Final 3 girls names

[Acunningruse]

Due on Friday and still undecided for girl's names. Shortlist is:
Lydia
Katherine (poss shortened to Katie?)
Ivy

Middle name will be Rose (family reasons) and surname is 4 syllables beginning with 'Sh'.

Thoughts please?!

[ImYourMama]

Not Katherine but love the other 2 :)

[Ilovenannyplum]

Ivy
V pretty


Really dislike Katherine

[JenniferAnistonsHair]

Ooh, good luck!!

Out of the three, Lydia would be my choice :)

[FloatyFlo]

Love Ivy!

[KoalaDownUnder]

Lydia
Ivy

(Love them both.)

Don't like Katherine. I find it dull.

[chocoLit]

They're all lovely. Just see what she looks like.

[Oly5]

I love Katherine! My second choice would be Ivy.
Don't like Lydia I'm afraid

[Newtoday]

All beautiful, and all go very well with Rose. Maybe Ivy as the front runner..

[weegiemum]

I have a Katherine - it suited her as a wee one and she carries it very well as an uber-cool 16 year old "art babe" (her words). Brilliant name. She often goes by Kathy now.

[MyKingdomForBrie]

Lydia as it goes best with Rose imo

[PotteringAlong]

Katherine, without a shadow of a doubt.

[Foxtato]

Lydia Rose.
Those names go together lovely.

[MrsMargeSimpson]

Don't shorten Katherine to Katie, it's really fucking irritating explaining that every fucking day for a whole life. If you like Katie, choose Katie.

Speaking from bitter experience

[celeryisnotasuperfood]

Like all 3 - favourite is Lydia.
But just leave it as a short list and wait for baby to arrive - then I think one of them will jump out as being right for your baby...

[fluentinsarcasm]

Like Katherine the best, Ivy the least.

There's no wiggle room with Ivy if she doesn't like it.... maybe V but think it sounds harsh
Katherine has loads ...Katie, Kate, Kathy, Kitty, Kat

[maryellie]

Ivy

[Mausageandsash]

Lydia X

[Heratnumber7]

Ivy sounds like a Victorian kitchen maid.
Katherine and Lydia are both nice.

[babyblabber]

Ivy or Lydia.

Not a fan of Katherine, if you go for it Catherine looks so much nicer.

[VioletsAreViolet]

Love Ivy.

Katherine's okay, but a bit dull.

Can't stand Lydia.

[allegretto]

I love Lydia and Katherine. I like Ivy but not with Rose as a second name - sounds a bit weird to have two plants!

[Hulafox]

I like Ivy the best - esp if your surname is quite long. With Katherine it might just end up being a lot of letters!

[eachtigertires]

I like Ivy the best.

[Rosaaa]

For me:

1. Katherine / Catherine
   
2. Lydia
   
3. Ivy

[CakeRattleandRoll]

Lydia Rose.
