We have two girls already, Philippa, nn Pippa, and India. Found out baby number three is also a girl! …but not sure on a name yet, want something with a similar feel but can’t decide.

Ideas currently include:
Theodora (nn Dora)
Susanna (nn Susan)
Hallie
Clara
Beatrice
Eleanore (nn Nell/Nellie)
Winifred (nn Winnie? Freddy?)
Josephine (nn Jo)
Ramona
Darcy
Mary
Florence (don’t really like the nn Flo though)
Felicity
Lowena
Peggy
Iona
Shirley
Libby (would probably have to be a nn for Elizabeth though which I’m not sure on..)
Etta (Could this be a nn for Edith?)
Sybil
Helena
Ruth

They’re all kind of all over the place

Iona is my fav and would have been our pick if we hadn't had two DSs! Also you might like Flora? I know a very lovely Flora IRL.

I do like Agnes although I don’t think you hear it much these days, Francesca is also a good alternative to the Florence/Felicity theme. Haven’t thought of Calista, that’s a nice one.

Also quite like Jemima, Antonia, and Vivienne!

Elspeth is really lovely too, and love the idea of Florrie as a nn for Florence as I dont love the typical “Fliss” it tends to get. Also meant to put an h at the end of Susannah as they’ve said! Oops! Really been into that one recently… been watching some old films.

Out of your list, I think Susannah, Eleanor or Beatrice go best. You’ve got lots of lovely names on your list already, my suggestions would be Clementine or Elspeth. I know someone with a daughter Florence, her nn is Florrie.
