I need some help. I'm 36 weeks pg with DD2 & we can't think/agree on a name.
DD1 is called Florence & we're pretty uninspired for this one.
So far we quite like:
Martha
Matilda
Eliza (DH is not keen on this one).
Any comments on these or suggestions would be gratefully received!

Robert

Honestly, you and your husband have had 30+ weeks to consider names, are you really going to name your daughter on the advice of strangers from Mumsnet?

I really ought to hide this section of MN...

Matilda is lovely and goes well with Florence. I don't like Martha or Eliza very much, they sound too harsh to me.
Also, Tilda is a sweet nn.

I know two sisters named Florence and Georgia.

Matilda and Florence are perfect together. I know loads of Florence's but only a couple of Matilda's.
How about Florence and
Margot
Lilian
Felicity
Madeleine
Polly
Beatrice
Emmeline
Ursula
Xanthe
Theodora
Alice
Helena
Juliet?

Not keen on Martha or Eliza.

I think you couldn't do much better than Matilda and Florence together, really gorgeous!! How about Tallulah....I know sisters Tallulah and Florence! Jemima and Florence would also be fabulous!

Elizabeth? We have an Elizabeth and if we have another dd she will be a Florence.
