Naomi?

Thanks in advance!

Beth is the best but depends if either of your other Dd's name starts with a B.

Pandora37 · 29/09/2014 21:11

I'd choose Naomi, although I do like Beth too (not at all helpful).

Northernrose · 29/09/2014 21:24

Neither of dds names begin with B. They all will have different initials, so that's ok.
So one all for the moment.
If Beth, would you go for Elizabeth on the birth certificate, or not?! I don't really like it, but it is a family name and I like a lot of the nn although not the Liz/Lizzie ones...and maybe they would like 'options' (?!)

Beth, and I would go with Elizabeth on the BC for choice/nn

manicinsomniac · 29/09/2014 22:35

I like Naomi so much better

Sophronia · 29/09/2014 22:55

Naomi. Beth feels like a nickname.

BellMcEnd · 30/09/2014 06:56

I love Naomi

babyblabber · 30/09/2014 08:34

I think Beth is lovely. not mad on Naomi. depends which you prefer though!

I wouldn't put Elizabeth on the birth cert if you don't intend to use it, find that quite a strange idea i'd never come across until mumsnet. Beth is a name in it's own right.

MyBootsAreMuddy · 30/09/2014 08:36

Beth, with Elizabeth or Bethany on BC.

moxon · 30/09/2014 08:53

If you don't want Beth on the BC, but don't like Lizzie-type nn for Elizabeth (which is bound to happen), maybe try Elsbeth instead for the BC?

diddl · 30/09/2014 08:56

I prefer Beth.

Bethan?
Bethany?

I prefer Naomi.

Montsti · 30/09/2014 17:36

I would go for Elizabeth nn. Beth. I find Naomi really whiney..sorry!

elmo2014 · 30/09/2014 17:41

Beth. Just as it is. Lovely!

Northernrose · 30/09/2014 18:46

Thanks everyone!
I would be quite happy with Beth on the bc, but dh seems to think that Elizabeth should be on the bc! We almost called dd2 this name but changed our minds as just didn't seem right at that point, so now I'm back to thinking about it as I never stopped loving it as a name, even though we chose something else for dd2 if that makes sense?! Because of that i.e he was stubborn on this point then too, I am not sure he will shift on his notion of the full name on bc...

Dd1 is Anna, so we wouldn't go for Bethan or Bethany...

Appreciating everyone's help! Thank you! Not sure if am any further forward tho...Naomi is a name I love but don't like the pronounciation Nigh-omi so wonder if it would bug me if that's how people would say it!!

Hmm...
