I'm 6 months pregnant with DC2 who we have been told is a girl. We are really struggling with names due to having a difficult surname. Our ridiculous criteria is as follows:
- must go with our surname which is double barelled and begins with a 'shu' sound
- Ideally one that wouldn't be given a short version/nickname
- A classic name eg. Not Millie, Tilly, Molly etc
Ones we like but not sure they will work for reasons given above:
Eleanor (would inevitably be shortned to Ella/Ellie which I don't like )
Imogen (not sure it goes with 'sh' surname
Sophie (ditto?)
Nina (someone made 'neenaw' noise and put me off )
Lucy (Ds name ends in 'y'/'ee' sound so not sure if twee together
Laura (sil name)
Emily (best friends Dd name)
Lydia (love this but just know family will do face)
Abigail (would be shortened to abby?)
Olivia (too popular?)
Any thoughts welcome!
