Greta or Nancy? And a middle name

DD2 due any day now and DH and I have narrowed the short list down to Nancy or Greta. I'd previously ruled out Greta as was trying to avoid a 2 syllable name ending in 'a' as DD1 is Stella. But I keep coming back to Greta. Is it too similar to Stella? And which do you prefer - Greta or Nancy?

Also any ideas for middle names? Probably need 3 syllables. Would love to use Emmeline but rhymes with Dd1's middle name!

Thanks

Don't really have a preference netween Greta and Nancy (not much help there!) but I don't think there's any problem having a Greta and a Stella - they are very different names even though they end the same. Also there is absolutely no problem with their middle names rhyming

Thanks. Love Nancy Josephine but gives me the same problem re 'ine' ending. Although maybe it doesn't really matter. I mean we hardly ever refer to DD1s middle name. Nancy Delilah a def possibility too.

Both are lovely. So is Emmeline, does it matter that it rhymes with a middle name?

I'm so helpful aren't I!
