So we (or rather I) have practically crossed off every name on our v limited list.

We've gone from unusual (but not out there), nothing in top 50/100, not a name of a child I've ever taught (being a teacher REALLY puts you off names) and back around to fairly traditional but with a lovely shortened version... But that's it, we can't agree now and I'm out of ideas!!

Been through a million books, websites, watching credits of programmes and even the names of Coast dresses Confused

We need boy and girl options.
Agggghhh- so stressful!!

What was on the list but has been culled?

So you want traditional longish names that have a nice short version?
