Can you ever be ready for a baby?
Before you get pregnant, you might have all the boxes ticked, or you could be the 'let's just see what happens' type. No matter what your style, it can help to think about the emotional aspects of parenthood.

So currently we are thinking of:
Lucia ??? Eva Lucille Eva Celeste Tessa Harriet Tessa Imogen I know we still have plently of time but I already have a strong feeling that if the baby comes out a girl the poor thing is going to be nameless for days which never happened with our others. Nothing we can think of seems to sound perfect and all our ideas seem to pretty much be the same names over and over. Please suggest away!

1. Tessa Harriet
2. Eva Celeste Eva Harriet works as well. Tessa and Eva are both great names. With a Zara I would pick Tessa as Eva 'merges' a bit with Zara. ETA: Lucia Pearl Lucia Claire Lucia Dawn Lucia Fern This post has been edited by Gudrun: 11/01/2013, 10:59 AM |

ETA: Lucia Pearl Lucia Claire Lucia Dawn Lucia Fern We have thought that Zara and Eva could be too close but can't cross it off just yet. And after being here for years and seeing people think Holly and Lily and other far more similar names are fine for siblings Zara and Eva would definitely not be that bad. Some nice suggestions here now, two in particular are really grabbing me which is good. Suggestions for Eva and Tessa welcome too .

Would you consider Harriet as a first name? I think it's adorable
Of the other first names you have the only other one I like is Eva. I don't think it's too close to Zara at all and I think it fits perfectly with your other children's names. Middle name wise I am more into conservative names like Margaret, Claire, Philippa etc. |

As another person said Harriet is a lovely name. I would use that as a first name.
I couldn't think of anything to go with Lucia as it's a name that I can't stand. I always use family names as middle names. Are there any family names that you like ? This post has been edited by Sassy Girl: 11/01/2013, 03:59 PM |
