What do you think of these names? (Brand me harshly with your hot iron of judginess)

First baby, DH won't agree on anything apart from Alice... I don't love it but I'll use it. I tried to compromise by nick naming her Alice and having Alison on the birth cert. Not an option apparently.

I wanted Lydia so badly Angry

Anywhooo, what about middle names? Things I've considered are

Helen (my Mum's name)

Posy (love it, loved the book as a child. Thanks to the other OP)

Diana

Delphine

Athen

Any ideas? What do you think of them?

MrsHath the saviour to all my taxing and baby name needs Grin

Diana is my Nan's name.

I love Lydia so much but reminds DH too much of someone from The only way is Essex

Alison is AWFUL. Seventies awful. Alice is much lovelier. What's wrong with you?

Lydia is fabulous. Are you sure you don't want to put DH under the patio quickly, just to be sure you can use it?

Athen I don't like because I can't work out how to pronounce it. My brain is trying to autocomplete to Athens or Athena.

Delphine is the French donkey in Peppa Pig. Shame, because I like it in the abstract.

Diana I think is still very linked to the late Princess of Wales. Do you have other ties to it? Again, nice in the abstract. Good classical heritage.

Posy - love, although I'd prefer Josephine Alice known as Posy!

Helen - mum's name, absolutely perfect. Why bother having a list? Nice name, great reason.

The end.
