Currently expecting DC3 and think we are almost decided name for a boy.

However, girls names are proving more difficult. Please could I have your opinions on our shortlist for girls? Surname is a 2 syllable name beginning with W.

So far we have:

Talia (pronounced Tally-a)
Romilly
Jemima
Zinnia

Middle name ideas are Juliet or Eloise

Romilly and Jemima. Why not Eloise as a first name?

ChocolateCrunch · 10/03/2018 07:06

Jemima is one of my favourite names.

I love Jemima and Zinnia!

I like Romilly and Jemima.

Not too keen on Zinnia, sorry.

And I prefer Juliet over Elouise

Talia-I’ve only ever heard this pn as Tarlia so I wouldn’t use it if you wanted Tally-a.
Romilly-Pretty straightforward and can't think of any negative connotations.
Jemima-I like it but consider it will make lots think of Aunt Jemima or Jemima Puddleduck.
Zinnia-lovely flowers!

I prefer Romilly Juliet or Zinnia Eloise.

I know a Talia, pronounced Tally a, she does get annoyed at being called Tarrlia. Some people just don't listen! But it is a really pretty name.

I'd go Talia Eloise

Bastardingcough · 10/03/2018 06:45

Yep, I'd say Tah-lia.
Jemima Eloise is nice.

What about Clementine?

Talia (pronounced Tally-a) - People will constantly pronounce this as 'Tar-lia' so that may annoy you.
Romilly - Cute name, maybe a bit too cutesy. Like that you can get Roma or Milly as nicknames.
Jemima - puddle duck.
Zinnia - sounds like a brand of watch.
