Bit stuck. She was born 7 hours ago and is happily feeding now, but what do we call her?

Help please!

Congratulations! The first one is my name and has served me very well, it's lovely ??

Nameagain · 06/10/2013 19:49

Thanks! Still a bit shell shocked and DH has gone home to put DS to bed.

We'd like to make a decision when he comes back so we can start calling her something!

And I'm glad you/your DD (not sure which) like it!

Constance is lovely and elegant.

HystericalParoxysm · 06/10/2013 22:01

I adore the name Constance!

Congratulations! They are both lovely but I have a soft spot for Penny.

notadoctor · 06/10/2013 22:05

Both gorgeous and could definitely go together.

Hardrockhallelujah · 06/10/2013 22:06

I love Constance

Grumblelion · 06/10/2013 22:10

Love Nell as a nn for Penelope :)
Congratulations!

TunipTheUnconquerable · 06/10/2013 22:13

Call her Penelope. Constance is a bit Downton (whether or not there is actually a Constance in it) so it will date.
I am biased because I was meant to be Penelope but my mum's pregnant friend kicked off and said she had bagged it.

Congratulations!!

Nel is SO sweet. Grin

Penelope. When I was a very little girl I wanted to be Lady Penelope when I grew up - Thunderbirds. Just think she can have a pink sports car and pink trench coat.
