Meredith is officially (on my planet) the ugliest name on record. Anything would be better, really. From your shortlist Rosalind is beautiful with Philippa a good second.

AngryPixie · 15/08/2010 20:41

Meredith love Edie/meri as a nn

tummytickler · 15/08/2010 20:36

Meridith. Merry is such a cute nn.

TheRedQueen · 15/08/2010 20:17

Rosalind.

Rosalind is very pretty (and classy!). NN Rosa?

proudfoot · 11/08/2010 22:29

Meredith

Unusual but everyone has heard of it - nice name with old fashioned charm

teaandcakeplease · 11/08/2010 21:08

Vivian (is male version) my mums name is Vivienne and I love it Smile (bias)

I like Philippa too, especially shortened to Pippa.

Flighttattendant · 11/08/2010 20:57

Rosalind or Vivienne I think.

ColdComfortFarm · 11/08/2010 20:55

Vivien. Vivi for short. I think 'v' is a cool initial.

SqueezyB · 11/08/2010 20:51

Meredith! I have one, NN Meri. Rosalind is lovely too.

Easywriter · 11/08/2010 20:44

Mmmmm! I don't know really, Rosalind is soooo pretty.

Meredith or Philippa

SecurusScriptor · 11/08/2010 18:01

Ronaldinho, what is(are) baby sista's sibling(s) called?

ElephantsAndMiasmas · 11/08/2010 17:58

Meredith! deffo

MrsJohnDeere · 11/08/2010 12:50

Meredith gets my vote

pointydog · 11/08/2010 12:48

I like Meredith. A good sound, quite unusual, nothing too specific springs to mind in terms of people-type. Edie good nickname.

Don;t like philippa or Rosalind, too uptight.

There's something a bit flat about Vivian.

I will report you = give the poor girl a name already Grin

Pasiphae · 11/08/2010 10:59

Vivian! Beautiful, demure but fun.

I like Meredith too.

Lavitabellissima · 11/08/2010 10:53

I like Vivien or Rosalind

Raahh · 11/08/2010 10:48

Philippa !

(This does seem to be getting quite popular round MN- few threads recently. But i love it, hence DD2 will be Philippa Imogen, due October).

Rosalind was on my list, as was Meredith- love Meredith, lovely nn potential= Merry, Edie are great. Was put off Rosalind by 'Roz' really, but then the one I know -same age as me- was never Roz. As a little girl, Rosie makes more sense.

Not as keen on Vivian- doesn't seem right on a baby, but Vivi is cute.

TWO WEEKS?! The pore child! Grin

Does she LOOK like any of the names you've listed?
or NOT look like them?

I was completely set on Alexander for a boy but when DS was born he just didn't LOOK like one. He looked like a Henry and that's what he is.

Hadn't thought of Merry as a nn or Edie - both nice too
(not helping much, am I?)

I was at a standstill as I had narrowed it down to a number of names all of which I would be happy with
the final decision is the killer
