So our very much planned 4th and probably last baby is due to arrive in June. We have got a boy's name pretty much set in stone (and it's not Declan Alexander) but are finding girl's names a bit harder this time, probably because I love so many and this is probably the last baby I'll get to name. For a girl our favourites for first names are currently the following, in no real order: Eva Tessa Lucia (Loo-see-ah) Arabella Emily Estella Harriet Liliana Isabella Annika Imogen Haven't got as far as middle names yet. Comments, suggestions, everything welcome!

I love Eva and Emily from your lists, but I'm pretty fussy and wouldn't use Eva when I had a Zara, or Emily if I had a Sophie. I know, strange right!

Welcome back Fifi and congratulations . Looks like your names have changed a little in the last couple of years! Taking into account the other kids' names, I'm liking Imogen. Imogen Tessa? I have always loved Eva so that's my other vote. Don't think I like any of the others on your list as a middle name for Eva though, have you got any other middle name possibilities?

From you list: LOVE: Annika Lucia (but I pronounce it Lou-Chi-Ah because my Italian friend called Lucia pronounces it like this) the rest are all ok to me

Welcome back Fifi and congratulations! I think Tessa is the pick. Lovely name and fits very nicely with the sibs. I would stick with two syllables consistent with your other children's names.

I don't think that's too strange, I've got a lot of names I won't use because I think they're too close to my other kids names but if I crossed them all off I'd probably have nothing left lol.

Yes, we've got a couple of new ones this time, I guess I'm trying to put anything I love out there in case it's the one. I think our boy's choice is probably more different though. Hubby has almost gone completely off Declan so the name we've got it more his suggestion but the more I say it the more I do love it too. We did strongly considered Eva Lucille for a while when having Zara, so that could still be a possibility.

From your list I like Eva, Harriet & Liliana - although I probably like Lilia, Lillian and Lilith more Phoebe was also my first thought when I read your list. Phoebe Arabella would work well.

If a cat doesn't like you, then what's wrong with you?
Welcome back Fifi With your kids names I'd go Eva, Emily or Isabella. Although my favourites from your list are Annika or Tessa. Would absolutely love Estelle over Estella and adore Lucia but only pronounced loo-chee-ah. Congratulations!

Welcome back! And congratulations! I like Harriet, Lucia & Estella from your list. ETA, oh and I like Tess too, of course. I'm not a fan of Tessa though. This post has been edited by PippityRoo: 09/01/2013, 11:05 AM
