We welcomed DD3 two days ago and were convinced that once we met her it would be obvious which of the names on our shortlist would be the "right" one...but are still undecided and would love your thoughts. DD1 & 2 are Philippa and Beatrice and the shortlist is:

Miranda (nn Miri or Annie)
Nancy (but don't like possible shortening to Nan or Nance possibly by others)
Marianne
Penelope (nn Penny)
Caroline (nn. Carrie)

Alternative suggestions welcome, thank you!

Marianne or Caroline

Caroline or Miranda

although I think Cecily would work well.

Nancy nn could be Cece or similar

PallasCat · 14/06/2015 16:11

Miranda, Marianne or Penelope

Oh I like Miranda and Nancy (the two I know both use Annie as a nn actually). Both utterly beautiful

Marianne is beautiful too and slightly more unusual round here.

Penelope and Caroline I see as a bit seventies.

What about Josephine? DS would have been Josephine. Goes v well with Philippa and Beatrice and you can use Josie/Sephie/Phin/Jo.

Such nice names. With siblings I would put Marianne I think. Lucinda might work too if you want suggestions.

Philippa, Beatrice and Caroline
Or
