If I like Nancy and Sylvie...

Hello 👋

I am expecting my second dd and my husband and I are struggling with names.
We really like Nancy and Sylvie but have been recently used by one close friend and one family member. We have drawn a blank.
There are some names I quite like and some names my husband quite likes but nothing jumps out at us. They are;

Lottie
Rose
Wren
Florence
Mae

Our first DD is Jean

Thank you!

My favourite from your list is Rose. I also like Daisy and Iris as flower names.

HainaultViaNewburyPark · 25/08/2018 09:04

Audrey, Hazel, Margot or Olive?

(Or just call her Anne and use Nancy as a nickname if you really like it).

pouraglasshalffull · 25/08/2018 09:01

Rose is such a beautiful name, I also really like the name Rosa

I actually really like Wren too, but it doesn't really go with Jean

Cbeebiesrehab · 25/08/2018 08:56

None of them come close to Jean imo!! I do like Rose though. Common middle name but not so much for a first name. Think Rosa sounds better with Jean though.
