Currently pregnant with baby number 4. Trying to come up with a shortlist but we’ve drawn a blank 😫 can’t think of any.

Don’t know the sex so suggestions of both please.

Dc are called Leonard, Stanley and Amelia. Not particularly bothered about ‘matchy’ Names but more along those lines than Stormi, Jayden or Balonz.

(Ps if anyone recognises me from my children’s names, please ssshhh as I’m not telling anyone until after my anatomy scan due to previous loss)

Our gerbil is Irene! (After Irene Adler - the other one is mr Holmes.

Daphne is pretty, and Delphine.

Nancy is in both sides of the family in the older generation so it might be a contender.

Got a good list going so far, thanks!

I don't think you need to worry about Elizabeth being Liz. Short forms of Elizabeth go in cycles. Older teenagers i know are called things like Libby. Young children are called things like Betty or Elsie or Eliza. Liz is more a name associated with older people. I know a Lizzie, who's in her 30s. I love Elspeth.
How about Irene? Similar to Iris. Or Daphne?
Victor instead of Vincent?

@TJsAunt Vincent is nice, I like the Vinny nn but is Lenny and Vinny too much?

Also like Iris but our surname ends in ‘is’ and will rhyme Sad

Not really bothered about the popularity aspect if it’s the ‘right’ name. My Amelias name has has been in the top 3 since she was about 6/7 and we genuinely don’t know any others.

For boys I reckon
Vincent
Edmond
Walter
Frank
Gilbert

For girls
Iris
Ida

think Eleanor is lovely but maybe too many Ellie/Ella's around?

Elsie also lovely as a shortening of Elspeth - but again watch out as there must now be lot so little Elsa's?

I like Violet!
I like Elizabeth but is it inevitable that she would become a ‘Liz’? That’s most of my mums friends name 😫

I also like Martha but don’t want to use it.
I’m a huge Dr Who fan and already have an Amelia, who was a dr who companion (even though she was named before Amelia pond was in it) so cant really use Martha, Clara, rose, Rory (which I also love)

I'd say use Elisabeth as Elspeth sounds like that name said by someone who has a lisp.

What do people think of Elspeth?

I like the shortening of Elsie but do like having a ‘proper’ name on the BC.

(We only shorten Leonard to Lenny, the other two go by their full name)

I love Albert, but it would have been the name of the baby I lost if it had have been a boy. (Florence or Juliet for a girl) so it feels a bit weird to use it for this baby.
