Love elizabeth and ao many good nns
Elisabeth with an s is unusual?
Personally I'd stick to Elizabeth or Elisabet. It looked a bit ' cherry picked' IMO.

Like Claire and Miriam
Quite like Rebecca, but prefer Rebekah
What about louison? I've always loved it but was vetoed ...

Katharine and Helena are two of my names. I highly recommend them.

Friends dD is Eleanor (Ellie) I love it very classy.

Your dh's suggestions are all a bit pedestrian but love Sophia.
I think Louise is dated. Edith not a very nice name. Love iris.

Actually I quite like Claire, bet there aren't lots of little Claires around these days.

I like Miriam and Rosamund from your list. Ros is a lovely nn.
I don't like any of your dh's choices, sorry.
I like all your names from the joint list esp Katharine with a K. I like Eleanor but the country is awash with little Ellies and I'm not sure if there's room for any more.

Of all the names listed Susanna and Iris are my favourites.
