18 weeks pregnant. Already have DD Evelyn.

What do you think of

Darcy Rose
Verity Jane

I love the name Elouise but won't be using it as a first name. Would it work as a middle name? Or too much?

I really really don't like the name Darcy for some reason. Verity Rose would be my choice.

I prefer Darcy to verity

Why wouldn't you use Elouise ?

So many nieces / friends babies have vowel names. Think Evelyn, India, Emma, Annabell... I know they're not exactly similar sounding but when they're together it's enough! So I'd rather a non-vowel name.

DH dislikes ALL flower names, but I think Rose as a middle name is just lovely Smile

Never seen Elouise, looks like a spelling mistake to me, sorry! Eloise or Louise.

I prefer Verity Jane (or even Verity Rose) but I like virtue names.

Verity Jane is lovely and goes nicely with Evelyn

I agree it should be Eloise.

It can be spelt both ways. I'd choose Elouise.

What would you shorten Verity to?

Vee maybe? Verity doesn't really lend itself to many nicknames...

Verity Jane! Could be shortened to Veri, Vera or Rita

Elouise with a U in it is utterly dreadful. The name is Eloise.

Verity is a bit prim but I much prefer it to Darcy.

Eloise is gorgeous. Definitely spelt like that though, none of this Elouise nonsense.
