To go with sister Imogen. Middle name likely to be Emilia.

Thanks x

Sophie Emilia.
Sounds lovely with Imogen

Littlemum2be86 · 02/05/2018 06:55

Beatrice nn Bea is lovely. Sophie probably goes better with Imogen though if that bothers you.

chezmk1988 · 22/04/2018 21:50

To go with Imogen I'd pick sophie

VanessaShanessaJenkins · 22/04/2018 21:47

Not a fan of Bea at all and I know a few so it's certainly not uncommon. Sophie is an awesome name Wink
Charlotte is ok.

Everyone has different tastes though so go with that one you like.

People judging names by their popularity is madness. I teach 500 young children and in 2 classes I have double names of names I've never even met another child with. I bet their parents didn't think there would be another in their class when they named them! I teach a handful of popular names like Sophie yet don't have any classes with more than one.

Beatrice

gwen25 · 22/04/2018 21:37

Definitely Beatrice!

TatianaLarina · 22/04/2018 19:28

My sister used to call me ‘Indomitable Bea’ from Hideous Kinky.

TatianaLarina · 22/04/2018 19:26

It’s funny that Beatrice is suddenly so fashionable. It’s one of my middle names, and no-one was called Beatrice in the 70s.

NorthernLurker · 22/04/2018 19:13

I've got a Bea. It's a lovely name. Such a nice short and Beatrice is a great grown up name when they need it.

Beatrice

Daisiesinthepark · 22/04/2018 19:08

Sophie, that's on my shortlist for middle name. I think sounds lovely.

Sophie

Surinamtoad · 22/04/2018 18:19

I have a Beatrice, and am still happy with that choice. Currently don't know any others, she's 2.5.

daisypond · 22/04/2018 18:09

Beatrice is my favourite. I like Sophie as well. Not keen on Charlotte at all.

CookieDoughKid · 22/04/2018 17:04

All lovely names but very common now. In our school the last few years have received numerous girls with this name. They are beautiful and classic so go with what your heart says

Fridasfridgefreezer · 22/04/2018 17:03

Beatrice would have been dd3’s name had she not been a boy. Love it.

BringMeCoffeePlease · 22/04/2018 17:02

Beatrice 100%

Sophronia · 22/04/2018 17:01

Beatrice

Pemba · 22/04/2018 16:42

Sophie is gorgeous, Charlotte is nice (although prefer the full name to the short form Lottie). Dislike Beatrice really, although I suppose it goes well with Imogen (which is lovely) as they are both names from Shakespeare.

Peachbubble · 22/04/2018 13:25

Charlotte or Sophie

TatianaLarina · 22/04/2018 12:49

Beatrice goes much better with Imogen - and they’re two Shakespearean female characters.

Way too many Sophies and Sophias in the world.

I’d feel a bit short changed if I got a very common name and my sister got a more unusual one.

starzig · 22/04/2018 12:48

I love Lottie. But would probably call her Lottie that rather than Charlotte if that's what I intended for her to be called.

RLOU88 · 22/04/2018 12:45

Sophie was the name I had picked for a DD

HerculesM · 22/04/2018 12:44

I love Sophie and it goes beautifully with Imogen!
