3 syllable girl's name needed please!

hi, I've name changed because DS's name is quite unusual and I don't want people to work out who I am!

DS is Theodore and we've just found out we're expecting a DD

so, oh wise ladies of MN, what would you suggest for her please? My preference would be for a 3 syllable name that has the option to shorten for a nn

thanks all

Oh congratulations - I didn't know (did I ), but what wonderful news !! Oh I very much look forward to the thread(s) on that one. Will you find out the sex so that we can at least narrow down our debate?!

We are ok I think if it's a girl - choice of 2 which I am fine with, esp as I reckon it will be another boy, but if it is a boy then we are still on a longer shortlist that excludes my absolute faves. Tbh we have given up discussing it of late!

dizzydixies · 23/04/2010 20:51

well I hope you're keeping well, have you got this one's name sorted out?? I'm only 13wks so have a while to go yet before the big name debate that will undoubtably occur

OP - apologies for hijack but tough

CantSleepWontSleep · 23/04/2010 20:49

. I'm sure that I should know too dizzy. There's someone with a Theodore on the tip of my tongue!

Still 9.5 weeks to go for me my lovely. Seems so near and yet so far!

dizzydixies · 23/04/2010 20:46

CSWS - I know my audience very well and she'd better at least consider them if I've suggested them

how are you darling? have you got long to go?
