Retro Baby Girl Names- help!

[BeccaW1986]

I'm 37 weeks and in a bit of a panic about baby names.

We were totally in love with the name Pippa.... then found out it translates as something rude 😩in a lot of other countries. I still love the name, but can't bring myself to use it.

We are really disappointed and are totally stuck on names. Current contenders are:

Nina
Matilda
Ida
Beatrice
Margot

But we haven't got the same "Pippa" love for any of them. Any opinions or retro names suggestions are very much welcome. For some reason I feel like I can't bring her into the world nameless! Very stressed!

Middle name will be Sue after my mum x

What about Martha or eadie

I know a teenage Philippa known as pippa

Never knew it has other meanings

If you love it, use pippa

Tabitha
Harriet
Georgie
Eleanor
Florence
Roberta
Frances

Pippin, piper, pip

Delia?

Betty (Elizabeth)
Mabel
Maggie (Margaret)
Marjorie
Carrie
Ada
Josie
Sybil
Myrtle
Louisa
Ellen

Lilah or Piper? I like Margot and Nina from your list.

Thanks everybody. Will show my husband. Fingers crossed we find some inspiration here! Xx

Enid?

Peggy Sue

I have a Beatrice which I love. It means bringer of joy which is lovely.

Shirley Sue

I've just had a Philippa! Well, in October. She's Pippy to everyone or occasionally Pips. I like Pippa but we just haven't used it, she can choose to call her self which ever she likes when she's older.

Janice
Maureen
Brenda
Pauline
Miriam

A bit too retro perhaps?

I love Nina!

Sue is a great middle name!

I saw someone mention Miriam above, that's my mums name and she's always been called Mim or Mimi as I'm mim-ey) For short. I love it. Very retro and unusual.

Bonnie? Betsy? I love Joanie and Jeannie too. And Margot!

We have an Annie and I wish I'd given her Sue as a middle name! Annie Sue

I think you should use Pippa anyway! As previous posters have said, you can register her as Philippa on the off chance she wants to live in Europe, but to be honest I really wouldn't let it stop you using it! There are so many reasons why so many names should be vetoed (cruel/rude nicknames etc) and if there isn't an obvious reason then school friends will often create one anyway!
