Please help me I am desperate! Having a girl in a months time and we still haven't found The Name- we quite liked Eloise but if it ever gets shortened to Ellie it will go terribly with our last name, which is full of Ls.anysuggestions welcome-am a teacher too so have seen thousands of Avas Evies lilys Gringraces and Olivias! Thank you wisemumsnetters x

I like Louisa. It's similar to Rory in that it's a solid classic name but not widely used.

The Rory I know has a sister called emily.
I would stick with the celticy gaelicy theme and suggest something like Orla, Erin, Eilidh, Niamh, etc.
I like Orla is really nice actually.
Also like Freya and Rory.

OP, do you want to avoid any L's in the name at all?

Rory and Dory
Rory and Mory (Unique spelling of Molly)
Rory and Laurie

I am being facetious, but I have a serious question: do you truly expect your child to go through life forever and always as one of a pair? Rory and X? Will she always be Rory's sister, doomed to go through life as a matching name for an already born sibling?

No?

Then stop the Rory and .. business because it is just silly!!

Just choose a name you like for your daughter. And congratulations!!
