ok, the shortlist is now,

Edith/Edie
Esme
Hester/Hettie
Iris
Polly
Sylvie

Iris.

Wilf's Grandma is called Edith. I love that name!

I really really like Iris, DH is taking a bit of convincing as he thinks it's an old lady's name.

Tut!

I manage with Ophelia just fine thanks! It works here.

Iris sounds less old lady-ish to me than Hester, Polly and Edith.

But I do think you are over looking Gunilda from my list....

there's time exit. Iris she will be.

Iris Polly (lastname-o)?

I love Inez, Sylvie and Farrah from your list.

gunilda sounds like something you might say when first coming out of a coma

Love Beatrice/Bea, Esme, Iris, Kitty, Polly, Sylvie, Tabitha, Thea

Nice list!

Astrid, Beatrice, Kit, Theodora, Hester

Astrid, Renee, Kitty my top three

Of your list my favourites are Beatrice, Edith , Iris.

The others are either ones I am not a fan of especially or somewhat out there - Nyx and Ora would raise a few eyebrows round my way.

Oh I see your shorter list included 2 or mine and you have now gone for Iris! Lovely choice.

well i'm not really at the point of having a final choice. am ridiculously early on in pregnancy and have no idea if having a boy or girl. I have two boys, I woke up this morning in a state of fear that I don't like ANY girls names.
by bedtime tonight I'm down to 6 contenders. so that feels a lot better.

Beatrice and Tabitha are cute :)
