and has two syllables.

[Rhubarb78]

Edith, nn edie if thats an option

[thatwasadaftidea]

Thanks for everyone's opinions. The problem I've got is that I don't have a favourite. Partly I can't imagine this one will be a girl.

[nailslikeknives]

Love Beatrice. As long as your surname doesn't start with 'O' :-) kids can be cruel etc etc.
Anyhoo, Beatrice and Audrey are my fave girls' names.

[nailslikeknives]

Oh, sorry, just saw your last name does end with an o. Guess that's the end of Beatrice for me.

[Viviennemary]

I like April, Edith, Hester, Iris and Sylvie.

[exoticfruits]

Edith

[JamesAndTheGiantBanana]

You can probably cut that list in half tonight just by doing this: practise repeating the name at least 7 times whilst issuing a command across a busy playgroup. Like: Ophelia put your shoes on. Ophelia... Ophelia! Ophelia, shoes on please. Now please! Ophelia are you even listening? OPHELIA, shoes! Right, that's it. Ophelia, 1....2...



You will say it a million times a day. If it doesn't trip off the tongue easily, if it feels pretentious or unnatural, if you worry what other people will think about it, write it off straight away.

[thatwasadaftidea]

good idea, but of course any daughter of mine wouldn't need shouted at in the supermarket surely!

ok so i did that, I only come up with Iris as passing the supermarket test.

[DoItTooJulia]

Oh, I love Renee.

Hate Esme.

The rest are ok, but I prefer the likes of Otillie, Odette and Loveday....

[thatwasadaftidea]

ok, these are passing the supermarket screech test for me.

Edith
Esme
Hester
Iris
Polly
Sylvie

[MortifiedAdams]

Inez = Ines, surely?

[Bumblebee78]

Got to agree with Jamesandthegiantbanana, think about how the name will sound when you are hollering it across the park to your child...again, about a million times!

[HahaHarrie]

Delphi
Inez - prefer Ines
