Our surname ends with an -o.

and has two syllables.

Edith, nn edie if thats an option

Thanks for everyone's opinions. The problem I've got is that I don't have a favourite. Partly I can't imagine this one will be a girl.

Love Beatrice. As long as your surname doesn't start with 'O' :-) kids can be cruel etc etc.
Anyhoo, Beatrice and Audrey are my fave girls' names.

Oh, sorry, just saw your last name does end with an o. Guess that's the end of Beatrice for me.

I like April, Edith, Hester, Iris and Sylvie.

Edith

You can probably cut that list in half tonight just by doing this: practise repeating the name at least 7 times whilst issuing a command across a busy playgroup. Like: Ophelia put your shoes on. Ophelia... Ophelia! Ophelia, shoes on please. Now please! Ophelia are you even listening? OPHELIA, shoes! Right, that's it. Ophelia, 1....2...

You will say it a million times a day. If it doesn't trip off the tongue easily, if it feels pretentious or unnatural, if you worry what other people will think about it, write it off straight away.

good idea, but of course any daughter of mine wouldn't need shouted at in the supermarket surely!

ok so i did that, I only come up with Iris as passing the supermarket test.

Oh, I love Renee.

Hate Esme.

The rest are ok, but I prefer the likes of Otillie, Odette and Loveday....

ok, these are passing the supermarket screech test for me.

Edith
Esme
Hester
Iris
Polly
Sylvie

Inez = Ines, surely?

Got to agree with Jamesandthegiantbanana, think about how the name will sound when you are hollering it across the park to your child...again, about a million times!

My favourties from your list...

Delphi
Inez - prefer Ines
Iris
Kit/Kitty
Polly
Theodora/Thea/Teddy

DoitTooJulia - I love Loveday too. If I was Cornish I would definitely have it.

Sylvie or April

Astrid
Delphi
Sylvie
Tabitha

but seriously, i have two kids and I don't holler across the park. (adjusts breasts les dawson style)

Hester/Hetty was first on our girls names list. We had boys!
