Girls Shortlist: pick two

60 replies

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.

Darcy
Clementine

SylvaniansAtEase · 07/06/2015 23:11

Oh dear... Aurelia by a process of elimination. It's nice.

But only because I just don't personally like Clementine or Philippa, which are perfectly nice names. Either of those are fine.

JUST NOT SPENCER.

Although Sasha is really a boy's name too I suppose.

Still...

NOT SPENCER.

Sophronia · 07/06/2015 23:17

Clementine or Aurelia.

ch1134 · 07/06/2015 23:24

Pippa and Nellie, but Pippa is much better than Nellie.

CakeRattleandRoll · 08/06/2015 00:22

Philippa and Clementine

Yellowbird01 · 08/06/2015 00:26

Pippa

Not sure for the second one

QuinoaLenghi · 08/06/2015 06:52

Love your boys names. I also like your girls names except Darcey (just awful) and Spencer (a boys name). I think my fav is Pippa.

DampAndRotten · 08/06/2015 06:56

Phillipa & Clementine

Definitely not Spencer, especially with a son named Sasha.

wesH · 08/06/2015 10:06

Philippa and Clementine - though the nicknames you have chosen for them made me think twice! Emmy is such a frumpy nickname

SylvaniansAtEase · 08/06/2015 11:33

Oh sorry for some reason I thought your OP said you had a DD called Sasha.

StGodolphin · 08/06/2015 11:47

Phillipa

Allalonenow · 08/06/2015 11:56

Philippa or Clementine are the only two I like from your list, though Helen or Ellen with Nellie as a diminutive as it traditionally is, would be nice too.

I don't think Nellie has really yet made the transition to trendy glamerous old lady name that Clara or Matilda etc have.

TempsPerdu · 08/06/2015 13:28

None are really my style, but if I had to choose two I'd go for Clementine and Aurelia. Strongly dislike Spencer (for a girl) and Darcy. Love either Helena or Eleanor with nn Nell, but I'm afraid Nellie just gives off elephant vibes for me!

ClementineAndCordelia · 08/06/2015 16:59

Love Clementine ( if DC2 is a girl this will be her middle name ) and think
that Aurelia is one of the nicest girls names ever- so they get my vote . Both are nice with your boys names too .

Volvox · 08/06/2015 17:20

Clementine and Philippa.

TravellingHopefully12 · 09/06/2015 11:10

Clementine is beautiful - makes me think of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, but that isn't a bad thing, it's a great film.

Darcy is pretty too.

ashesandfire · 09/06/2015 19:14

Love Clementine.
Philippa and Aurelia are ok.
I loathe Darcy, sorry, and Spencer for a girl is just awful. I would assume in a sibset of Ezra, Sasha and Spencer that Spencer was one of the boys and Sasha the girl.
Nellie is an elephant. Eleanor or Helena or Penelope nn Nell is better?

Ward3 · 10/06/2015 04:38

Clementine, Pippa, and Aurelia.
Actually quite love Spencer but not so sure it goes well with Ezra and Sasha.

nooka · 10/06/2015 04:46

Our dd (if she had been the ds we were expecting) was going to be called Ezra, so I like your taste in boys names OP. I'm afraid I don't really like any of your girls options though. Philippa/Pippa at a push.

Clementine is the only one I love. Aurelia is very pretty but it's doesn't trip off the tongue terribly easily in English.

I don't mind Philippa or Darcy but I don't love them.

I don't like Nellie and as for Spencer, NO NO NO.

She's a girl. Why on earth would you call her Spencer? It's not even a nice name for a boy.

Itsraininginbaltimore · 10/06/2015 05:35

I think you will have everyone assuming your Sasha is a girl, and your Spencer is a boy. That would get really tedious after about five minutes.

Although I do like Sasha for a boy.

Rhubarbgarden · 10/06/2015 12:55

Love Sasha on a boy.

My favourites are Aurelia and Philippa.

MitzyLeFrouf · 10/06/2015 12:59

Definitely not Pippa as it has various unsavoury meanings in other languages.

And definitely not Spencer as that would be very strange indeed.

Nell and Clementine are both nice.

shitebag · 10/06/2015 15:17

Initially I liked Phillipa and Darcey through process of elimination but then I read about your surname and it doesn't go in my head at all!

I'm thinking Phillipa Frank (may or may not be surname of course) but its too Effy if that makes sense.

Basically Darcey is the only one I like.
