this is my 3rd 'what do think you of this name' thread...somebody help me!

[mabel1973]

I am eternally grateful to anyone who can be bothered to look at this...I am getting bored with it myself

DH and I have now reached a stalemate.
the only names we can agree on are Nancy and Lola.

neither of them really do it for me, but are the least awful of DH's choices and the only ones that he likes of my choices.

Is lola getting too popular now?

[mabel1973]

Oh and any other suggestions that might be similar would help?

[Fimbo]

Nancy is a top name imo.

Do you need more suggestions?

My dh wanted Elinor if ds was a girl and I wasn't overly keen but now I think its a lovely name.

[MaryAnnSingleton]

Nancy is great !

[Fimbo]

The following are not necessarily ones I would chose but you may like them;-

Rosalind
Emslie
Jodie
Clara
Mabel (!)
Lucy
Alice
Gillian
Marissa
Libby
Christie
Kirstin
Claudia
Susannah

[Heated]

Nancy is lovely, agree.

Without wanting to rehash the whole pain of it what other names have been on the drawing board? Perhaps we can think of one in the same vein that neither you have considered, that you both love...

Or if we can't, unless dh is having this one for you, you get to decide!

[dizzydixies]

nancy is nice

what about Nina? I really liked Nina but dh didn't

[Angelsus]

Nancy is lovely

I've also recently started loving the name Penny

[mabel1973]

Heated we had the following:

Flora - general consensus on here was too cruel due to margarine...spreads easily jokes

Lila - i think sounds like lilo and also put off by it being kate moss' daughters name

Florence - we have a fred so would have florence and fred (tesco)

Pearl - Dh doesn't like

Ruby - DH doesn't like

Tabitha - DH doesn't like and is a cats name i guess!

[dizzydixies]

cora or cara
tara or tana
layla or lyra?

clementine nn clemmie?

skylar

[Heated]

Shame about Flora, another lovely one.

Would you describe your naming style as stylish old lady chic?

Beatrix
Francesca
Freya
Kitty (although can't really see you dh going for this one if he rejected Tabitha)
Miriam
Elizabet/Eliza
Helena/Nell
Sylvie
Robyn
Susannah/Susie
Blithe
Anna
Lucy

[dizzydixies]

beatrice nn bea
cecelia nn cece
celeste

our brand new dd3 is cordelia

[LynetteScavo]

I love Lola!

There are none around here.

I didn't use it for DD as DH kept singing "her name was Lola" every time I mentioned it.

[dizzydixies]

eliza
eloise
lois
lucia
iris
esme

josephine nn josie

[Heated]

On another naming thread I saw a link posting Lola to the urban dictionary which was a bit . No idea if it really is used as a slang word.

[TwoWindyDays]

Isla
Iona
Norah

[dizzydixies]

helena or nell
penny

[catnapping]

Heated - yes old lady chic!

fiofio - like Dolores...i'll suggest to DH later!

[jellybeans]

Don't like Nancy, so old fashioned. Lola is OK.

[gladders]

prefer lola personally and don't actually know ANY little lolas at all......

just on the penny/nell thing.... i know someone who alternates between them - both can be short for penelope?

[Boobz]

Penelope... Penny and Penn for short.

[choosyfloosy]

Love Dolores, go for that.

Dolores Nancy or Nancy Dolores are also fantastic combo.
