Hi, I am a newbie here, expecting a girl in June.
DH is quite unfussed about names being shortened and doesn't have strong opinions regarding nicknames but I'm not a fan. His only stipulation is that the name must not be too popular. I agree with this, I don't want our daughter to be one of 5 Lilys in her class. My dislike of names that can be shortened stems from having a name that has a variety of nicknames. Therefore, we don't want names like Samantha or Jessica.
Our tentative list:
Niamh
Mia - would everyone call her Mimi?
Hannah - too popular?
Eden
Any ideas please for a fussy customer?
