I'm 39+2 and we've agreed a boy's name but can't quite get there with a girl's name - there just seem to be too many that we both like. We think our final four names are, in no particular order:

Lucy
Daisy
Beatrice (nn Bea)
Flora

We already have a daughter called Matilda.

What do you reckon? Or which of the four would you most like to be called yourself? I'm hoping that we'll get all defensive over one of the names now and that will answer our question... Smile

Many thanks!

Ooo interesting, thank you - I find myself nodding along that Lucy and Beatrice are the best, so maybe I do have an opinion...! Everlong, Polly would have been on the list if it didn't rhyme with a key family name - love it and was sad to discard.

Flora I love but not as keen on Florence or Flo, and I suspect the margarine connotation may cause a few raised eyebrows in the next generation up - I've taught one, which, for me, has disassociated it from the brand.

Lucy.

Drfinitely Lucy.

Lucy. It's a classic yet I've only ever known one. Definitely a winner for me.

I like Flora,but in reality it's a butter substitute that I would never use,butter all the way

Beatrice by a long shot

RyleDup · 31/10/2012 23:05

Beatrice or flora.

Lucy or Beatrice.

Think that Beatrice possibly goes better with Matilda, although Lucy is actually my favourite name of the four.

Not keen on flora or daisy.

All lovely. Flora is a bit spoilt by famous brand name, though, I think.

ProcrastinatingPanda · 31/10/2012 22:57

I like Lucy best.

Daisy, because then you will have a song for each: Waltzing Matilda and Daisy Daisy (OK my reasoning may be a little odd but I think they are the same era).

Although Lucy is one of my favourite names ever.

DottieRose · 31/10/2012 20:42

Beatrice would be my pick and goes great with Matilda....how about Florence instead of Flora as that would also be fab with Matilda (which is fab btw)

Lucy or Beatrice

I have a Lucy x
