Anyone remember Cornelius/Nathaniel? Well he appears to be a girl...

DH suggested Edith when I was pregnant with DS not knowing it was my Nan's name. I wasn't keen then but it has grown on me and I have since discovered that my Gran had an older sister also called Edith who only lived for a short time.

So as a family history addict these names are very meaningful:

Edith nn: Edie
Nancy
Ellen nn: Nell
Rose also one of DH's favourites
Would also love to go for Hepzibah but can't think of suitable nicknames apart from Hep/Hepsy (sound like a blood disease)

My fantasy daughter has always been Stevie, full name Stephanie which possibly fits better with DS's name style but not too bothered about that. DS is Jeremiah but is known most of the time by his initials.

This will be our one and only chance to name a girl so other suggestions very welcome as we never managed to agree last time and were very relieved to have a boy.

Well congratulations!

I love all of your girls names, but if I had to choose one I'd go for Edith

Just don't go for Hepzibah!

I really love all your family names, if i had to pick one it would probably be edie. but they are all gorgeous!

sorry but i really don't like stevie for a girl, it's a 1970's boy's name imho.

could you call hepzibah "hettie"??

Congratulations

Of your choices I like Rose the best
