Re: Need new names.
Thanks! I like-Phillipa
-Harriette
-Magnolia
-MirabelleI really love Phillipa, however my cousin (who I no longer speak to) has a daughter Pippa, so it's probably unusable.
Harriet is my cats name lol
Magnolia is very pretty but not sure if I like it enough for a FN, MN definitely!
Mirabelle, very pretty. Hadn't considered this but wonder if its too 'modern' sounding for our other names that we like...

I wouldn't discount Phillipa because of a cousins daughter. Particularly if you'll never see that cousin. The name is similar to her daughter, not your cousin, so it's not like you're naming her after your cousin. So it comes down to how the name makes you feel. Which does Phillipa make you feel more : love for the name, or dislike for your cousin?

What about Miramar as an alternative to Mirabelle? Also, I think its too far from your circle to be concerned about the name of a child of a removed cousin you no longer speak to. Its like not naming your kid Mary because a friend of a friend gave her kid that name. Phillipa is pretty.
