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!
