Sister for Edward (Ted)

We already have an Edward Arthur. If we have another boy it will be Henry George (to be known as Harry). We are totally stuck on girls' names....

We like:

Evelyn (middle name Rosalia - but worried Evie too common)
Elodie (inevitably will be Ellie which I don't like)
Nancy (middle name Blossom - going off Nancy as a name though)
Lola (no idea on middle name)

Any ideas???

Evelyn is my favourite - would you pronounce it 'Eve-lyn or Ev-e-lyn'? Just interested, I like both! And I like Rosalia as a middle, but prefer Rosalie! :)

I love Nancy (especially as a nn for Constance) and Blossom is a cute nn.
I dislike Lola, and Evelyn (dislike Evie myself, and would worry it would become a in once in school)
I like Elodie, and I don't think she would necessarily become Ellie, it certainly would not occur to me, but of course, you have no say over what their friends call them at school.
In order - Nancy, Elodie, Evelyn and way down the list Lola.

Nancy for me, lovely. I dislike Blossom as a mn though.

How about Nancy Evelyn? I like Nancy Cordelia personally.

Would avoid anything Twi-lighty with an Edward & think there is a Rosalie? Ted is a brill nn btw.

Love Edward, and Nancy is my favourite from your listSmile

Evelyn and it's diminutives are very popular at the mo, Elodie is lovely but like you I abhor the nn Ellie, and Lola is also on the up popularity wise.

A few more suggestions for you:

Alice
Anna
Beatrice
Clara
Cora
Helena
Jemima
Kitty
Mabel
Martha
Olive
Ruth

I like Elodie best from your list.

How about Georgia, Lucy, Juliet, Miranda, Nina, Laura, Talia?

Elodie, do not like the other names.

How about, Constance, Emmeline, Emelia, Matilda, Lily?

We have an Edward (Ted) and DD is called Lottie. Also considered Alice, May, Annabel, Ella and Elizabeth.
