Really struggling for girls names and looking for inspiration. Have the perfect boys name for us already, Albert. We love that its traditional and classic without being too popular, all the possible nicknames we love (Bert, Bertie, Albie) goes perfectly with 2 syllable surname and in our opinion can suit any characters. He could be a lawyer called Albert or a rock star called Bert!
We have the same criteria for a girls name but can't find one good name we both like! A lot of the problem is names by association and shortenings.
I like:
Valerie (but hate Val)
Penelope (but not Penny)
Evelyn (ev-uh-Lin) but DH hates it and we have an awful Evelyn in our family!
Beatrice (tentatively popping this here as still not sure and DH thinks too French)
DH likes:
Victoria (and Albert?!)
Florence (sadly makes me think of Aunt Flo!)
Any suggestions/fab ideas?!
