I don't mind Adrianne but don't like Adrianna. They might get Ade or Annie/Anne as a nn but hard to predict.

Katerina?

Not keen OP, but love Arianna or Anna.

Anna?

What does everyone think of Adrianne? Or Adrianna? What would they get for short?

Matilda is lovely.
We had Francesca, Bethany and Iris on our list for a girl (bump is blue though!)

I wanted was desperate but DH vetoed a Matilda and had Penelope on my list. I ended up with a little Ada.

My friend is pregnant with a LG and I have to resist telling her all the names I like as I know she's already picked one! My current favourites are

Astrid // Alexa (Lexi) // Erin // Eva // Lydia // Imogen // Isobel

I am also a Garth Nix fan and I love the idea of Liri, short for Lirael.

Penelope is nice... on my list too.
