Looking for an under used pretty girls name?

[alfiemama]

Just as the title says really.
We've chosen Patrick with everyone on heres help, think its a lovely underused traditional name.
Now we are trying to find the equivalent for a girl.

But.... needs to go with ds's Alfie and Archie and a surname of one syllable beginning with C (so unfortunately Rose is out). I would also like something that is adaptable, so you can have a cute name (maybe nn) or a serious name when older.

I don't want much I know

Any help would be most appreciated.

Apart from -ie ending names (maybe a bit much with Alfie and Archie), most girls' names would go well with your boys' names.

How about
Elisabeth
Isabel
Antonia

Annabel

Anna when she is older and Belle for a nn,

I wouldn't have all childrens' names start with the same letter (A) - can be confusing .

Florence?

nn Flo...

Juliet(te)
Susannah

I love:

Faith (DD1)
Elsie
Elizabeth (quite used though but very pretty)

Lots of nn for elizabeth- betty, bessie, betsy, libby

Tigerfeet Juliet is quite nice, thats more along the lines I'm looking for just don't think its been done to death.

RobynLou, Hubby doesnt like Florence, but again on the right lines.

Thanks everyone

Christabel

Harriet ? (Ettie?)

Harriet is on our list Pogleswife.
Fanjo, don't think hubby will like Christabel.

What do you all think of Rosemary?

I think Hattie is a lovely nn for Harriet.

Hettie?

We have the nn nickname Hattie as well diddl

Katherine/Catherine. She can be Katie or Kitty or Kate/Cate or Kath or Kat/Cat.

We named our daughter Catherine and all the Midwives commented on how classic it is and how unusual it is these days. HV's and random strangers have said the same since and we live in a big city with lots and lots of babies born all the time. Not met another yet and we're out a lot with our older DS.

i like Rosemary, but slightly prefer Rosanna.

Agree with diddl that Hattie is lovely

Cecily, nn Cece

Lydia

I know an old lady called Lettice - known as Lettie.

I wish lettuce was called something else because I think the name is quite pretty.

Katherine
Rachel

(my dds names!)

Delia

Lilja.

Tara.

I also know an Araminta - known as Minty

Emma is rarely used. (I don't know any apart from my own DD)

Elizabeth too.

Laura

Jane

Florence

Jennifer

I have a Harriet (Hattie) and Miriam (Mim) both of which I think fall into the category of 'pretty and classic but not overused'...
