Lucy Elizabeth...
Charlotte Lucy or Charlotte (Lottie) Elizabeth
Larissa ???? (poss. Nell, Beth ...erm what else?)

Two v. safe choices there and one a bit further out... Which would go best with William but also sound v. pleasing in it's own right? Thanks!

I think I'm ruling out Larissa on the basis of this conversation! MunchkinsMum - It must be a sign! Do you know a William and Lucy duo?
liliputlady - I've asked him and he seems to like both...which is good!

I know a William who has a little sister called Harriet

Lucy just edges Charlotte imo. I don't like Larissa half as much as the other two.

Lucy was the name that came into my head before i clicked on the link!

Hulababy · 20/05/2010 18:16

Lucy or Charlotte.

I don't like Larissa, sorry.

liliputlady · 20/05/2010 18:07

Lucy and Charlotte both lovely - maybe William can help decide?!

HecateQueenOfWitches · 20/05/2010 16:37

Abigail?
Francesca?
Elizabeth?
Maria?

But of Lucy and Charlotte, I prefer Charlotte

randomimposter · 20/05/2010 16:35

Of the ones you mention...
Charlotte

William's great BTW!

I love Lucy and Charlotte and TBH there are not as popular now. Don't know anyone under the age of 4 called Lucy or Charlotte. Don't like Larissa.

Thanks, so which out of Lucy and Charlotte has the best vibe/ring do you think?

I know exactly what you mean - my girls' names are a bit more 'out there', but i would want something a bit more standard for a boy.

Larissa is ok but I love both Charlotte and Lucy and while they're popular, at least they are timeless and not faddish.

Hedwig3 · 20/05/2010 15:49

William and Lucy sound perfect!

I only know 1 Lucy aged 8 and 1 aged 30.

My only problem with Lucy and Charlotte (although I like them both) is that they are really popular atm I think. I wanted a v. 'normal' boy's name but would kind of prefer something a bit more unusual for a girl but also a name that people know how to spell and doesn't sound pretentious or far out! However, maybe I should stick with classic, solid girls' names.
