Clemency, saskia, sylvie or ????

[salvadory]

Am having number 2 baby this week and we have our boys name sorted. However I'm stuck with girls. DH loves Saskia, I like it but rejected it for dd, I quite like sylvie as does dh. Other names which I like but dh has vetoed are:
Clemency
Cordelia
Cassandra
Cassia
Aurelia
Cecily
Meredith

Please help as if a girl this child shall be nameless.
We both like margot for a middle name.
Dd1 is Imogen which I still love.

Oh, please Clemency! I just adore the name- but I didn't think of it til after dd was named.

(mind you, dp says he would have vetod it, and dd says she would have left home at the first opportunity and changed her name if I had called her it......)

I love Clemency and Sylvie.

That's interesting seeker, why does your dd dislike clemency? What is her name (nosy). What about nickname potential? I really dislike clemmy or clem.

My middle name is Clemency. I don't really like it very much and think Clemmie is actually quite nasty. Luckily I really like my first name so it doesn't matter at all :)

We thought about Sylvia for dd, and Cassandra was on dh's list, but I think way too tragic, and then we had a landlord with a dog called Cassie who got told off a lot, so that was the end of that (it was a long time before we actually had children though).

Sounds like you and your dh need to keep on looking for a name you both love.

Thanks Nooka, however baby coming on Thursday so time is one thing we don't have!

I think that Clementine is much nicer.

I would say Cecily-I don't like the rest.

I'd go for Saskis first, then Sylvie

Sylvie is lovely, so is Aurelia :)

Would you say aur ray lee ah or aur eee lee ah? The only one I ever knew was French and pronounced it the former way. I like both shame dh likes neither!

Salvadory, she says it's old fashioned and wet. She's actually called Grace ( that was quite unusual 16 years ago!) She quite likes it, but would prefer to be called Rowan, which was another of my favourites- also vetoed by dp!

OP - your names are mostly quite bluestocking-y. Is that intentional? Is that the part your DH doesn't like? Men don't generally go for bluestockings...

Cassia or Clemency :)

Clemency - like
Cordelia - too posh and frilly
Cassandra - lovely, and you can have Cassie as nickname
Cassia - lovely, very pretty
Aurelia - like, but if your DH doesn't like it maybe not a winner
Cecily - too prim and lispy
Meredith - OK but not the prettiest on your list

"Men don't generally go for bluestockings..."

Bonsoir what do you mean? A bluestocking is an intelligent, educated woman.

Yes, and a frump to wit. Men don't like frumps

Love Sylvie!

I love Clemency. am considering it for dc6.

I don't think it is particularly bluestockingish in the UK but maybe it is in France.

What about margot as a first name?
I quite like the 30's names, daphne agatha etc, is margot blue stockingy bonsoir?? (I often think of the awfully named yet very attractive 80's soap actress Tracy scoggins-(lord knows why i can still remember her!!)when told men dont like a woman because of her name as usually names are the last things men are concerned with!)

Depends whether it's a man who cares more about the mind than the clothes...

I'm going to throw in Cecilia
Just to add to the confusion

Ah but does it popcorn, a name isn't a definitive indicator of what someone's mind is like, look at donna tartt (first example I could think of)
I like cecilia, dh says no (there's a pattern forming here!).

LOVE Clemency and Aurelia.

Cordelia, Meredith and Saskia also nice.

And I would say Ah-raylia.

Margot clemency? Margot Frances? Maybe I'll sleep on it..
Aurelia has been crossed off the list by dh (ditto Cassandra, cassia and cecilia/cecily).

Ah, I missed the 'this week' in your OP! I can see your concern.

Imogen and Margot do sound quite good together. I like Margot Frances, or from your other names (unless your dh is vetoing them as middle names) Margot Meredith, Margot Cordelia or Margot Cecily/ia.
