Due on Friday and still undecided for girl's names. Shortlist is:
Lydia
Katherine (poss shortened to Katie?)
Ivy

Middle name will be Rose (family reasons) and surname is 4 syllables beginning with 'Sh'.

Thoughts please?!

Like all 3 - favourite is Lydia.
But just leave it as a short list and wait for baby to arrive - then I think one of them will jump out as being right for your baby...

Don't shorten Katherine to Katie, it's really fucking irritating explaining that every fucking day for a whole life. If you like Katie, choose Katie.

Speaking from bitter experience

Lydia Rose.
Those names go together lovely.

Katherine, without a shadow of a doubt.

Lydia as it goes best with Rose imo

I have a Katherine - it suited her as a wee one and she carries it very well as an uber-cool 16 year old "art babe" (her words). Brilliant name. She often goes by Kathy now.

All beautiful, and all go very well with Rose. Maybe Ivy as the front runner..

I love Katherine! My second choice would be Ivy.
Don't like Lydia I'm afraid

chocoLit · 04/09/2016 11:07

They're all lovely. Just see what she looks like.

Lydia
Ivy

(Love them both.)

Don't like Katherine. I find it dull.

FloatyFlo · 04/09/2016 11:03

Love Ivy!

JenniferAnistonsHair · 04/09/2016 11:02

Out of the three, Lydia would be my choice :)
