Give me your best shot :)

It took us a week to name DD when she was born, as the names we had chosen didn't suit her, but eventually we came up with Nakita Lily Robyn.....

Nakita is the Russian variation of Nicole, and it came about as DH and I were talking Russion history as we were both fans :lol:, she was almost named Nika, but we wanted something a little softer, not quite so harsh sounding. Lily is a name I love, but it is also that of a flower and rather than using Iris (grandmothers name and she would be horrified if we used it as she doesn't like her name :rofl: we thought it was a nice fit) and Robyn is after MIL.

3 Names (two middle) is a family tradition that started with DH as he did have just the one but it made his initials RAM :rofl: so a third name was added, same for his sisters and we decided to carry it on. So preferrably no hyphenated names. Last name is longish and starts with M

What we are looking for are names that are not in the top 10, IYKWIM ~ super popular names, but they can be used as second names (as Lily is quite high on the lists), something a little bit different but not OTT.

Boy and Girls names please (sorry no hints either way ;)) But something that works and sounds right with Nakita as well.

So give me your thoughts on where we could go with this bubba :D

what about Juliette? i think that sounds lovely with Nakita.
or Alexis?

I dont have a boys name to add but Saskia instantly came to mind for a girl. Nakita and Saskia - maybe too much of a mouthful?

Wow i was just thinking of member Nai's DD's names and i thought the exact same name " Juliette " would go beautifully with Nakita, seeing you are after a softer sounding name :D

(as for two middle names my Mum was a fan of two middle names and so am i, hence my DD has two middle names too, her first name is long and her two middle names are shortish :dance:)

The first gurls name that came to me randomly was Paige
who ever suggested Anja is a good name and i think the fact its also a russian name

some other russian names i googles but found more girls names that boys:
Dimitre
Ksana
Leena
Laryssa
Tatyana

Ooohhhh I am loving these suggestions, will be making it a lsit and showing it to DH and packing a copy in my labour bag :dance:
