Hiya everyone,
I’m due a baby girl in the next 2 weeks so time is running out! We have a shortlist but I’m just not massively convinced by any or can find a negative to each one! Middle name will be Elizabeth as it’s a family tradition on my side.
Which of the following would you choose? Any other suggestions? Any names you love but didn’t get to use?
Jemima
Georgina
Beatrice
Charlotte
Rebecca
Naomi
Thanks guys! x

All are lovely. I would decide based on which name you’re happiest with all the obvious shortenings, as you only get to control that for a while.

From what you say about which shortenings you like , my order would be-

  1. Beatrice - “Bea”
  2. Naomi - doesn’t tend to get shortened - do you mind the different pronunciations?
  3. Georgina - if you like Georgie / Ginny / Gia
  4. Jemima - if you like Jem
  5. Rebecca - if you like Bec /Becky
  6. Charlotte - is a no as you don’t like the shortenings

Beatrice Elizabeth “Bea” gets my vote!

Other ideas - Harriet, Georgia, Matilda, Annabel, Philippa “Pippa”, Imogen “Immy”, Evelyn, Penelope, Abigail, Jessica, Jennifer “Jenny” (wildcard as it’s unusual these days, but I love it!)

Naomi Elizabeth is great.
I also like Nora which goes with your names.

user2848502016 · 20/11/2025 22:21

I like Charlotte and Rebecca best
Charlotte probably goes better with Elizabeth

WanderlustMom · 20/11/2025 22:18

Georgina

I have a Jemima. It will be shortened eventually whether you like it or not, she'll go to school or nursery or whatever and make her own friends and relationships and it'll happen even if you always call her by her full name. I'm not a fan of Jem, but I like Mima, so we leaned into that :) always get compliments on how lovely and unusual the name is.

buzzybea25 · 20/11/2025 22:11

I can't see Naomi without having to think I MOAN to spell it. Probably just me though.

I would pick Jemima as gorgeous and definitely not a dog name. 😂

Ikeameatballs · 20/11/2025 22:05

Jemima is my favourite followed by Beatrice known as Bea.

I do like Rebecca but there are so many variations of nick names that you’d need to be happy with?

Mandarinaduck · 20/11/2025 22:02

Naomi is lovely, that would be my choice.

Georgina, it’s so timeless ❤️

SemmaLina · 20/11/2025 21:54

And , Rover is a dogs name ! Jemima is not

SemmaLina · 20/11/2025 21:53

For once , I like all the names , least favourite is Naomi , but it goes really nicely with Elizabeth
Nicknames
Georgina = Gina , Genie
Rebecca = Rebel , Becca

timoteigirl · 20/11/2025 21:49

Absolute NO to Jemima. Naomi is not the prettiest name either. What about Georgiana?

I read them all out loud and Georgina Elizabeth sounded nicest to me, and felt smoother to say.

Spudlover · 20/11/2025 21:31

Beatrice or Charlotte.

Lightswitchy · 20/11/2025 21:28

it needs a 2 syllable first name with elizabeth
Lottie Elizabeth
Becky Elizabeth
Briar Elizabeth
Georgie Elizabeth
Ivy Elizabeth
Nova Elizabeth

HighburyHope · 20/11/2025 21:17

Love your style. I know a Jemima/“Jem” and a Georgina known as Georgie.

How about Caroline Elizabeth, Helena Elizabeth, Rosanna Elizabeth or Susanna Elizabeth?

Of your list my favourites would be Jemima and Charlotte.

Tammygirl12 · 20/11/2025 21:12

I don’t like Naomi. I like all the others. The first few in the list go better with Elizabeth. Charlotte Elizabeth is nice! I also really like Beatrice
