Right. I have the world's most boring name and always promised myself if I had a girl she would have something much more individual. And now I'm having two. And the problem is I think hormones are making me err on the side of exotic princesses when (here's hoping) both young ladies will stand up in front of a boardroom one day and should be taken seriously...so have reined back on the Scarletts and Anastasias and Guineveres and trying to have names with a pedigree that are still pretty.
Surname is one syllable, beginning with a 'w'. I would like the middle name to be something to do with our family (Beatrice or Olivia) or Scottish (Iona, Isla etc, they can take away my freedom and all that...) OR (DP thinks I'm mad) the boat we conceived on which was Liberty, or my childhood pets were Lucy and Freya.
Names were hard enough with DS and he's a boy and there's only one, so please help. DP is of the 'what's wrong with Emma/Claire/Sophie/Kate/Pippa/insert every current name which would make them one of 10 in the classroom).
Being twins, don't want them starting with the same letter, both ending in 'y' or 'ie' or, worst, completely rhyming. Trisyllabic works well with the surname, but a lot of them like Annabel are a bit popular. DP likes it when they can be shortened to a boys' name (issues ;) )
So...
Polly
Sally
Francesca (Frankie for short)
Charlotte (boring, but like Charlie/Lottie)
Harriet (Harry)
Penelope (Penny)
Estella (Stella/Ellie)
Is everyone going to be called Philippa/Pippa?
I also like: Nancy, Kitty, Belinda (Billie), Carmel, Serena, Dulcie, Elizabeth (if shortened to Betsy/Lizzie/Eliza), Florence (Flora, Florrie/Floss) and Darcey.
Nice problem to have though :)Thank you ladies x
