Short list for girls names

I'm 37 weeks with DC2, so time is getting short, and DH and I have been struggling to agree. We've narrowed it down to a few now and I'd appreciate opinions. I'm not putting the boys' names as my favourite is generally shot down on here (it's a Scottish name which Scots seen to like but English people don't get!) so here's our girls list:

Tess
Rebecca
Beth
India

If it helps, DD is called Naomi.

I like Beth as a nn for Bethan or Elizabeth...

3boysgirlontheway · 31/01/2012 14:19

Beth or Tess for me.

Sorry but I hate Becky so Rebecca is out for me, I love Tess though, lovely name.

Rhubarbgarden · 31/01/2012 14:09

I love India.

meditrina · 31/01/2012 10:18

I think Rebecca goes best, or Beth if it is nn for Elizabeth or Bethany.

Gorgeous names, love them all (except India)

Love Beth (with Bethan as fullname) and Tess. Both beautiful.

Like Beth - Bethan would be on our shortlist, nn Beth.
And I think Bethan and Naomi go well together.

Not keen on the others, sorry.

I like Rebecca best from the list. Beth and Tess are lovely as nicknames for Elisabeth/Bethany or Teresa. India is too 80s "I'm well travelled".

I like Rebecca and India. Not keen on Tess or Beth

I think Rebecca goes best with Naomi, followed by Beth.

Definately Beth, Its what DS2 would have been called.

I dont really like any of the other names
