miv I was one of fecking dozens with my name at school,I hated it. I don't want a name that will end up being over popular.

Skye and Arlo go absolutely fine with Betsy, Tabitha, Ida, and maaaaaybe Mabel.

Rhine my aunt is a Sylvia...I'm hoping no one will pay much attention to the connection,as we haven't used any 'family' names at all- there are too many traditions in both our family's and if we used one,we'd have to use the others and then we'd have no say in our DC names at all Grin

Nell, Ivy or Sylvie. All very pretty.

I like Etta as well. What difference does it make if it becomes popular? If you do it now you'll be ahead of the trend :P

It's so tricky...my favourite names are Maude,Agnes,Tabitha,Mildred,Ida,Mabel,Myrtle,Betsy,Agatha et al....
but I think they are too dissimilar to Skye.

I'm trying to balance between a name I love,and a name that won't sound completely odd next to her sisters.

Etta, Elsa or Merryn for me.

RhinestoneCowgirl · 06/05/2013 19:56

Love Sylvie - my gran was a Sylvia so was tempted but it didn't work with surname. Also like Vita.

OrangeFootedScrubfowl · 06/05/2013 19:56

My favourites are Etta, Romy, and Merryn.

I do like Rita too though, and Elsa and Sylvie.

KenDoddsDadsDog · 06/05/2013 19:55

Elsa for me

CognitiveOverload · 06/05/2013 19:55

Vita is nice too.

SurreyWithAFringeOnTop · 06/05/2013 19:55

I love Sylvie, Etta and Elsa. Pippa is also very nice. Not keen on the others, sorry.

CognitiveOverload · 06/05/2013 19:54

Personally, I wouldn't worry about that. What about marron?

TheRealFellatio · 06/05/2013 19:53

I love Sylvie and Elsa but I am not keen on the rest.

Me too,I always have...I worry it's about to become popular though.
Could be the new Emma/Ella apparently. Sad
