Hello,

Baby girl no 2 due next week, we can't agree on a name for her. We have a short list of names we both like but we can't agree on what her name will be. Big sister is Abigail.

Our short list is
Hannah
Jessica
Beth
Lydia

Any advice or suggestions very welcome.

Chloe
Sophie
Eliza

Jessica is just perfect with Abigail :)

I like all of your other name ideas too.

I know an Abigail and Evelyn (Abbie and Evie) which is also nice.

Other ideas

Eliza
Harriet
Imogen
Caroline
Georgia
Lucy
Vivien
Francesca
Florence

Jessica

The minute I saw the title my mind immediately said Jessica, then I read your opening post and saw your list and lo and behold Jessica was 2nd on the list. So despite liking your other suggestions, I am sticking with Jessica as my favourite.

As soon as I saw the title I was going to suggest Jessica as I think Abigail & Jessica go so nicely together!

Also like Lydia very much and the other two names are also very pretty

Another name which I think matches nicely with Abigail is Julia

I like all your choices except Lydia. Probably because of the Lydia Chlamydia rhyming thing.

Other suggestions would be: -

Sarah
Emily
Sophie
Faye
Fern
Ellen

Love Beth, it’s a timeless classic but not so much of a fan of the others which all feel quite 90s/early 00s. Lydia has a very harsh and unpleasant sound to it.

Jessica is lovely. All your choices are but in the same vein, how about:
Matilda
Florence
Eloise
Rosalind (Rosa)
Charlotte
Harriet
Phoebe
