Hi, DD1 is Cecilia (3yo) and DD2 arriving very soon! (4wks) remains unnamed..

DH pushing hard for Margaret... I was totally against it, but said perhaps I would agree if we went with Margo or Maisie as a nickname. I do not care for Maggie as the nickname but realize she might be called this anyway.

How are people feeling about Margaret these days?

Other considerations have been / are:

Catherine
Claudia
Jane
Fiona (though we are living in the US now and everyone says "Oh like Princess Fiona from Shrek", when I say this name)

Previously considered but discarded by either DH or me were:
Victoria
Louisa
Florence
Cora

Any other names you think go well with Cecilia that we should consider?
Many thanks-

Congratulations!

Firstly Cecilia is a beautiful name and definately on my list if my DC2 is a girl.

I like Margaret and Maggie but can see why you might not. Really dislike Maisie as a NN, though I think Margo is fab!

Of your not disgarded list, I like catherine best, Could be Katie for a NN.

Other suggestions is Elizabeth- shortened to Libby, Beth, Lizzie - so many options and the name is beautiful and classic.
