Hello
I am due in October, we don't know what we're having. We have a 4 year old Penelope and what I like about Penelope is the sort of 1970s Penelope Keith, Penelope Pitstop, Thelwell's Penelope, Penelope Mortimer vibe. (not the Kardashian connection which I was completely oblivious to until the midwife let me know at delivery!!)
I'm looking for a fairly classic name that has just a hint of upper crust, but not a Fenella or Araminta that would sound incongruous in most settings.
I like grown up names with cute nicknames.
Below are my current lists - a couple of these I can't get past DH so they are on the list more to show the style we are after.
We are planning not to name the babe until they are here and see what fits so looking for some more suggestions to add to the field from you clever ladies please!!!
On my list for girls is:
Susanna nn Suzie, Annie
Caroline nn Carrie
Jemima nn Mima
Josephine nn Josie
Boys:
Robin nn Bobby
Frances nn Fran
Jesse nn Jess (a bit of a wildcard this one I guess)
Thanks so much!
