Thoughts on our girls name Shortlist please.

[Chocolocolate]

Hey,

After much discussion, we think we've decided on Henry Xavier Holmes for a boy.

We're really struggling for a girls name as DH doesn't really like any.

Please give your honest opinions on our shortlist. Possible teasings/problems and your general thoughts:

Melody Charlotte Holmes
Delia Madeleine Holmes
Sylvia Madeleine Holmes

Thanks

Sylvia for me

Charlotte Sylvia as don't like the rest.

Delia is lovely. How about Celia?

I really hate Melody - so twee.

Sylvia / Sylvie - lovely.

Melody is a bit wet. Delia isn't great and just makes me think of the cook.

melody charlotte or charlotte melody is nice.

love sylvia but hate madeleine

Sylvie Elisabeth - Frenchify it a bit.

Sylvia definately. Reminds me of an elderly relative of mine.

Silvie is very pretty and goes well with your second names.

I love Melody Charlotte, although it did make me think of Melody from the Apprentice- not sure if that is a good or bad thing.

Melody Charlotte Holmes (love Doctor Who).

We decided that my DH would pick the boys name and I would choose the girls.

I didn't like the boys name and was convinced I was having a girl. We had a DS and he name really suits him. Exciting times [hsmile]

Silvie would work especially as you have Xavier for a boy. Silvie Madeleine Holmes

I love Delia, it'll last a lifetime! Mwah ha ha,

Not keen on charlotte or Melody

Sylvia is a fantastic name. Don't mind Madeleine, like Charlotte, hate Delia and Melody. Melody in particular is a bit twee.

I would go for Sylvia Charlotte, personally.

Sylvia

My dd is a 9 year old Madeleine. There are a few on mn but she is the only one we know in RL. None in school.

I like Svlvie not Sylvia best.

Sorry Sylvie. Obviously.

I do like Sylvie, not Sylvia. Not keen on Delia or Melody.

How about Lydia or Celia?

Use all three of your favourite names - sod the popularity police if you like them.

I have an Isabel, so I have experience of a popular name. It stops bothering you.

All the Amelias I have known at the school I work at have become Millie, and most Charlottes are now becoming Lottie, so if you can't stand these shortenings you might want to take that into account.
