Thanks heaps for all the suggestions and comments girls!

I am lost in a sea of names at the moment but seem to have managed to get my shortlist down to:

Georgiana
Amelie
Amieka
Elara
Giselle
Paige
Quinn
Taisse
Tansy
Abigail
Anneliese

What do you think? I am hugely concerned about giving her a name that she will have to spend the rest of her life explaining ("no its Amelie, not Emily", "no, it is pronouned Tay is, not Tassie", "no, it is Amieka, not Anieka". and so on....) but want something that is not overly common. Wow!! Finding this SO much harder than last time..

My DS is Alexander, and I've had a few people comment that I shouldn't use an A starting name for our daughter... We just like the sound and how it goes with our surname (which starts with a D and has an 'er' ending) but wondering if they are right.. Are we stiffling her individuality??

I personally love Annaliese best from your list . I have an Anelise and everyone comments on how pretty her name is.

Other names I like from your list are Elara & Amelie.

I tend to agree with the friends who suggest another first intial other than A. Letters come in the mail with just a first intial and surname... maybe it won't bother you if something comes in the mail addressed to A Surname... but it was something I didn't want any confusion over in our house hold. Also school/clubs often print A Surname on trophies and award boards. There might be a plaque that lists A Surname up at your kids school and everyone might wonder which child it was. Oh and on our medicare card it just lists our kids intitials because we have a long surname...glad they all have different ones or it would be confusing.

Quinn is interesting. Lots of great suggestions too.... love Tabitha.

I like Amelie from your list best.....but Amelia is my FAVE name of all time but DH hates it (bah humbug) anyhoo...

We also have Abigail and Tabitha on our list.....

I DID have a dog named Tansy many years ago so I can't shake the pooch link there, but it's still a pretty cool name

Good luck...I'm struggling this time too!

This poor baby is NEVER going to get named! There are some lovely names here! Thanks for all the suggustions!

I think the problem is our surname with it's er ending, which really spoils the sound of a lot of gorgeous names!

DH is a tad conservative and I don't like names that are really popular, so this has narrowed the field a bit. Georgeanna is the current fav (not sure on spelling yet), but is a bit of a mouthful with Alexander!

Wish me luck! I keep thinking that I will know the RIGHT name when it comes along..
