I'm 40+5 with DC1 and struggling to find a name that DH and I both love. We are happy with our shortlist if it's a boy (Henry, Theo, Oliver, Jacob, or Max, with a family middle name) but we don't have any firm contenders for a little girl. I'd love your opinions on some possible combinations?
Surname is a three syllable fairly common surname starting with W. My wishlist is for a longer name that can be shortened, something that's not too popular, and nothing that looks odd when shown as initials (a risk with W for a surname). Still with me?
Calliope Isobel (nn Callie)
Juliet Roslyn (nn Jules)
Philippa Clio (nn Pippa)
Alexandra Kathryn (nn Lex or Lexie I think)
Other names I like but can't quite fit in are Edith, Hester, and Zoe. I have a classics background and love names with classical connections, and my name is a long name with an obvious nn which I go by, so I really like that idea. Would love suggestions for new combinations or likely candidates!
