I have a Charlie so would prefer to avoid an 'ee' sound at the end, but am flexible.
Baby will have a surname begining with R, quite long.

Names we have currently;
Darcy (DP's fave)
Phoebe
Ella

no Ellas/ Evas (so 2005) and a definite no to Lola.

Honor is my absolute favourite girls name. I think it's beautiful. But DH vetoed it as said would be a burden to live up to! I think Faith and Hope are lovely too, maybe avoid Charity and Chastity tho... .
Have met a couple of little Darcys recently - very pretty name. How about
Rose
Amber
Elizabeth (good one for shortening in various ways as she grows up - likewise Catherine)
Rowan
umm...

Thanks all - great replies!
I really like Hope and Faith.
I like Dulcie too - seeing others with Charlie's and other 'ee' ending names maybe I should broaden my search...
Imogen is nice, and Alice!
Yay - now have loads!
Am due Jan so have loads of time (fingers crossed - scan next week) but it's taking my mind off the sickness!! No idea what we'll call a boy actually!!

Hi all

I have 2 girls and 2 boys - I went with my heart with the names for my girls. I did find it hard not to be swayed by too funky aname, as i wanted something simple, pretty yet a little different!
I have, Abbigail Louise (abbi-lou!) and Imogen Lucy (Immy!)
thanks.

I'm due January too & don't have a clue what to call a girl so interested in this! My dd is Harriet and ds is Edward. I love Phoebe myself but my dh does not. I wouldn't have an Ella as there are so many of them around, plus it is the name of Harriets dolly! I think Charlie and Phoebe go together really nicely. My two are often called Hattie and Eddie and I would actually like another 'ee' sound in a way, especially if it was the shortened form of a name.
