DD1 due on Xmas Day. We can't make up our minds from the shortlist below and I've thought about it so much I'm beginning to question them all even though it's been the same shortlist for months! Middle name probably Joy or Marianne. Help please - which would you pick?

Sylvie
Stella
Polly
Celia
Verity
Alice

I love Sylvie for a little girl, it's gorgeous - both middle names go well with it. Stella also very nice too.

I like Celia, though my Flemish DH would probably vote for Stella..

I like Stella best but apart from Alice, which is a bit too popular, I think they're all rather nice.

Sylvie Joy
Stella Joy or
Celia Joy

Definitely not Verity Joy - too jolly hockey sticks.

Marianne is really nice but not sure it works so well as a middle name as it is so long.

However it is of course your call!

Sylvie - lovely soft feminine name
Stella - quite funky I think, my step mothers name and I rather like it
Polly - not keen at all
Celia - no
Verity - beautiful imo
Alice - goes nicely as a mn for Verity!

Sylvie Joy or Verity Alice

I like Celia and Stella, both familiar and yet not common (I don't know any).

Alice is quite popular, Verity a bit of a heavy cross to bear and Polly is a nickname for Mary in my book .

Sylvie is quite sweet tho also sounds like a nn a bit.
