We call our little girl Bea more than Beatrice and I quite like names you can shorten. Our current girl list includes Phillipa known as pippa and I really like daisy but DH not keen on either really. Any ideas???? We are running out of time and lists to read ;-) TIA

Love Beatrice. I think Emily would work well :-)

Thanks everyone - love Emily too but a family member has already used that one :-(
Matilda known as Tilly sounds great :-)

I agree - go Shakesperean

Miranda

Viola (nn Vi)

Jessica

Portia (though personally I don't like that)

Hero (same play as Beatrice)

Perdita (but means lost so not so good perhaps)

Ophelia to give it a Shakespearean feel

stripedtortoise · 22/10/2014 19:48

Pippa is gorgeous!
Not keen on Daisy. Sorry. To me it falls into lovely, cutsey name for child that sounds silly on a grown adult.
Alexandra? Eleanor?
