Hi!

Struggling to choose a name for dc3 (dd). We already have a Hattie (Harriet) and an Angus.

List (in alphabetical order) is: (favourites with )
Clara

Eleanor (not Ellie)*
Elizabeth (Eliza? Lily? Beth?)*
Genevieve (Ginny)*
Jocelyn (Joss)
Meredith

I -love- Cecily best of all but DH vetoed. We both love Charlotte but DH vetoed as too popular currently.

Any thoughts on these or suggestions of others which might work? Thanks.

Clara!

Hattie, Angus and Clara sound so lovely together

I also really like Meredith and Jocelyn

I don't think you could avoid Ellie with Eleanor. I love Ginny but I always think Genevieve sounds stuck up

I love Genevieve and Ginny! Cecily would have been lovely, shame your DH doesn't like it.

I think Clara and Meredith go especially nicely with your other children's names.

How about Beatrice, Evelyn, Juliet, Josephine, Verity...?

I like all from your list apart from Jocelyn. But Eleanor will definitely be shortened by others to Ellie.

Love Genevieve and Meredith.

I think there's a high chance that Eleanor will be shortened to Elle or Ellie.
