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.

Genevieve
Cordelia
Hazel

Gemma
Madeline
Melody

[alfiemama]

Crikey, thanks everyone for all your imput.
I really like Madeline/Madeleine but hubby has a daft notion in his head with regards to Madeleine Mcann, doesn't help that my mum said you will always be paranoid

[Louplet]

Adeline?

Nadia
Rosemary
Marianne
Mary

[alfiemama]

Prefer Madeline Louplet if I'm honest

If you like the Ros type names, how about Rosina? It was popular in the early years of this century, but you never hear it these days. You could shorten it to Ros/Rosa/Rosie

[alfiemama]

Thanks Somuchtobits. Its more the second name I prefer as Rose a bit like a hyphenated name. Annie Rose, Evie Rose, even like Madeleine Rose (Maddy Rose)
Don't know why but only like Rosemary with the beginning as Rose

My DD is Evelyn. I had liked Evangaline but was too much for DH.
DD never gets called Evie, she's not too keen on it. But, I guess as she gets to her teenage years, she may prefer to use Evie rather than Evelyn.
I dont know any other Evelyn's (in RL)
Be prepared if you use Evelyn for some bloody terrible spelling attempts, I kid you not, my fave was Evierlynne

I think Madeline / Madeleine is over-used.

ps. I have a Madeleine and don't hear many others. Tend to hear Maddison more round here (up North)

[alfiemama]

Greythorne, Lilianna is on our list, but people keep telling me sounds like Lilly Allen .
Thehappycamper, I agree, I'm in the North and don't seem to hear many. However someone did say on another thread that there little one was picked on at school due to the name being in the press and probably wouldn't have chosen the name now. Children can be cruel

[Greythorne]

Hmmmm, yes I see that now (Lilianna = Lily Allen). Annoying.

Hazel

[pedrothellama]

Alfiemama, please let us know what you have called DC.

I am always dying to find out and then some mums just go off the radar! Then I worry like hell if they are ok?.................

[alfiemama]

Aw will do pedrothellama, thats very kind of you. Although its a while of yet, as trying to stay, team yellow (daft saying lol).

My friend was going to use William, isn't now, so think if boy will be William (always loved that name, from when Jackie Corkhill, called her lo in brookside)
For a girl, Evie, Jessica, Elsie or Elizabeth, so far anyway.

[alfiemama]

Oh forgot Annie Rose and Rosemary

[Doozie]

Patrick is great.

Mattea is my new favourite name - met a fab one, it is the female version of Matthew although I think it can be spelt Mathea as well.

Annie is sweet, but maybe too much with Archie and Alfie?

Some new baby girls I know have been called...

Federica
Clara
Pippa
Anna
Milla
Saskia

Elizabeth x2
Emilia
Caroline
