DD1 is Annabel, known as Annie. Our surname begins with a W. Which name do you prefer out of Alice v Pippa v Charlotte v Verity? Thanks for your very honest opinions...

I like Pippa, but now you'll look like a Middleton-wannabe if you do that! (I have a Kate, but she's older!)

Not Alice with Annabel...

Pippa on its own is cute on a little girl but not so cute on an adult imo.

I'd go with Philippa nn Pippa.

An Italian friend recently enlightened me on what pippa meant in Italian slang.... May or may not bother those considering the name but worth knowing about if you are thinking about it. Obviously you can't allow for everything in all different languages but in case you are someone who likes to check all aspects then do google it!

I like verity best out of your list!

I love Verity so much. DH has vetoed it because he doesn't like what he calls Felicity type names Hmm but I'd use it in a heartbeat.

I quite like Pippa but Charlotte and Alice are a bit dull. Not offensive though.

Hmmm thanks for the advice so far... I did have concerns re Pippa due to a certain bottom owner, my DH really likes it (probably because of the same reason it sticks in his mind!) MissMelo I do really like Lottie but dislike Charlie... DH wont go with Verity or my alternative of Felicity so the debate continues... I am 37 weeks now so better decide soon.

Having far more difficulty choosing this time.

Think Alice will definitely be middle name.

Alice is a lovely name, though I'm biased it's my DD's middle name. Not keen on the others.

pirateparty · 16/05/2011 10:08

Only one I don't like is Verity. Very 1980s IMO!

megbess · 16/05/2011 08:21

Only one I don't like is pippa.

missmelo · 15/05/2011 23:35

Charlotte maybe Lottie as a nn?

scarlettsmummy2 · 15/05/2011 22:49

I really like them all but think Verity is my favourite.

EffieB · 15/05/2011 22:48

Verity is lovely.

I think Pippa is going to be the new Chardonnay I'm afraid.

Yama · 15/05/2011 22:46

Love Annie by the way.

I like all your options except Pippa (reminds me of Homa and Away circ 1989).

emmanumber3 · 15/05/2011 22:43

The only one I would consider is Verity.

There are far too many Charlotte's around here, every second person I know seems to have one, so that would rule it out for me.

Pippa, along with Petra, are my two "worst" girls names I'm afraid Blush. Just my opinion though, obviously. And I don't dislike Philippa.....

Not keen on Alice either, although it is very popular at the moment.

Annie & Verity sound good together aswell Grin.

typsical · 15/05/2011 22:15

I like Annie and Pippa (Annabel and Philippa)

MordechaiVanunu · 15/05/2011 22:08

I was going to say Alice...but not with Annabelle.

Pippa is nice but it's a nickname you need Philippa as a given name imo.

Annabelle and Charlotte together is a bit dull for some reason although both nice individually.

Annabelle and Verity very lovely together. Go of that.

Next!

cece · 15/05/2011 22:02

Verity is gorgeous. Go for that Smile

LawrieMarlow · 15/05/2011 22:01

DD's first and middle names are on your list :)

MercurySoccer · 15/05/2011 21:59

Pippa, then Charlotte.

NorbertDentressangle · 15/05/2011 20:46

Verity is by far the best IMO

chelstonmum · 15/05/2011 20:43

Pippa is rather cute (but also going to be popular due to a certain new princess' sister).

Annie and Charlotte sounds lovely! x
