Our baby girl is due end of January and we cannot decide on a name!

We’ve narrowed it down to three!
Philippa “Pippa”
Matilda “Tilly”
Verity

Her middle name will be Faith.
Any thoughts on the first name? :)

Verity is my fave, although I like all of them

PaperdollCartoon · 14/11/2017 22:31

I like them all, but not the nn Tilly

AnneEyhtMeyer · 14/11/2017 22:31

Verity Faith, nn New Order.

Matilda Faith.

Verity is rather "ferrety" to my ears, and I'm not a fan of Philippa at all.

Agree with PP that Verity Faith doesn't work.

Matilda Faith for me.

I don't like the two 'f' sounds in Philippa Faith, and I'd avoid the nickname Pippa because it doesn't travel well.

I'm not keen on Verity Faith either - having two virtue names would be a lot to live up to!

I love them all. Not helpful at all, sorry!

If I absolutely had to pick it would very marginally Verity.

Philippa. There are a lot of Mathilda around here. I think Pippa is lovely.

I know three adult Philippa’s and they all hate it though...
