Sister to Solomon

[ceeceeanne]

Have a thread re boys names but dont know what im having so would like opinion on girls original names too!
Delilah - is this becoming popular? also solomon and delilah sounds a bit samson and delilah
Penelope - dislike nn Penny, is this a problem?
Iola - am thinking this sounds a bit chavvy/made up but maybe overthinking
Nelly - would this attract elephant jokes? (nell sounds to boring)
DH wants Larissa but I dont like
any other suggestions to go with Solomon nn solly . not necessarily biblical!

sounds good as long as she doesnt change her mind through teenage years!

Norah is nice. I think Penelope would inevitably get Penny.

LOVE Norah.

Solomon and Delilah sound fab but i do hear the Samson thing, still like it though.

Meant to add I know a Naomi nn Nelly.

Eleanora would give you a choice of NNs -- Nora, Nell, Ellen, Elle, Ellie (last two very popular though)

thanks everyone, still liking delilah as many people wouldnt bother about the biblical reference but think it may be getting trendy? quite like eleanora but not different enough.

which is more popular, Delilah or Penelope in uk? Does anyone know any and where do you live?

I know one adult Penelope, but although she lives in the UK she's Cypriot.

No babies of either name. I prefer Delilah.

thanks misshonkover. Love it too just trying to get over the Solomon and Delilah thing...and the fact the religious folk at the church toddlers may not approve!

Naomi goes really well.

bumping and adding Winifred nn Winnie as a thought

Emmeline
Evangeline
Clara
Clarice
Lily

Esther or Eshter?

Sheba
Susannah
Deborah
Michal
Leah
Danae
Ianthe
Niobe
Nzinga
Helena
Abigail
Caroline
Philomena
Alice

If you dislike Penny you should probably avoid Penelope - sadly.

Josephine
Iris
Polydora
Anouk
Tess
Linnet

Clementine
Allegra
Kerensa
Callista

Like Emmeline but daughters middle name Emma. Love Clementine but nn Clem is rude where I live! Starting to like Esther. Like Allegra but no obvious nn. Any thoughts on Nellwyn/Nellwin then I get to choose between fave nn's Nelly and Winnie!
