Suggestions? Votes? Opinions?

[AnaWinter]

Penelope or Katrina are my favourite

[Chaffinch4]

Katrina is lovely. Dorothy with nn Dolly?

[Mugshotzforlunch]

I like Katrina the best from your list.
How about Francesca?

[Smoliver]

I like Valentina, Delilah and Katrina the best. Penelope is nice too but I think it's become a lot more popular recently.

[KingMortificadosMistress]

Please don't call your child Wednesday Darlington.

It sounds like a northern salesman's calling point.

Wednesday Darlington
Thursday Stockton
Friday Middlesborough


What about classical Greek (or Roman) names like Cassiopeia or Cassandra? Not those particularly but there is a whole trove of unusual names in that genre.

[AnyaMoondial]

I was just about to say that Wednesday is brilliant but I've just seen kings post and I've changed my mind!

Love Katrina.

[Lemonnaise]

Dana is beautiful.

[AndNoneForGretchenWieners]

Valentina or Penelope sound good. They all sound nice though apart from Wednesday, although I'm not against that as a name per se. But if she is born on a Sunday, it would seem a little eccentric, and with Darlington as a surname I think I agree with pp about salesmen

[PricillaQueenOfTheDesert]

Wednesday is only an option if your surname is Addams surely. I’m not keen on any of those names, I’m more traditional. elizabeth, Charlotte, Amy, Victoria, Sarah, Rachel, Rebecca type of names.

Bobbi with an i is dreadful, Penelope screams “were desperate to be upper class” Dolly says Crazy old cat woman.

Sorry if that’s not what you wan to hear, but you did ask for opinions, I’ve not said anything with the intention or being spiteful.

For real old school names I do like Violet, Mable, Henrietta, Lydia, etc, on other people’s children.

[Hastalapasta]

Congratulations!

I like Penelope, Valentina is Italian, Can’t see it working with Darlington tbh.
Bobby, Belinda, Daniela.
Just be aware that the initials DD will be interpreted as a bra size....

[WillowySnicket]

I love Dana Darlington! Destined for fame as a 1920's starlet.

[SnarkyGorgon]

I really like the alliteration of Dana Darlington, how about Daphne? Or maybe a single syllable name, like Faye?

[MamaDuckling]

Dolores no Dolly?

[MamaDuckling]

*nn

[daisypond]

Penelope or Valentina. I'm not keen on the others. I don't like the alliteration with any of the ones beginning with D. Katrina makes me think of the hurricane. Bobbi and Wednesday aren't real names to my thinking. But Roberta with a nn of Bobbi is nice.

[BenLui]

Valentina or Katrina are both lovely.

I quite like unusual names but Wednesday Darlington sounds like a business or a placename I’m afraid.

[Silverthorn]

Daniella Darlington? Can then be shortened in various ways Dani/(Ella.

[Tigersteeth]

I love day names! But think it should only be used if she''s born on the day...
Or how about Delphine Darlington? Delilah''s got too many l''s, I think. Dora?

[Sugarpiehoneyeye]

Katrina Darlington is beautiful. Love Kat as a nick name.

[holidayqueriwifi]

Kitty Darlington

Cassia Darlington

Karina Darlington

[holidayqueriwifi]

Or Carina

[Guardsman18]

Faye Darlington - sounds like a film star! I love it

[TheVoiceOfTreason]

Dana Darlington sounds like a superhero. Which I think is awesome, you might not though. It is a very American sounding first name too I'd say.

Of your list, I really love Valentina and Penelope! Depends if you are happy with Val, Tina or Penny (as applicable) as the go-to nicknames...

[FASDLRL]

I Love Dana, Bobbi and Katrina.

Wednesday Darlington sounds very posh - but if you are why not go for it.
Love all the names just depends on whether you want an OTT name or if you could shorten them to a nickname.

Penelope - Penny
Delilah - Lila
Katrina - Kat or Katie

Felicity

Jennifer
