Please help...I am nearing last weeks with no name picked out....
Lots of my name choices has not got hubbyss approval.
Not a fan of anything too popular generally.
Our daughter is Kathleen known as Kitty and is a famiky name have found nothing that I like anywhere near as much.
Names that have not had hubbys approval are Florence, Saskia (sassy) Ada,Aurora mm Rory. Beatrix...
Things we are considering..Bonnie (Bea) for short, Penelope (worried too popular?nn Penny), Truly nn Tru, Elizabeth n Liza, Martha (family name like mimi as nn but maybe too similar to Kitty/Kit) love Martha May but apparently that's the griches gf name!? What is your fave/ opinions...any other suggestions?

If I was to have another which I am not I would campaign hard for Bridget nn Bridie or Biddy

I think your suggestion of Penelope Rose nn Posey/Posy would be lovely. Kitty and Posy sound great together!
