - hmm maybe
Emma - ooh yes, hadn't considered but I like!

i saw a band /singer called 'tigerfeet'advertised in my local dry cleaners, it's not you , is it??

Ella

Okay. Right.

Stella
Clara
Imogen
Nellie or Nell
Francesca
Celeste

Hortense
Farraday

Lulu you should hear me caterwaul sing, not the sort of thing I'd want to advertise

How interesting to hear the names of the sisters of existing Lucys

Clara - not sure
Anna - oh yes I do like Anna
Tabitha >
Martha > not sure dh would go for any of these
Kitty >

dd1 is Lucy Alice
dd2 is Isabel Rose
dd3 is Zoe Elizabeth

Martha's a lovely name I think.

Lockets just had a nosy look at your profile and your dh and ds are soooooo cute together

Stella - I had a violin teacher called Stella once. She used to wear nylon dresses in wonderous shades of lime green and chocolate. I just can't do it.

Nellie - I rather like Nell. DD's middle name is after my Gran, Ellen, who was known as Nellie. DH had a gran called Nellie too.

Francesca - yes a possibility. Will ask DH.

Hortense, Farraday - hahaha at dh's face if I suggest one of those...

I rather like Romilly but that's a no go with dh too. He is ultra conservative with names iirc.

I have a Lucy. If this one is a dd she may be Nancy or Helena.

ok then !

I like francesca,HTH !

stella is really good though because it means starry doesn't it, and lucy means light i presume?

we liked dulcie, maude, nell, polly, tess, rowan

any good?

my friend just had a heidi which is SO nice

Martha is nice isn't it I like Matilda too. DH wouldn't countenance either.

Isabel/Isobel - rather like this, not sure which spelling I'd go for though.

Alexandra - one of those names I like but wouldn't choose myself

Thea - not sure, I like but not enough to use

Saskia - used by a friend

Nancy - not keen

Oooh I love your names Fra. Someone have another baby.

Your dh might like Tessa?

Isobel. You would go for Isobel

Mabel
Constance
Patience
Emmaline
Effy

DH hated all of the girls names I came up with, but I really like the older names.

But Stella wore hideous dresses. Those dresses will stay with me until the day I die. I. Just. Can't.

I do like the idea of matching up meanings though

Rowan I love, but dh won't like it.

I like Polly too, but dh isn't keen on it and has ruled out Daisy, Poppy and so forth as well.

I wouldn't mind but when asked for ideas all he says is "I dunno"

I really like Elspeth, another dh veto I feel [sigh]

I like traditional names too.

How about

Isobel
Claudia
Sophie
Susannah
Olivia
Fleur
Georgina
Charlotte
Harriet?
