All very pretty names. Agree with Hulababy, prefer Libby as nn for Elizabeth, also prefer Evie as a nn for Eve or Eva. Just in case it might help you decide, Sophie is VERY popular. Maybe you know that already! Good luck in choosing. x

Freya - lovely but very popular and will date her to between 2003 and 2013 I think.
Libby - i really love this one. So cute and pretty. Would you put Elizabeth on bc. I mean, I love Libby, but incase it sounds tired like Debbie in 40 yrs time, good to have Elizabeth to fall back on. JUST in case.
Evie - lovely, but would put just Eve on the birth cert. Popular but lovely.
Sophie - ok but tbh I'm knee deep in Sophies. It IS pretty and I thought of it 7 yrs ago when I was pg, but now, I would like to see Susie or Sylvie for a change.

I know only one Freya who is in DS1's reception class, I know it is getting more popular though...although DH thought I'd made it up at first!!

Libby - do love this but wonder about how an adult would feel with this name? really close friend has just called her DD Elizabeth though so couldn't really call her that, although she always calls her DD Lizzie.

Evie - don't know any Evie's but I do prefer it to Eve or Eva.

Sophie - I know of one 'little' one!

Nobody owns the name Elizabeth. YOu could put Elizabeth on bc use Libby.

Invent a great aunt Elizabeth. Everybody has one!

DS's are very traditional, biblical names BTW - not that I'm trying to confuse things

Start mentioning your great aunt Elizabeth now and again, just to pave the way in case you DO decide to use Elizabeth/Libby.

What about Lydia instead of Libby? Not that I especially prefer it, they are both exactly the kind of name I like, but Lydia would tie in with bible 'theme'.

MrsMattie · 15/01/2009 16:53

Libby is nicest

I prefer Eve to Evie

Not keen on Sophie or Freya

I know a Lydia of my age whom I dislike though, kind of puts me off!

I think it's going to be a case or deciding when she's born, because DH keeps changing his name on what he likes too!

Ok, you like Sophie, what about staying with the bible theme, picking Susanna and nn Susie??

I am so ready to hear of a baby Susie. A tidal wave of Sophies leaves me with no opinion at all any more. When I hear of another one I mean.

You gotta try and let the associations go. My x was like this. "I used to cycle 'round the block with a very fat sophie and it's a fat girl's name" He actually said that....

My son has the same name as an annoying boy in my school, but in about a fortnight, the name was far more my son's.
