Hi everyone,

I have a baby girl due in just over 4 weeks and we still have no name for her!

Her older sister is called Constance Grace Berry ( Connie for short) and I would like this baby to have Joy ( after my nan) as her middle name...

so blank Joy Berry .. please someone help me fill in the blank!!!!

I knew of a Constance whose sisters were Mabel, Florence and Edith. I love all those.

I thin Patience is too much like Constance; Nancy is also a bit like Constance isn't it? (not if she's known as Connie tho).

How about Madeleine, Amelia, yes Harriet I like too. Cecilia? or best to avoid same initial.

Eleanor Joy Berry?
Think this sounds beautiful

Phillipa Joy Berry
Eleanor Joy Berry
Antonia Joy Berry
Harriet Joy Berry
Alexandra Joy Berry
Elouise Joy Berry

Ah yes, may I also suggest Cordelia as an excellent name.

of course you do CSWS - you have great taste

castille · 12/03/2010 08:49

I love Constance and Millicent!

Madeleine or Sophia?

CantSleepWontSleep · 12/03/2010 08:40

I like Cecilia, Patience, Millicent and Penelope best from those suggested.

Whilst I love Verity and Felicity, I don't think you want something ending in an 'ee' sound with your surname.

You could go all Chalet School, where the Maynard triplets are Helena, Constance and Margaret (shortened to Len, Con and Margot).

Though I prefer Verity, myself.

Someone I know is Constance, her little sister is Margot (can be Margaux).

diddl · 10/03/2010 08:29

Harriet,
Verity,
Patience?

Tillyscoutsmum · 10/03/2010 08:20

My immediate thoughts were Beatrice, Florence and Felicity. I think Connie and Bea or Connie & Flick/Fliss sound lovely.
