You have excellent taste-I have an Isabella and a Susannah! My other daughter is Philippa and I had Rosalind/Rosamund and Helena on my shortlist so they would be my top picks from your lists. Other suggestions-Anna, Eve, Alice/Alicia.

Thank you for the other suggestions, I like:

Emmeline- is this Em-uh-leen or Em-uh-line?
Harriet
Marina

I do like Nell as a nn for Eleanor, Kitty as a nn for Katharine (Kitty was my ggrandma's name), and Betsy, Beth, Elsa and Elsie as nns for Elisabeth.

Oh, I also like Alice as well, and Anna but I can't use that as it's my own name :D

I have an Emmeline and we pronounce it with the "leen" ending, but people do often use the "line" pronunciation. The "leen" pronunciation means that it rather frustratingly gets continuously misheard as "Emily" - a daily occurrence - just a warning for you.

Harriet is a great name, as too is Alice. Neither have any pronunciation issues either, something which I am acutely aware of now! [Smile]
