The bump is of unknown gender. We have a boy's name but can't decided on a girl. Between us, we've come up with this list - some I prefer, some the other half. What if anything jumps out? Are there other names that we haven't thought of along these lines?

Girls
Anna
Clemency
Cordelia
Dulcie
Edith
Eleanor
Francesca
Harriet
Isobel
Kate
Laurie
Maria
Meredith
Nancy
Rowan
Ruth
Sophia
Thea

I have 3 dds and 2 of their names are on your list,Grin they are mostly all lovely, I don't like Edith or Nancy.

Anna - nice
Clemency - something I like about it, yes
Cordelia - really like, and LOVED AOGG - Is your boy name Gilbert?? :)
Dulcie - I like it, but if it were very common I think I would go off it, which is not the case with a lot of names! If that makes sense?
Edith - like
Eleanor - LOVE Nell as a nn - vetoed by DH :(
Francesca - like nn Frankie
Harriet - like
Isobel - bored of it, sorry
Kate - love, sod the Wedding, it's gorgeous
Laurie - not sure
Maria - nice, West Side Story massively
Meredith - I'm a bitch, I'm a lover
Nancy - from Oliver Twist. But I like it
Rowan - Atkinson - unfortunately because I really like the name!
Ruth - A name I irrationally can't stand, SORRY
Sophia - beautiful, my DH's favourite
Thea - gorgeous, one of my faves!!

I meant to say, Rowan is also because of being a Marlow!

Right, very helpful, although obviously a spread of opinions. But it's nice to see so many supporters of each name. Can't please everyone I know, but nothing seems to be completely panned.

No Gilbert involved at all, I can confirm. I don't think DH would go down that route.

I did wonder if your Ruth, Nancy, and Dorothea were also book related.

I'm really warming to Dorothea actually, and think Thea is great.
