Due our first DD in a few weeks and really struggling to pick a name.

Which name do you prefer from the below?

We will have a family MN (either Elizabeth or Beatrice) and have quite a long (3 syllable) surname.

Robin
Sophia
Ella
Lily
Frankie (short for Frances)
Willow

Thank you

Frances (known as Frankie) Elizabeth is lovely.
2nd choice Robin or Robyn

The others are overdone

Sophie Beatrice 10/10
Sophie Elizabeth 10/10
Elizabeth Willow

Like them all except Willow.

continentallentil · 04/09/2023 00:45

Frances Elizabeth
or 2nd choice Robin Beatrice
could tag the other middle name on the end of either if you wanted 3

Rest of them are way overdone - Sophia is lovely, Ella pretty but a bit insubstantial and Lily and Willow somewhat wet (and a bit unfortunate if she turns out solid)

Lois, Esther, Jocelyn, Serena, Cassia, Saskia, Laurel, Jasmine might be others

Frankie
Willow
(Lily/ Ella/Sophia)
Robin

I really like Robin but generally the female version is Robyn, with the male version being Robin.
The only exception I can remember is Robin from How I Met Your Mother.
I like all your name ideas, they're really pretty names that will work at any age.

@munchmagic

that male '' female 'y'went 'out of date' years ago.
@Adviceneeded9

I like Robin Elizabeth 💕

Frances Elizabeth is great

I like Ella best. Lily is also pretty. I think 2 syllables work best if your surname is long. I’d rather go for Sophie instead of Sophia.

Willow is feminine and pretty.

Most of the others are already too popular imo.

I'm not keen on Robin. Maybe because of the Batman Lego Movie.

Robin
Frankie
