Elizabeth and Susannah are my favourites; I think Elizabeth goes best with Emily.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 03/02/2012 17:08

All nice - Verity or Elizabeth are my favourites, although Susannah is possibly more interesting.

Minty82 · 03/02/2012 17:49

Like them all except Penelope...I personally like Verity and Susannah best of that lot, though Felicity Brown has a good ring to it! Not sure about Emily and Libby together?

TimeForCake · 03/02/2012 17:54

Not keen on Verity & not sure about Penelope & Emily together but like all the others. Penelope just doesn't strike me as a baby name but that's just me. Think my favourites are Elizabeth & Susannah. I like Beth as a nn too.

ThePathanKhansWitch · 03/02/2012 17:55

Susannah.

aliceinboots · 03/02/2012 17:58

Love Verity, Felicity and Susannah. Quite like Libby too but not keen on Elizabeth. Emily? Nope.

aliceinboots · 03/02/2012 17:58

Penelope, don't like much but Penny is sweet.

aliceinboots · 03/02/2012 17:59

oops..sorry, didn't realise you already had a DD called Emily. Well it's a perfectly acceptable name. Blush

hohohoshedittant · 03/02/2012 18:49

Penelope - Like Penny, but not Penelope
Felicity - Like a lot and goes well with Brown and with Emily
Elizabeth (Libby) - Love, but not with Emily
Verity - horrible
Susannah - Ok, like nn Suzy/Susie

clare458 · 03/02/2012 19:13

Penelope - love Penny as nn
Felicity - love, it's my dd name, so my fav
Elizabeth - is lovely but would be my last choice from your selection
Verity - I quite like, can't make up my mind on this one
Susannah - Is ok, love Susie as nn but not sure on full name.

leftmymistletoeatthedoor · 03/02/2012 19:15

Penelope - sweet and like Penny
Felicity - love it , goes nicely with emily
Elizabeth (Libby) - its ok
Verity - quite posh sounding but nice
Susannah - really don't like it

clare458 · 03/02/2012 19:17

If you chose Elizabeth with nn Betsy, Betsy Brown is sweet!

JenniferLaunders · 03/02/2012 19:23

Libby Brown is a whole lot of "b"s to my ear.

I like Susannah best.

Charlotteperkins · 03/02/2012 19:33

Verity's the best.

rrrayray · 03/02/2012 19:37

I like felicity.

MamaMaiasaura · 03/02/2012 19:38

Elizabeth

PopcornBiscuit · 03/02/2012 19:45

Felicity, then Verity.

Penelope Brown - like Penelope but "pe" followed by "Br" means it doesn't flow as well as other combinations
Felicity Brown - lovely, flows well
Elizabeth (Libby) Brown - Elizabeth a bit dull, Elizabeth Brown flows well but Libby Brown has too much "b"
Verity Brown - like
Susannah - not keen on Susannah

jaffacakehips · 03/02/2012 19:49

Ohhh good list!

Penelope - lovely but i'm not need on Penny as a nn
Felicity - Like
Elizabeth (Libby) LOVE, for me Lizzie or Izzy is better than nn that Libby.
Verity - LOVE
Susannah -LOVE

DottieRose · 03/02/2012 19:58

Penelope is gorge......also like Felicity!!!! Really dislike Susannah

thetigerwhocametoteax · 03/02/2012 20:36

Elizabeth or Penelope. Dislike Verity.

cece · 03/02/2012 20:44

Penelope - love
Felicity - like
Elizabeth (Libby) - like
Verity - love it, was top of list for DC3
Susannah - like

All excellent choices.

Verity my favourite and Penelope and then Suzannah nn Suzie as third choice.

randomimposter · 03/02/2012 21:11

LOVE Susannah, with NN Anny. Emily and Anny sounds lovely.

Emily and Libby also nice, though would you want 2 E initials? (I have 3 siblings all with a G, and it didn't bother them, but some on MN think it's nigh on the end of the world Hmm).

Not keen on Felicity or Penelope personally. I want to like Verity but went to school with a hideous one.

whatsmyage · 04/02/2012 07:02

All good - can't go wrong with any. If I had to pick one I would lean to Verity but there isn't much in it.

FriskyMare · 04/02/2012 07:07

Not keen on Penelope (Penny BrownConfused)
Love Susannah and Felicity tho :)

AThingInYourLife · 04/02/2012 07:13

Verity has all the same vowel sounds, in the same order, as Emily.

E-I-Y

I don't think they work together.

My Granny and her sister were Elizabeth and Emily (Lizzie and Emmie) :)
