Pah... well I think I have put all of my best names (except the one I am using!) on this thread.
Has your DH suggested any names he does like so we can get the measure of him?

I agree with MrsRadders
Bryony is nice - I used to love it when I was little. It seemed so ethereal.

Message withdrawn

hope you choose soon Ruby is lovely, i will give you names off my list as DH seems to think most are too weird for us!!! lol

Hermione (my favourite)
Bryony
Clio
Constance (DH fav)
Eden
Felicity
Pheobe
Tansy (i like but this makes me nuts apparantly lol)
Thalia
Eveline

i also like

Hester
Hennrieta
Millicent
Tate

most names i like DH really dislikes which sucks, although Florence popped out of DH's mouth last night, this is one i liked but never mentioned as it would i thought have been dismissed!! lol

I'll never tell!
It's actually something plain and boring and possibly a bit too popular, but it comes with a very unusual middle name (and sounds v cool with our last name) so needs to be balanced against that... Anyway I have approx 18 more weeks in which to change my mind!

Ruby is good. Do you still like it this evening?

I would stick with Alta 'cos it's a family name and that makes it special.

Some pretty names on here but MrsRadders, surely you could not call a baby "Clio". It's a car!!! or "Tate" which is a gallery!!!

Love Florence though.

Tryharder i wouldn't worry daddy is not insane nor hormonal so clio and tate aren't in the running..they come under his 'weird' comments...he wants a slightly less popular nor boring english name, hence why Hermione is not winning (as now deemed too greek) and florence is winning (his words...florence nightingale..you can't go wrong) lol

only issue i have with florence is that there is another baby in our small town with the name who will be in the same year as my bubs if she arrives on my due date or the year below if she arrives to scan dates...don't mind the second but i don't want my children to be in same school year in same school with another child of same name....is this slightly mad!!!

chritiana have you thought of any other names today or trying any out?

i do think ruby is lovely but as you said is very popular there are a few just in our small town..

what about zara astrid ....? goes nice with myla!

xxx

what about Asha? or Pia?

My DD is Aurora, we call her Rorie.

Ruby is pretty popular, or at least it was a few years ago. Now I think it might be a bit less so, but you're right - it might be a bit incongruous with Myla which is more unusual.

Right, here are some more names for your DH's rejection...

Sigrid (shortens to Sigi or Siri and is infinitely cooler than astrid )
Calla (like the lily)
Livia
Kristen
Noa

What was wrong with Alta in the end?

Or Nell.

Dunno where that just came from.

Or Alida. (long first 'a')

Right, that's every name I know now on this thread...

Message withdrawn

My Alida is pronounced Aa-lee-da, so no scope for cruel jokes there.

Anyway you can always send her to a single-sex school!

how about Sibi?

My sis has a friend called Taryn, I think it's lovely.

My dd's are Chloe and Robyn.

I also like

Hero
Georgia
Lola
Marin
Skye
Alanna
Tori

Mrs Happy

Sigi? really?

I like Elodie

Cleo is much less than Clio I think

I like Nell

I like Hera too (Here-a, as opposed to the American p. of Hair-a)

Freya lovely too, but much less unusual now than Myla.

How are you faring, Christiana? Any developments?

I think that Alta is too similar to both Anna and Myla. I think two syllables are find, just not two "a" endings. What about -

Helen
Honor
Xanthe
Iris
Robin
Lucille
Gwen

Well I have tried all of the other names I can come up with, Seren!

And I think it is kind of sweet...

i've got it.... INGRID which infact is MUCH nicer than Astrid anyway.
