Names for a baby girl- vote please

[Littlewren82]

I am seven months pregnant and really struggling with names for a baby girl. If we have a boy we like James and it is my husband's family name so the decision was an easy one. However, really struggling with names for a girl and an resorting to MN in the hope you can help us decide!

Our short list is-
Lucy
Verity
Eleanor (Nell)
Clara
Helena

Middle name Susanne.

Thank you so much for your help, I have just about list the will to live with this now!

Verity

[ChickenMe]

Verity Suzanne

[Sophronia]

Helena Susanne or Eleanor Susanne. Clara is nice too.

When I hear Verity I hear 'ferrety' - I'm not keen on it at all.

[BadIdeaBear]

Eleanor is going to be our DDs name if it's a girl! I love Nell as a nn so thanks for that suggestion too!

So I guess my vote does go for Eleanor given it's my favourite and it does go well with Susanne.

Eleanor Susanne is lovely.

[rockinrobintweet]

Verity is my favourite but i also LOVE Eleanor (my dd is Scarlett-Eleanor). Nell is just the most adorable nn ever!!!!!!

[LastOneDancing]

Eleanor (Nell) has just made it onto my girls names shortlist! Love it.

[kindersurprises]

All lovely names. I have never met a Helena who has been known as Helen.

[Rhubarbgarden]

Helena or Clara.

[diddl]

Verity Suzanne.

Fabulous.

[LynetteScavo]

Verity

[wesH]

Anything but verity. I had a stick insect called that once

[darlingfascistbullyboy]

Helena Susanne is gorgeous :)

If you like Nell, Nell can be used for Helena too. My dd2 is Nell, from Penelope (Helena was a close second choice) & my Mum is Nell from Elaine ... it's a very adaptable nickname!

[darlingfascistbullyboy]

the Helenas I know - a few, colleague, aunt & friend - have all been know as Helena but two were Helen-a & one was Hel-ay-na. So you might get pronunciation issues.

[LollyLondon]

Clara or Helena. Very pretty names.

[Cliffdiver]

Verity, DD2 was going to be this. Her name is quite similar.

[Jackieharris]

I like your taste!
Lucy lovely just maybe a bit too popular atm plus it is quite 'girly'
Verity one of my very favourite names, old, easy to spell, good meaning
Eleanor (Nell) good solid name but don't like nell as nn
Clara pretty
Helena only problem is the different ways of saying it and nn of hell

[NadiaWadia]

I like Helena or Eleanor (although the latter very popular, of course).

[pilates]

I like them all except Verity, but if I had to choose it would be Clara.

[xmasbaby2014]

I like Lucy best. Don't like Clara or Verity.

[thegreylady]

Lucy is lovely but doesn't go with Susanne because of the sibilance of two 'ss' sounds together.

[caughtinthemoment]

I vote for Eleanor.

Also like Helena but it's my niece's name and a lot of people pronounce it Hel-ay-na instead of Helen-a which bugs me.

[Fifinella]

I'm an Eleanor and I've always loved my name (so much I was tempted to give it to my little girl too, but I didn't!). I've always been Eleanor or Ellie but you can shorten it to lots of things: Nell like you said, El, Elle, Nora - all sorts really.

[MadameJosephine]

Love Verity

[FunMitFlags]

Love them all except Lucy.
