Here's the shortlist of baby names I'm considering- let me know what you think. I´m 22 weeks pregnant expecting a girl, a sister for Magnus William. We live in Germany, I´m British, husband German, so trying to keep the name fairly "global" and preferably pronounable/spellable
Thanks Emma

Really like Constance. Like Lana and quite like Imogen and Lucille. Like Saskia if short for Alexandra, could also have Sasha. Not that keen on any of the others, would like Effie if it was short for something but I'm not sure what.

Effie can be short for Euphemia, or in 1880´s-1910 existed as a stand alone name.
Also some people shorten Ophelia to Effie :)

Ophelia aka Oh he feel's her or oh-FEEL-yah....! Might be worth remembering.

Really love, Effie and Imogen. Not so keen on the rest.

Love Magus...great name.

Magnus-Fab name!

Well, I am biased, as it is my chosen name for DD due in Jan, but Greta would go well. Following that, Imogen or Saskia

I'm an Effie - it's short for Frances Emily (FE = Effie) but I rarely get asked what it's short for, if that helps? It's an awesome name

other names from you list I like are Imogen, Inez and Thea
