Why am I pregnant again ffs? Stupid Catholic upbringing. My body will an unsalvageable wreck and we will be living in penury for the next two decades.

Anyway. Need a girls name. I am utterly devoid of inspiration, being interested only in grab bags of Skips and having naps.

Already have an Agnes and an Enid. Surname Stephens.

Dislike: frilliness; 'ah' endings; 'classic' names.

Like: fabulous names. I was keen on Ramona the last go-round, but think I might have lost my love for it.

Any suggestions?

Our Margaret is a Maggie, which suits her. I think people would have just called her Margaret, though, if we had. Her grandparents do.

Frances? Winifred? Stella?

Gertrude

Has verity been suggested?

QueefOfTheDamned · 25/05/2015 12:03

Veronica can be shortened to Vera so gives options.

Love Valerie though :)

Vivienne? Since V seems to be the way to go.

Arsenic · 25/05/2015 12:03

Maggie is fab in its own right.

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 25/05/2015 12:03

Vivienne/Vivien?

MaureenMacnally · 25/05/2015 12:02

Margaret is great but wary to potential nicknames.
