Our much longed for DD will be here in 4 months! (Three years of trying!) Hubby is one of those rare animals who is happy with most names I suggest, which although sounds great to have carte blanche, can be a little frustrating when I actually want opinions and ideas. (Bless him he is just so thrilled, we could call her Windolene and he would still be the proudest dad-to-be) :)

Anyway, these are the five he has shown the most interest in and I wondered what you thought. I am aware they are for the most part quite popular, but tell me what you think anyway:

Beatrix Hope

Lydia Alice

Romilly -help me out with a mn?? (NN poss Romy)

Thea Isabel

Posy Alice

Bit of a funny bunch but please opinion away, be as brutal as you like :)

Lydia, all the time. Lovely.

Juliet and Grace are also lovely.

comelywenchlywoo · 01/05/2013 21:50

Lydia is a beautiful name

Thea, Alice and Romilly are all lovely

I knew a dog called Posy, so in my mind it will always be an animal name. Sorry!

Congratulations on your DD!!

Beatrix Hope - Nice 1st name Don't like Hope

Lydia Alice - Best of the lot

Romilly -help me out with a mn?? quite like but not sure how to pronounce

Thea Isabel - quite like

Posy Alice - love Alice not keen on Posey. Might be nicer as Alice Posy

Bowlersarm · 01/05/2013 21:02

Romilly nn Romy

soontobeslendergirl · 01/05/2013 21:01

I agree that Alice is lovely too.

soontobeslendergirl · 01/05/2013 21:01

.....anything except Posy - may as well call her Bunch.

Favourite would probably be Beatrix with Theadora a close 2nd

BeaWheesht · 01/05/2013 21:00

Ps if I had another girl and didn't feel I had to choose a Gaelic name I would choose genevieve, Harriet or Meredith fwiw

bollockstoit · 01/05/2013 20:59

Lydia or Romilly (love Romy too)

BeaWheesht · 01/05/2013 20:59

Hate Romilly and Posy

Don't mind the rest LOVE Alice

thermalsinapril · 01/05/2013 20:57

From your list, Beatrix Hope, then Lydia Alice.

Isabel might be a nice middle name for Romilly.

fruitpastille · 01/05/2013 20:56

I like Romilly best, Milly for nn?

I like Thea, Hope and Alice too. Not keen on the others.

FingersCrossedLegsNot · 01/05/2013 20:52

Love Posy! Congrats

GeordieCherry · 01/05/2013 20:49

Call her Blanche Wink

Massive congratulations btw & I like Romilly best Thanks

EdinLS · 01/05/2013 20:46

I love Lydia Alice - and Thea, but not massively keen on it with Isabel, prefer Thea Alice I think. Not a massive fan of Hope either.
I can't decide if I really really love Posy or if its just because I love Ballet Shoes (I have a secret urge to call a DD Petrova)

My favourite of your five is Lydia Alice. I also think Lydia works with Hope as a middle name or even Beatrix and Isabel. Lydia is one of my top three names. The others are Claudia and Gabriella. I'm gunning for Claudia if baby is a girl!
