I'm 33w with baby number 4 :) I have 3 DDs already, I don't know what I'm having this time.

Boys names are sorted, we haven't changed much from chosing 3 other times and not using one!

Girls names are getting harder - probably because we have already used our top3... I will be using Lily as a middle name (family connection), but which first name works best?

Beatrice Lily
Harriet Lily

One is DH'c choice, one is mine. I like both (but mine more :) ) He also likes Jemima but we're going off it.

Your opions please, wise MNetters!

They are both beautiful however I prefer Beatrice Lily!

Both are great. How do they sound with your other daughters' names? I think that's the only way I'd be able to decide between them.

I think I might prefer Harriet by a smidge as Hattie is such a sweet nickname.

Harriet is lovely.Beatrice isn't.

The other names are classic, nothing unusual. I think both work well with the names we have.

Maybe we should have a Beatrice Harriet and forget about Lily Wink

I like both - either is lovely

Beatrice is nice.

emmyloo2 · 31/05/2012 23:14

I love both of them. Is lily definitely the middle name? only because it is Sokol popular and Beatrice and harriet are much nicer. Both would be on my list if I had a DD.good choices! And both are much much better than jemima. I really don't like jemima.

emmyloo2 · 31/05/2012 23:14

so popular. Bloody iPad.

Both are lovely. I think Beatrice Lily just has the edge Smile

tummytickler · 01/06/2012 09:34

HArriet is far nicer than Beatrice

TheonlyoneIknow · 01/06/2012 10:55

Prefer Harriet, really like it

SoozyWoozy · 01/06/2012 19:56

Harriet ahead, but only just! Harriet / Hattie is DH's choice.

He would never let me have Grace with the other DDs as it reminded him of Grace Jones... I wonder if I show him a picture of Hattie Jacques he'll change his mind

Thanks everyone!
