She looks like she would suit a robust name, iykwim? I like:

Matilda
Theodora
Tabitha

Which do you prefer? Ideas for middle names welcomes! Would like a short middle name!

Thank you so much - we are struggling!

Oooh congratulations! :)

My fave is Theodora.

How about

Theodora Joy
Theodora Hope
Theodora Jane
Theodora Anne
Theodora Pearl

Maybe try out one name for a few hours and see if it suits her? Would you abbreviate Theodora?

Lilyloo · 04/01/2013 21:30

Our robust dd is called Martha and her bf is called Matilda :)

MikeLitoris · 04/01/2013 21:32

I love Theodora. Very nice.

MoonHare · 04/01/2013 21:35

Tabitha! Fabulous name, although I don't see it as 'robust'.

I am slightly leaning towards Theodora at the moment. How popular is Matilda do you think? What about Bo and a middle name? Rae? She is luffly!

I meant Rae or Bo as a middle name rather than first names. 'Bo Rae' made me laugh! A quick Google search says that Robbie Williams called his daughter Theodora Rose. Bugger. Do you think that will make it 2 a penny now?

I like Matilda.

Theodora is lovely but you might get a lot of "ooh like Robbie Williams" or "do you like Robbie Williams" etc.

AmandaPayne · 04/01/2013 21:55

Theodora is lovely.

Theodora Anne
Theodora Alice
Theodora Hope

Not massively keen on Rae personally. May? Faye?

AmandaPayne · 04/01/2013 21:56

No - I don't think there will be a massive surge because of Robbie Williams. You're fine.

smornintime · 04/01/2013 21:57

Tabitha. I also like Meredith.
Middle names....Kate? Anna/Anne? May? Ellen?

GeordieCherry · 04/01/2013 21:58

Iris
Norah
Esther
Esme
Jodie
Audrey

I like Matilda best from your list but might not get to use mine at all, so just thought I'd add them Smile

NinjaChipmunk · 04/01/2013 22:07
