Lola-Rose, Nancy-Mai or Tilly-Anne?????

[Robynbaylee]

Hi I have just found out I am due a baby GIRL early November!! :) I have narrowed it down to 3 possible names just need some help as to which sounds better :) thanks everyone x

Why did you spell it Baylee rather than Bailey out of interest?

I do have a Baylee everyone that meets him loves his name and it suits him perfectly :)

Oh spelt it Baylee as a lot of people I know associated Bailey with a girl. I love it for a boy and feel it is more boyish spelt Baylee :)

Oh gosh - don't ever look at the Urban Dictionary's definition of Baylee

I actually thought baylee was because your child was a girl! The spelling seems more 'cutesy' and girly to me.

Haha I know on there all baileys no matter how they are spelt are about girls lol

Congratulations OP! I hope you're not too upset by these rude comments. I think your name choices are pretty nd it's up to you if you like hyphenated names. Your little girl might choose to use a shortened version when she is older though so maybe pick one where you like the first name on its own too. I don't see why the fact that a name is popular makes it such a no-go choice, especially for a middle name. Naming a child isn't an exam in creativity. Surely something you like that isn't going to be a millstone round your child's neck is what you should be aiming for?

I would also point out that 99.99% of people will say that a baby's name is lovely and wonderful to your face, but some of them may not be privately thinking it.

I would just advise thinking of your child when she is an adult woman, and choose a name that will suit her then as well as now, or a name that can be flexible e.g. shortened, nickname etc.

Nancy Anne is lovely. Glad to hear you're planning to drop the hyphen!

I agree really like Nancy Anne.

I've never heard of Bailey being a girl's name - all of the little Bailey's around here are boys .

But Nancy is a diminutive of Ann... So that would be a little repetitive.

Yes, Nancy is a diminutive of Anne so they're pretty much the same name. Nancy Rose would be much better.

Nancy is very nice but as others have said - it is a diminutive of Anne.

Nancy Anne would be like Ellie Eleanor.

Nancy may

Not keen on Lola. I mean, it's a perfectly ok name, but there are lots of them and Baylee and Lola, automatically makes me think 'Charlie and Lola' , though that may just be me.

Nancy is nice. Tilly is ok.

If I'm allowed to mix up the groupings I would go Nancy Rose. Matilda Anne (nn Tilly) is nice too.

All dreadful names, sorry. I mean Tilly, wtf?
Have a rethink... And congratulations!

Those first names are all quite nice. Don't hyphenate though. And don't use Rose as a middle name, it's ever so over done. (just offended approximately 50% of the population)

Really don't like double names. Feel tacky/trailer trashy to me. Sorry. Most of the names as individual names are nice though.

My mother has a good friend, prob in her sixties, who is a Tilly. Always thought this name was IDD as a child. Now its everywhere. Pointless comment from me.

There's another thread now questioning whether Jesse is too feminine. Nothing wrong bailee for girl or boy. Perhaps in 20 years Elliot will be more of a girls name. Just like Jordan and Esme before.

Esme was a male name previously? I did not know that before!

Avant Indeed so www.behindthename.com/name/esme10 and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esm%C3%A9_Stewart,_1st_Duke_of_Lennox

Nancy

Lola, Rose, Nancy and Anne are all nice. Wouldn't hypenate any of them or use Tilly as a proper name as I think all would sound v twee on an adult.
