Matilda, Annabelle, Beatrice and ???

I'm pregnant with girl number 4.

Older girls are Matilda, Annabelle and Beatrice. They go by Maddie, Annie and Trixie. Maddie was originally Mattie but somehow she became Maddie, I know it's not a traditional nickname for Matilda.

We had picked Eleanor and were working on middle names. However, my cousin had her daughter this morning and called her an almost identical name, so we are back to the drawing board.

Our "Rules" are:
3 syllables
Doesn't start with M, A or B (no repeat initials)
Can be shortened.

What do you suggest?

Lena/Lina could also be another nickname

Evalina would go with your existing name choices. Alse, the nickname can be Eva or Evie and I think it's quite a classy name.

Matilda, Annabelle, Beatrice & Evalina

@Whatsyourflava Are you MOD?

AriadneCrete · 01/02/2020 09:44

I know a lovely Jemima and childhood friends call her Mimi.

My suggestions:
Harriet (Hattie)
Camilla (Millie)
Lydia (Lydi)

4 syllables as opposed to 3:
Persephone (Sephy)
Penelope (Penny)
Ophelia (Lia)

I think you need whatever makes the nn Nell as that would work so well - Maddie, Annie, Trixie & Nell. So probably Helena nn Nell (as Eleanor is out).

DramaAlpaca · 31/01/2020 22:43

Imogen or Rosalind

Mrsmartinkemp · 31/01/2020 22:21

Josephine

Astronica · 31/01/2020 22:16

For Tabitha you could also use Tibby (too close to Trixie?), Beth, Bethie. Ettie and Hetty are other options for Harriet.

These are probably already mentioned but:
Camilla/Milly
Cressida/ Cressy
Josephine/Posy
Genevieve/Vivi or Evie
Eugenie/Genie
Estella/Essie, Estie, Ellie
Dorothy/Dolly, Dodie, Dottie
Rosamund/Rosie, Romy
Lucinda/Lucy, Lucie
Susannah/Suky, Susy
Eponine/Eppie, Penny

TitilatedOcelot · 31/01/2020 22:04

Jennifer, Louisa, Claudia, Francesca, Susannah

If Beatrice is Trixie does that rule T names out under the no repeat letters rule?
