If I like Barnaby for a boy....

[SpaceDinosaur]

Can you suggest a girl's name please?

We don't know what we're having, we suspect a boy but until baby's born it's a surprise!!!
Both DH and I love Barnaby.
Also Sebastian

I like Ace too but that got veto'd

We both dislike "floral" names for girls or overtly "girly"
We would like for our daughter to be able to have an "easy" abbreviation for her name. I love unisex names. Jaimie is nice but not quite right. (Short surname)

Also, first name can't begin with an H or she'll sound like a superhero's alter ego!!!

So... any ideas?!!

my nickname was puddle duck and i hated it, so not jemima please

oh god please don't call her Bernadette! hotrebdous, old fashioned

Robyn
Tamsin
Nancy

Gemma
Ingrid
Imogen
Alex
Alexis
Toni/ Tony

Or call her Bernie

Janey
Sophie

Elsbeth

Bernadette isn't old fashioned. My friend is only 22 and it really suits her.

Bernadetteis lovely. Nick names, Bernie and Birdie.

Victoria - prefer nn Tori than Vic/Vicky but they might be inevitable

Florence is, I suppose floral, but fits into the barnaby sphere perfectly I think!

Margot
Saskia
Penelope
Quinn
Delilah
Delphine
Theodora

One of my sons has Barnanby in his name. I love it.

How about Phoebe or Clara?

Barnanby?

Opps I meant Barnaby

Thank you for these brilliant suggestions!

Florence, Pollyannna, (I played with Polly!) Bernadette, Georgina, are all lovely. I may throw Matilda into the pot as well.

Erin
Emma
Rowan

Or names that can be lengthened so they flows with a short surname ..

Ally
Fran
Lex
Bea

Matilda
Tallulah
Tamara
Tamsin
Hanna
Martha
Elouise
Imogen

The chaps I know called Barnaby have sisters called:

Molly
Annabel
Aurelia

Aurelia is a fairly unusual name that's not "girly"

Antonia (Toni)
Roberta (Bobby or Robby)
Theresa (Terri)
Or even a traditional male name such as:

Hilary
Kim
Courtney
Sidney
Cameron
Lesley

Alexa
Helena
Tess
Francesca

Frances
Judith / Jude
Lucille / Lou
Philippa / Pippa or Phil
Laurie
Simone / Si
Veronica / Ronnie
Winifred / Winnie or Fred
Edith / Edie or Eddie
Eloise / Lou or Ellie
Theodora / Theo
Bronwen
Charis/Carys
Bridget
Marcella
Rosalind
Dinah
Sybil
Sabine
Fiona
Nadine
Estelle

Bernie for short - Bernadette's great!
