Ah but mormegil - what greater blessing could a man have than to be like the Old Took and have Three remarkable daughters.

..exept to have enough bathrooms to ensure the minimum squabbling between the daughters...

Morm, looking back at your previous request, I noticed that we never got to hear the result - and now the quest continues! Will you divulge whether Daughter the Second found a ME name?

*sigh* Negative. I love her name, Sidney, as my middle name is Sid but it's not a M-e name. I will continue to try, however.

When thinking about names for my first daughter, I recalled Frodo's advice to Sam when his and Rosie's first child was born.

Frodo advised Sam to choose a flower name, in keeping with Hobbit tradition.
I'm English, so following Frodo's advice I chose a traditional English name for my daughter. I named her Elizabeth.

If you had gone for George's other daughter, Selmo, you could have got both traditional English and traditional hobbish: Margaret Rose. Lots of noble Margarets, although I suppose no majesties.

"Laurel" might suit a floral theme without being too florid. Then if your next is male, you could call him "Hardy." (Oh, wait, on perusing past posts here I see 'Laurel' was already suggested. Do you ever refer to your other two daughters as "Sid and the kid"?

What is your first daughter's name? I suppose somehow the three names ought to be compatible (without being similar) so none feels out of place, so to speak?

Apparently in times of war the number of boy babies slightly increases. Perhaps your feminine fecunity brings happy tidings of peace. Congratulations!

Surely noble names have a tendency to be more international, where as the proletarian names would be more bound by traditions of the local area?

Not that I really know anything about this.
