Think we've got a short (well, quite long) list - but just can't decide. I'd really welcome views on these. Surname is two syllables, ending in 'er'. We don't want anything really popular.

Elizabeth - good with surname, good nicknames. But too boring/popular?
Rosalind - as above (but not too popular)
Juliet - like this, but don't like Jules/Julie/Ju.
Romilly - love the sound of this, and possibly Milly as nn. But too weird?
Iona
Xanthe - too weird?
Josephine - OH not keen, I like length and Josie as nn.
Stella
Georgia - too popular?
Charlotte - also too popular?

I love your list!

If you're both on board with Romilly, use it. It's my favourite from your list and unique but not "out there."

I also love Rosalind.

Or Romy if you like Romilly?
I love Josephine from your list too. I know a very sweet little girl named it.
What do you think of Madeline?

Have a Madeline already!

Excellent name :) I love Elizabeth from your list too.

Iona is such a beautiful name. Also love Stella, Josephine and Rosalind. I'd go for Iona Rosalind or Stella Josephine. Only dislike Xanthe and Romilly - reminds me of Rommel.

I like Juliet and Romilly with Madeline. Juliet can also be shortened to Lettie, or not shortened at all! Milly is a cute nickname for Romilly. I think pick a name you both love and don't worry about it being too 'weird', you'll never please everybody (and I don't think any of the names on your list are weird anyway!)

Elizabeth - LOVE
Rosalind - Really don't like this
Juliet - Feel the same as you, don't like Jules/Julie/Ju nicknames.
Romilly - I hear Rommel, sorry!
Iona - Like
Xanthe - LOVE
Josephine - LOVE
Stella - Not bad
Georgia - Not bad
Charlotte - As Juliet, I like the full name but dislike Lottie/Charlie etc.

I like Juliet and Josephine. Stella or Georgia are my favourites but not sure it goes with an 'er' surname.
I think Elizabeth and Charlotte are a bit dull / overdone I'm afraid, and Rosalind sounds too similar to Madeline.
Romilly is ok, poss a bit out-there for me.
Iona and Xanthe I'm undecided on!

Elizabeth -lovely
Rosalind- old fashioned, and not in a good way
Juliet-nice name but would get shortened as you say
Romilly-dislike
Iona-bit washy washy
Xanthe-trying too hard
Josephine-love
Stella- dislike, harsh sounding
Georgia- a know a few, real little madams!
Charlotte- bit uninspiring

How about Esther, Alicia, Louisa, Natalie, Erin, Erica, Georgina, Rosa,

Molly! Best name ever and not easy to shorten :)

I love Rosalind (like Shakespeare)
also like Romilly and Iona

Elizabeth - Nice, don't know any little girls with this name
Rosalind - Went to school with a girl called Rosalind - she was beautiful and lovely, so good connotations for me
Juliet - went to uni with a Juliet who was just unbearable - smug, patronising, arrogant and very strange looking (although she thought she was gorgeous). I couldn't use this name for that reason.
Romilly - quite nice, never known anyone with this name
Iona - ok, not horrible, not lovely
Xanthe - lovely, I would use this (my favourite jointly with Elizabeth from your list)
Josephine - a cat's name to me (sorry) - but not horrible. A perfectly ok name.
Stella - =McCartney or lager to me - although I like the meaning. I would like to like this name but the associations stop me.
Georgia - popular and not keen on it generally (although I like George for a boy...)
Charlotte - nice, perfectly ok name

I'd go for Rosalind or Josephine from that list.

Live Xanthe and Romilly

Love not live!

Xanthe is the loveliest, unusual and more unique than the others, without being weird.

LOVE Romilly

You have a lovely list!

Juliet is my favourite - I have a friend named this and she is always Juliet, never shortened at all.

Elizabeth - is a great name, I just think of Elizabeth Bennet. Classic and timeless.
Rosalind - I like the Shakespearian-ness of this (bit literary here if you can tell
Romilly - this is very pretty and not weird at all
Iona - rare, strong and very cool
Georgia - quite like this but prefer Georgina I think, and Georgie is a great nickname
Stella - quite like this too

The only ones I'm not too keen on are Xanthe, Josephine and Charlotte

Congratulations on your little girl!

Love Romilly. Just. Lovely.

Love Rosalind, Juliet, Romilly and Stella. If I had to pick just one it would probably be Rosalind

I love Romilly and Xanthe

Romilly is a lovely name and Milly is a pretty diminutive. All your names are beautiful, but that's my favourite.
