DD2 is due in December and DH and I can't find a name we both agree on which goes with Edith....

We would like a name like Edith i.e. more old fashioned and not really popular but not something really out-there like Myrtle or Gertrude! Smile

Surname is an awkward one and discounts anything with an 'L' or 'R' sound in the middle or at the end of the name and anything ending in 'N'! Surname is also a noun so names like 'Iona' sound like 'I own a...' when said with our surname...Blush

I love names like Elizabeth, Catherine and Charlotte but these are either incredibly popular or don't go with our surname....so, wise folks - what names can you suggest which meet these criteria??

TIA!

What about Cassie? pretty name that was on our shortlist (have 2 ds!)

Ha, all the ones I think of have R in the middle- Audrey, Laurel, Norah?!
What about something like Daphne ?

What about Betty maybe

soontobeslendergirl · 31/07/2013 14:42

Lilian, but no N so maybe Lilias?
Eleanor/Nora - but no N or R allowed.....this is hard..
Henrietta/Hetty - no N again?
Elizabeth/Bunty
Mary

Celeste?
Mabel?
Margaret/Rita?
Helen/Nellie
June?

Jeez - most of those don't meet the criteria - this is hard!!
