I am expecting a DC2 in September. Not sure of the sex yet, but the fact is I only really like one girl name (there are a handful I QUITE like) and then a smattering of boy names which I think are ok...but the point is, I have pored over the names books and nothing really grabs me. My DD is called Octavia. Any thoughts for names of both sexes which might be a pleasant surprise to me? I would consider anything but I like more unusual flower names, names with a classical dimension, names popular in Edwardian and Victorian times...

Capucine - beautiful 'different' flower name. Italian origins.

ps - nn Pucci, Cini, Cina.

I liked Cordelia, Jennifer, Ilaria (I work with a crazy Italian), Evelyn, Phoebe.

For boys, Theo, Christian, Gregor and Alexander.

Lucky you. Congratulations

Thank you, very pretty. But I'd be worried about the endless 'capuccino' jokes.

Also, worse, would be the link with capuchine monkeys

Antonia
Anastasia

Quentin
Benedict

They are nice names Kathy but they don't feel instinctively like 'mine'. I am too fussy I know

I think Antonia and Benedict are on the right lines but as they are the names of two of my friends they aren't for me.
