Please tell me what they are.

Have decided to start afresh.

DH is pretty easy so it's ultimately up to me.

Two syllable 'S' surname very similar to 'Simpson', in fact, I get called Simpson all the time! So if it goes with Simpson, it goes with ours.

TIA.

I can give you me and my sisters' girls' names in no particular order because I think they're all fab.

My sisters' and my names: Eleanor, Catherine, Elizabeth (so many shortenings possible), Victoria

Our daughters:

Felicity
Cecilia
Colette
Arabella
Seraphina
Madeleine

I also like
Matilda, Theodora, Dominica, Estella, Tabitha, Josephine, Ophelia, inexplicably Calypso don't know why- just have a thing about it, Agatha

Practically everything would go with your surname and I'm sure you'll choose something fab!
