DH and I are expecting the arrival of DD2 any day now. My original shortlist was:

Rosina (family name)
Tabitha
Jemima
Nancy

I like names which are classic but not too popular - DD1 is Eliza, which we both love.

DH didn't particularly like any of the names on DD2 shortlist but came round to Rosina with the nn Rosie. His only other suggestion was Kathryn - which is now out due to royal wedding.

I still like Rosina but as we found out the sex this time and have discussed names with family and friends, people have already started using it which has taken the shine off it a bit for me. I am also worried the popularity of Rose names is set to explode over the next few years.

So now I am tending mote towards Jemima. DH has said that after watching me go through labour he knows he'll let me name her whatever I like Grin WWYD?

Not Nancy. Eliza and Nancy - bit too much of a Musical influence going on there! I'd go for Jemima. Or Roseanna?

Initially I thought Jemima, but reading that Rosina is a family name, your other DD is called Eliza, and you'd use the NN Rosie - I'd definitely go for Rosina.

I prefer Jemima out of those two.
