Spencer
Aurelia
Philippa (Pippa)
Clementine (Emmy)
Darcy
Nellie

Please pick your two favourite!
Keep in mind she has/will have two brothers called Ezra and Sasha, and the last name starts with an F and is one syllable.

Spencer? Surely that's a surname, which has then sometimes been used as a boys' name? Sorry, but I think it's terrible.
Pippa and Darcy get my vote.

MamaLazarou · 07/06/2015 18:24

Spencer for a girl? Erk.

Phillippa and Clementine.

MamaLazarou · 07/06/2015 18:25

Oh, just noticed Emmy and Pippa. In that case, I don't like any of them, sorry!

PelvicFloorClenchReminder · 07/06/2015 18:27

Clementine Aurelia.

InQuiteAPickle · 07/06/2015 18:31

Aurelia and Darcy. Really do not like any of the others.

I love Spencer for a boy but not a girl.

ClearlyMoo · 07/06/2015 18:33

Pippa and Nellie

marshmallowpies · 07/06/2015 18:50

Pippa and Clementine, but I prefer Clemmie to Emmy.

VixxFace · 07/06/2015 18:58

All the names are terrible.

SkodaLabia · 07/06/2015 19:07

Clementine I love, and I'm afraid I don't like any of the others.

CarbeDiem · 07/06/2015 19:14

Clementine only for me.

fionadal · 07/06/2015 19:26

Pippa is the only name I like I'm afraid

Sweet name

mrspremise · 07/06/2015 19:28

I prefer Clemency to Clementine, but in accordance with pp, SPENCER??!! Hmm

NadiaWadia · 07/06/2015 19:32

Clementine is lovely. Aurelia is OK. Don't like the others. With Nellie, you can't help mentally adding 'the elephant' so it could be a bit unfortunate. Why not use Eleanor, or Helen/Helena, (lovely names), and then call her 'Nell' (not Nellie) for short?

Agree that Spencer is awful, especially for a girl. It would be cruel.

firstcomeslove · 07/06/2015 19:32

I think Aurelia goes best with your boys names.

raffle · 07/06/2015 19:33

Philippa and Nellie

(But I prefer Nella)

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 07/06/2015 19:37

I think they're all trying to be something you're not names sorry, unless of course you're next in line to the throne,

starfish12 · 07/06/2015 19:45

^ hilarious you can claim to know what OP is like...!

Nellie and Pippa are my faves. Don't like Spencer for a girl.

HarryLimeFoxtrot · 07/06/2015 19:48

Philippa and Nellie are my favourite two.

mysteryfairy · 07/06/2015 19:52

I love Sasha for a boy, but do think if I met two brothers and a sister called Ezra, Sasha and Spencer I'd be assuming Sasha was the girl in the family which would be potentially upsetting for both of them.

Emmy and Darcy are both nice - think I'd choose Darcy so as not to have two four letter names beginning with E in the family.

sweetpeame · 07/06/2015 20:36

Clementine is nice. Aurelia is ok if a bit much iykwim. Don't like the rest at all. Spencer is an awful name for a girl or boy IMO and Nellie sounds very dowdy. Pippa is ok I suppose on reflection but not my taste at all. Darcy is just too try hard and American sounding.

Lady84 · 07/06/2015 20:51

Longer probably sounds nicer with a 1-syllable surname.

I like Pippa and Clementine best

JakeyBurd · 07/06/2015 21:19

Sorry, I'm not a fan of your name choices. I only like Clementine, but not Emmy.

But she's your baby and it's your style so who cares what a bunch of strangers on the www think!

CrispyFern · 07/06/2015 21:24

I only like Clementine.
I would nn it as Minty though!

DramaAlpaca · 07/06/2015 21:31

Clementine & Philippa

HootOnTheBeach · 07/06/2015 21:39

Philippa
