We welcomed DD3 two days ago and were convinced that once we met her it would be obvious which of the names on our shortlist would be the "right" one...but are still undecided and would love your thoughts. DD1 & 2 are Philippa and Beatrice and the shortlist is:

Miranda (nn Miri or Annie)
Nancy (but don't like possible shortening to Nan or Nance possibly by others)
Marianne
Penelope (nn Penny)
Caroline (nn. Carrie)

Alternative suggestions welcome, thank you!

Also like PP's suggestion of Josephine (Josie).

Did you decide in the end? :)

I love Nancy. It sounds so pretty and flows with ease Smile

How about Phillippa, Beatrice and Grace, or Catherine? Philippa and Beatrice and quite sophisticated names IMO, so something else sophisticated that you could shorten for now would be lovely.

Ooh or Claudia (when pronounced Cloudier) - that was the name I'd wished I'd had for myself!

Caroline (No need for a nn) or Marianne

Miranda is my favourite, with nn Mimi.

Not at all keen on Nancy and like nn Nance even less.

(If you pick Philippa please spell it with only one L)
