Just found out I'm pregnant with dc2. We have 2 or 3 boys names we will choose from however I already think we're going to struggle with girls names.
I thought it would help to get all my initial ideas down so I can refer back to it and also get other people's alternative ideas and opinions.
So my current list is:
Emily
Tessa
Niahm
Pippa
Eliza
Penelope (Nel)
Florence (Florrie)

Def Eliza, it sounds lovely with Wiiliam.

AnythingNotEverything · 28/02/2015 19:42

Emily and Eliza go nicest with William I think.

Did you mean Niamh?

I prefer Tess to Tessa.

Your list has some similarities to mine ... So I'll suggest Nancy and Alice.

Love penelope.
Niamh is ok but prefer maeve
Penelope maeve or Elizabeth maeve

I think Eliza and Tessa go really well with William, and neither is uber-popular. Emily also sounds nice with it, but there are quite a few around.

I think it will hard to enforce the "Nel" nickname for Penelope, and she will probably become Penny or Pen.

Florence is too "of the moment" though is a nice name.

What about:

Tamsin
Clara
Dorothy
Rosanna
Alexa
Flora

Rockinghorse123 · 28/02/2015 19:49

Thank you all.

Yes I mean Niamh. Sorry I'm on phone and tired!
I really love Nancy but not sure of it with William?
Hadn't thought of Tamsin, it's lovely!

I think William and Nancy are lovely together. They sound quite familiar ... am I missing something obvious?!

Sophronia · 28/02/2015 21:39

I love Eliza and William together.

caughtinthemoment · 28/02/2015 23:49

William and Nancy sound great together.

Ludways · 28/02/2015 23:58

Eliza or Nancy are my faves

Belazu84 · 01/03/2015 00:02

Love Eliza. Nancy does work too.

Naomi
Esme
Flora

MsQueenie22 · 01/03/2015 07:42

I love Nancy and Esme. However, a relative pointed out that there is a Nancy in Eastenders and an Esme in twilight. This has put me off, but not sure if I'm overreacting and being a snob.

Emily - I like it but don't get excited about it. I don't think it's because it's too classic or too popular because I love lots of other names in those brackets. You can't go wrong with it though.
Tessa - I think I like this but go back and forth a bit. I don't like Tess much
Niamh - Really like it
Pippa - Really like it. Though might christen as Phillipa just for a full name option.
Eliza - it's ok.
Penelope (Nel) - not keen
Florence (Florrie) - quite like it. Not overly keen on Florrie (but better than Flo)

I know Williams with sisters called:
Fiona, Alexandra, Antigone, Fionnhuala, Eleanor, Matilda, Lydia, Ocean and Charlotte

Others in a similar vibe to your list that I think go with William:
Astrid, Anna, Annabel, Abigail, Bryony, Cassandra, Ciara, Elise, Emmeline, Edith, Frances, Grace, Gabriella, Georgina, Hannah, Harriet, Imogen, Juliet, Julia, Joanna, Josie, Leona, Miranda, Natasha, Natalie, Orla, Phoebe, Rebecca, Rose, Sophia, Tara, Thea, Victoria, Vivienne, Zara
