Girls name - want to expand our very short shortlist

[washngo]

Baby girl due in march, dh and I have only been able to agree on one name which is Penelope. I'd love to give this baby the middle name Margaret after my grandmother who recently died, but that would give her initials PMT which I don't like. So here is our current shortlist:

Penelope Anna

But I'd like to make the list a bit longer! I absolutely love the name Una but recently was used by a family member, so anything similar might be nice too!

[reddaisy]

Orla?

[reddaisy]

And Penelope Anna is very nice too!

[washngo]

Thank you reddaisy! Love orla but it has also just been used by a good friend!

[mellowcat]

Penelope Isla or Penelope Lyra

[reddaisy]

Get new friends

[Doilooklikeatourist]

Register her as Margaret Penelope , and use Penelope as her name .

[washngo]

Really like Lyra but dh not so keen. He is sort of ok with another suggestion of mine which is:
Rosa Margaret

[Sempersecunda]

What about Daisy as this was used as a nn for Margaret? Or Pearl as maragrita means pearl in Latin? I'd avoid names beginning with a vowel as you end up with initial PIT, POT etc. Or you could use Margaret but add another middle name too so that you don't end up with PMT?

[Sempersecunda]

margarita, sorry, rubbish at typing!

[washngo]

Do you think PAT would be a bad initials combo?

[strawberryliv]

Penelope Margaret Anna T... PMAT? Can't think of anything wrong with that... LOVE Penelope by the way..

[Sempersecunda]

I think it's probably the best of the vowel options and fine. You don't often use initials anyway. I went to a uni that gave you email addresses based on initials and that did get embarassing for some so it's always the first thing I think about!

[Sempersecunda]

LOVE Rosa Margaret btw!

[DitzyDonkeySillyMonkey]

Love Penelope!

[Permisson]

I love Penelope Pearl!

Or how about

Beatrice
Nina
Rosanna
Lois
Cleo
Daphne
Celia
Ophelia
Cordelia
Iona
Uma
Lydia
Serena

[washngo]

Really like Iona...

[Permisson]

Me too! I love Penelope too - would probably be nn Penny, which is sweet. Or Nell.

I know an Iona and it is lovely- also seemingly impossible to shorten!

[pinkandyellowbutterfly]

I love Rosa Margaret I think its beautiful , is easy to write and to say, flows perfectly and would have special meaning to you. That would be my choice :-)

[wiltingfast]

Ursula?

[zenoushka]

Oh I love Penelope Anna!

[Littlecherublegs]

Like Rosa!

Or how about:
Opal
Phoebe
Fiona
Josephine
Elsie
Juliet
Iris
Vanessa
Flora

[atthewelles]

Rosa's lovely. I also like Penny but not Penelope.

[washngo]

Ok so, shortlist slightly expanded to

Rosa Margaret
Penelope Anna

Thank you all for the help! Any preferences/ reasons for preferences v welcome!

[baskingseals]

i love love love the name Rosa. think it goes beautifully with Margaret. you could also use Marguerite if you prefered.

i like Penelope, but she would inevitably be Penny at some point, which i am not so keen on.
