We had our baby girl a week ago and,having had a shortlist of 12 going in to hospital, have managed to get it down to these two.
And now we are stuck!
We have pros and cons for each -
Adeline, pros: love the nickname Addie, it was the front runner for a long time so seems harder to reject. Cons: worry about spelling and pronunciation; we would say Aduh-line, not Aduh-lynn or Aduh-leen, we don't like either of those, not keen on any other nickname either, I worry it is going to leap in popularity and get a bit daddy.
Zosia, pros: it was the only name I loved immediately when I was pregnant, love all the nicknames and would be happy if she decided she wanted to call herself Zoe in the future. It means 'wisdom' which I like as well. Cons: again, worry about spelling and pronunciation; it is pronounced Zoh-sha which I imagine many people would get wrong to start with.
Both go equally well with the middle names we have chosen and our surname.
What is the general consensus? What would you think if you met a small baby called each of these?
The other name in the top three which we just discounted as it is a bit grown up is Zelda.
Thank you!
