    I need your help to find a girls name...

    I need your advice on girls names please!

    I have always loved the name Hannah, and would love to use it but I don't think it goes with our surname, Hone. So back to the drawing board.

    DS is Ollie, well Oliver, but always just Ollie. So Molly is off the list too

    DH really likes Matisse, I think it's really pretty, but does it make you think of the artist? Or that we're trying to be french?

    Love to hear your other ideas!

    Thanks

    Thanks ladies,

    Feeb, absolutely, let's catch up soon!
    Samantha is cute, I really like it, actually I like lots of names on your list but unfortunately they are close friends or relatives. Sammie though is added to the list. I also really like Charlotte (or Charli) but dh thinks it's too popular...

    Thanks Rouge, it is actually growing on me now.

    HotI, Abby is the other name on my list, love it! Have to convince DH though...

    Thanks everyone! Keep them coming

    I know an irrepressible girl called Matisse. She is just gorgeous. I don't really have any other suggestions. I love Matisse. GL with the name hunting.

    love Matisse.... i think many names remind people of someone or something but soon she'll come to own it.

    My other vote is Imogen... my baby girl's name. We call er Immy and DS (who is 2) calls her Mimi... it's so cute!!!

    good luck hon.

    I LOVE Matisse but DH didn't. We went for Milla instead (which I also super dooper love!). And our other twin is a Claudia (I also like Charlotte, but my best friend was due the week after me, and it was the name she has loved forever).

    Ricky Ponting and his wife called their new daughter Matisse. I think it is very pretty.

    My DD is called Tara and if one of my twins was going to be a girl we were going to use Eliza. I also liked the name Poppy but my DH didn't like it at all.

    As for trying to be french, I wouldn't worry about that. All my kids have Irish/Celtic names - including surname - Tara, Rhys & Liam and my name is Irish as well but we are all true blue Aussies. If you love it then go for it
