40+1 with DC2. If a boy he will be Barnaby, so thats ok. We had decided on Susannah for a girl, to be known as Sukie. However, as soon as I told someone this I had doubts (and not because of their reaction). I am not sure that I don't think Susannah is a bit meh, though i love Sukie. DH won't agree (and I think he is right) to Sukie on bc. This is keeping me awake at night! Maybe there is another name Sukie can be nn for?

I also like:
Clementine
Josephine
Emmeline (DH not convinced though)
Adele

Any thoughts or other suggestions please? Thank you!

Barnaby sounds good also like Barney and Barn for nn

Really not keen on Susannah, particularly Sukie.

Emmeline is great, love it, and the other names are ok.

Suki is sweet, but I do think she needs a 'proper' name (I know not all MN-ers agree on this point of 'proper name son birth certs')

Susannah is lovely, btw. A classic and not too overused name.

Josephine and Emmeline are also fabulous names. Lots of nickname potential, too.
