So I've posted quite a few names on here, but still no nearer Confused
Me and DH both liked Elsie to begin with, but all the negative comments about it being twee etc have put me off slightly.
I liked Lucy but DH won't agree to that one as mil has a dog named Lucy and he doesn't like Lucinda as an alternative.
Considered Isabel but just not sure.
I like Rosie but one of my best friends is using that if she has a girl (although she's not ttc for a couple of years) still - she would disown me
So now I'm considering Lily which I think has a similar feel to Elsie, Rosie and Lucy. It's simple, pretty and I think it goes with brother William. What are your thoughts?

Lily is lovely but so is Elsie. Don't let people put you off.. just think of the names they probably like that you wouldn't.

Lily is definitely the nicest of the bunch (lol). Goes great with William too!

I like it, Lily & William sound good together.

Lily is much nicer than Elsie, Rosie, Lucy or Lucinda imo Smile.

I know an adult Lily in her mid thirties and she is lovely and very chic.

I love the name Lily
Beautiful

I really like Elsie too though and am sad you've been put off a name you both loved. Prefer Lily though if I'm honest but like both
