Fourth child. All other siblings have two syllable names that are not top 20 but not too outlandish. We want something similar for our fourth. Here is our shortlist:

Zoe
Beatrice (Bea)
Georgia
Nina
Thea
Matilda (Tilda)

Thea - which is actually my 1st choice on my own shortlist.

Sorry to hijack but Summermonths - do you think Thea is short for Theadora only? Do you think that anyone would class it as a short name for Elizabeth?

Thea was my no. 1 choice for dd3, but veteod by DH. I am still mourning and rebelling by calling dd3 by a nickname which bears little resemblance to DH's chosen name for her.

Also like Matilda. Not so keen on Zoe, Nina or Georgia but more to do with having disliked people called that, not the names themselves.

I really like Nina and Thea but I worry they are less complete names than the others. They sort of sound like abbreviations to me. The other names stand more as a whole but I think I like them less.

Not a fan of Beatrice and Matilda personally. I like all the others but really love Nina. I wasn't allowed to use it myself but really wanted to!
