Baby girl number 4!

[perpetuallypregnant]

Is due early may :)

I keep coming back to names I loved with the others and I think I love Marianne - what's the consensus? Plus I need a middle name. Surname is b e nnett meaning I'll probably look like an Austin freak :)

Marianne Elizabeth
Marianne Sophia
Marianne ?...

Also on sl is Anna, Elizabeth, Susie, Sophia and annalise.

Opinions please and be honest!

Congrats!! :)

I like Anna, Elizabeth and Susie. Not so keen on the others (and think marianne/marianna and annalise/annalisa cause some pronunciation issues because of the possible change of last vowel, although that shouldn't stop you calling her by that name)

What are your other DDs called?

All really lovely names.

Marianne and Ana are my favourites. Have you considered Marianna/Mariana?

I like Susie short for Susannah.

sorry, Anna

Thanks - other dcs have pretty popular names, actually very popular names :)
Ds Cameron
Jessica Morgan
Lily emma
Ava rose

Have probably totally outed myself now!

You can always have it deleted later :)

They are lovely names. Of your current list, I like Marianne, Anna, Elizabeth and Sophia best.

Not really v keen on Susie, just because I don't like nn names. Annalise is a tiny bit meh, IME.

Good luck!

elizabeth with bennett is a bit much maybe? marianne is nice, actually all of them are. for susie i would put it susannah and susie for short, as you seem to like anna anyway then it kind of fits and gives it a full name?
my favourite with your other dc names would be sophia

What does meh mean?

Congratulations!

Do you have feelings over whether dc should have different initials or not? If not, fwiw I love Anna, if you would prefer they had different initials then Sophia gets my vote. I think Anna Elizabeth Bennett or Sophia Marianne/a Bennett are both lovely...

You know - meh - a bit meh. Undescript. Not very anything.

Marianne is gorgeous. My mythical dd3 is called Marianne Darcy Ghoul - nice, non? :)

Marianne Elizabeth is nice
Marianne Elinor (if you don't mind the Austen link!)
Marianne Beatrice
Marianne Louisa
Marianne Isabella

Oh I see. Thought is was an acronym.

My sister is Anna Elizabeth and I think that goes really well. My other favourite on your list is Sophia - maybe Sophia Grace???

I love Marianne. Use that. I'll never get to. Stupid DH doesn't like it.

Marianne Louise?

Thanks all. I love love Anna but Im just not sure if it's 'the one' and I like Marianne as it gives us the option of Anna as a nn.

My Ava is only 7 months so they are constantly going to be referred to together so in that respect I think Ava and Anna go nicely.

Gah... Life would have been so much easier she had been a George :)

Oh and spidookly, I've wanted a Claudia for 13 years since dd1 was born but dh is adamant!!! Every daughter we have I think he'll change his mind but sadly its not to be :(

Oh, Claudia is lovely.

What is wrong with these men? :o

I don't like Ava and Anna so much. Nice names individually, but as names for a pair of children, no. Too many a's.

I love Marianne, Anna, Annelise, Susannah.

Oh, Claudia is by far the best!

Lucia?

From your list I like Sophia & Marianne.

Love Marianne. All nice names.

Avoid Sophia as first name. It is waaaaaaaay too popular
