I have an Iris, a Beatrice and an Elspeth and need some help with potential DD4, (we have a boys name).

The list is currently:
Agatha
Verity
Tabitha
Cecelia
Cornelia.

Thoughts? Any other suggestions?

Thanks.

I like your names, but I'm not keen on Tabitha. I like Cornelia and Cecelia a lot. I would have suggested Agnes, too, but I see that's vetoed. Cecily? Marjorie? Louisa? Marian?

CharlotteC77 · 13/01/2018 19:05

Tabitha's a lovely name. It doesn't jump out at me from your list, but the more I think about it, the more I like it.

Thought of Tabatha when I saw all names, it fits really well or Saskia

I love Josephine - such an elegant name and has a range of different nicknames to suit different personalities (Jo, Posy, Sephie, Joey).

I like Josephine actually.

There’s no love for Tabitha.

I think either a one-syllable name or a longer name would work well.

Rose
Blythe
Kate
Wren
June

Penelope
Persephone
Theodora
Josephine

But I also like Ivy and Mary with your other names.

Verity. I also suggest Genvieve or Arabella.

I love Constance, but we also used that as a middle name. Hmm

I wondered about Cornelia, Connie for short.

Agnes was on the list, but a pregnant friend said she was going to use so I thought I’d take it off the list.

Not keen on Mabel I’m afraid.
Eilidh is the Scots for my name I believe...

EmmaGrundyForPM · 13/01/2018 18:48

Verity is lovey. Or Violet?

I've NC as a giveaway

I have an Agatha Grin we've met one other, she was also very cool

Navegante · 13/01/2018 18:42

I like Verity and pp of Honor.

Agnes
Stella
Frida
Hermione
Clara

AnthonyJoshuasMrs · 13/01/2018 18:38

How about Agnes instead of Agatha. Love Nessie for a pet name.

Mabel also suits your existing 3. Or Vivienne. Or Honor.

My current fave is Eilidh but not sure it sits so well with your vibe

Uvegot2bkidding · 13/01/2018 18:32

I like Cecily

Agatha is awful sorry. Dowdy harsh and frumpy. It just makes me think of the Truchbull.

I know, I know. I don’t know why I like this name so much.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 13/01/2018 18:30

Verity is the nicest out of your girls names. Tabitha is okay
I like Celia rather than CeCelia.
Cornelia is very harsh.
Like pps suggestion of Rosa then you have 2 short names and 2 long names.
Agatha is awful sorry. Dowdy harsh and frumpy. It just makes me think of the Truchbull.

Further Suggestions.
Matilda.
Harriet
Sarah
Felicity
Meredith
Vivienne
Bronte
Teresa
Flora
Laura
Anna
Lilıa

Grace is a middle name too! We went a bit over the top and they’ve all got two middle names.

I have toyed with Ophelia, I do like it...

We can’t use Nina, Nancy or Rosa unfortunately. One of the girls has Violet as a middle name.

Thanks for the comments.
