Greta or Nancy? And a middle name

[scratchviolet]

DD2 due any day now and DH and I have narrowed the short list down to Nancy or Greta. I'd previously ruled out Greta as was trying to avoid a 2 syllable name ending in 'a' as DD1 is Stella. But I keep coming back to Greta. Is it too similar to Stella? And which do you prefer - Greta or Nancy?

Also any ideas for middle names? Probably need 3 syllables. Would love to use Emmeline but rhymes with Dd1's middle name!

Thanks

I know a very beautiful little Greta, so I am biased toward Greta.

Another vote for Greta Nancy, I think that is lovely :)

I like Nancy!
Stella & Nancy goes together nicely too!

Greta, definitely! disclaimer although I have a DD named Greta, I am not in the least biased. Honest guv! :)

She is called Greta Rose Isobel

Greta is lovely. I know a Greta Florence. Nancy, to my ears, sounds too all-American.

Greta & Stella is fine - I think you'd have problems if you liked another name with an Ella ending - Isabella & Stella, Gabriella & Stella etc. See what I mean?

Having said all that, I actually much, much prefer Nancy. More gutsy and dynamic to me, where as Greta is more fragile - guess it depends on what she looks like when she comes out.

I think you might be over-thinking not using Emmeline because it rhymes with your DD1's middle name. I really don't see that it is an issue at all. How often are they going to be saying them together...really?

Greta is the best!
Nancy... just no... you can't do that to a child!

Love, love, love all your names (my DD was nearly a Stella, Greta or Emmeline! ).

I prefer Greta and dont think it is too similar to Stella ta all, but I do like Nancy very much, too....
