Final shortlist for DC4

34 replies

We've had great difficulty deciding on names for DC4 and time is running out! We both like names with a vintage feel, but my taste is a little more adventurous than DH's. Ada, Avis and Leopold are all names I love but he has vetoed this time round.

So the shortlist is:

Rose Vita
Matilda Rose
Mabel Rose

Ivan Stanley
William Stanley
George Stanley

sibling for Elizabeth (Elsa/Eliza), Henry and Anna (Annie)

Poor DD2 was nameless for five weeks, so please save us from indecision!

I love Vita ,any chance of Vita Rose?

Rose and George my favourites, all lovely names!

I like Rose best for a girl, but Rose Vita sounds a bit like one long name [Rosevita] to me. Maybe just because I've had a long day?

I probably prefer William for a boy, in terms of matching your existing names.

Rose and Ivan are lovely and not overused.

Rose, William and George go best with your other DC's names.

I like them all! Matilda is my favourite out of your girls' names (started a thread about this name just today!) but Mabel is adorable and Rose is very pretty. In fact I think Rose goes best with your other DCs' names.

George would be top for me by a long way. Lovely though it is, William is just a bit too popular for me (I know five Williams under the age of three). Although Ivan is nice and unusual, I agree that it doesn't fit as well with your other DCs' names.

Mabel Rose is nice and a bit more unusual but otherwise Rose Vita.

William Stanley

would be my top choices from the list.

Lovely list - I can see why it'd be hard to choose between them.

For a girl, I'd go for Mabel Rose. I love Rose Vita, but think it sounds a teensy bit like a health drink. Matilda is also fine, just don't like it as much as the other two options.

For a buy, I wouldn't choose Ivan, as I don't think it sits so well with the other DCs names. I'd probably choose George over William, but both are great.

Rose (you like it - what's stopping you?!)

Ivan
