Love Meredith and Merry is very fitting for the time of year she’s born. Many congratulations!!

Sophronia · 22/12/2018 23:11

Congrats! I like Meredith.

squirrelnutkins1 · 22/12/2018 21:38

Meredith or Etta.

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 22/12/2018 21:30

Lucy.

Pinkkittens292 · 22/12/2018 21:19

Meredith - I really like. I know of two aged 13 and 6.
Jocelyn - Love this. I know of one little one, shortened to Jossie.
Etta - I like, but would probably use as a short form of Henrietta.
Lucy - My favourite on your list. It's a name that never seems to go out of favour. I named my angel baby this.
Verity - I'm not over keen, sorry. x

Etta 💕

RedDwarves · 22/12/2018 20:25

Love Lucy. It's a fabulous name.

Congrats! Smile

Verity

I love Lucy. Was on my shortlists both times but I had sons.

Jocelyn is also very nice.

HarrietM87 · 22/12/2018 19:58

Lucy

Ikeameatballs · 22/12/2018 19:58

I don’t like Jocelyn and not keen on Etta.

I like the others, it really depends upon how they flow with your surname.

Westwing1 · 22/12/2018 19:55

Lucy/Lucinda or Meredith. Congratulations!

Sarahandduck18 · 22/12/2018 19:52

Verity

Petalflowers · 22/12/2018 19:50

Love Meredith.

What about Lucinda or Lucille, with Lucy as a nn?

Santababyclaus · 22/12/2018 19:47

Lucy

Cosmoa · 22/12/2018 19:45

Jocelyn ❤️

NotNowAudrey · 22/12/2018 19:29

Other names I like are Erin, Ivy, Polly, felicity, Nina, norah, olive, rose and Xanthe

MumUnderTheMoon · 22/12/2018 18:23

All lovely, what about lucette or lucetta it would give you the feel of two of the names you like.

diddl · 22/12/2018 15:31

Etta is by far the best.

FestiveNut · 22/12/2018 15:05

Love Meredith. My DH vetoed it. Sad

ernjas · 22/12/2018 15:01

Etta!!!

17caterpillars1mouse · 22/12/2018 13:40

Love Meredith and Jocelyn. I would choose one of those. Lucy as mn?

Congratulations

MikeUniformMike · 22/12/2018 13:36

Go with Lucy. It's classic. Meredith and Joscelyn are a bit masculine. Verity sounds like Ferrety and Etta will be Etta Sandwich or something.

Thank you, just the comments I was looking for-food for thought:)
She’s chunky, dark haired & will have blue eyes. I’m pushing for Lucy but other half not up for it!
