I think we might have decided on names...

[MotherOfBoy]

Ok mainly because I don’t want to put this anywhere else...! But I THINK we may have decided on names for baby 2. We have a Rupert nn Roo as our first DS. Won’t find out ace of this one. We have been really struggling woth girls names as have really particular taste and hate most names! But this evening think we have found one! Nicknames are important to us so we have been deliberating a lot as most girl nicknames are yuck imo:

Frederick nn Freddy (not likely ever be Frederick except birth certificate)

Imogen nn Midge (unlike above, only likely to be Midge in conversation and not in writing eg signing birthday cards etc)

Phew. Thought we’d be stuck for a girl name!

I like Midge.

Frederick/Freddy is nice, so is Imogen. Both are miles better than Roberta.

Midge though... 😷😷 I would hate to be known as that as a teen girl. You're either one of those wee yokes that flies about biting people, or you'll be called Minge. Neither is good.

For the love of god don't call your kid Midge. She'll either get kids going buzzzzzzz at her or she'll get other fanny related names.

There is not a single accent where 'Midge' sounds like 'Minge'. It LOOKS like it because there is one letter difference.

I used to know a girl known as Ratty.

It will be either a family nickname that will stick and she will always just be Midge, or she will turn round at some point and ask not to be called it any more, or she will end up with an even more unflattering nickname

I love Bobbie! Like Roberta Flack too - V.cool.

A bit meh about Imogen.

Midge is shockingly bad

I love the niece Florence nn Roger 😂 That's One cool female right there

(That was to @Hazandduck)

Haha @bubblebubblepop she is one feisty little lady! 😃

Midge are you fucking serious 😂

Think about the kid!

Imogen itself is lovely stop trying to force a shit nickname.

Great taste, OP! Rupert and Frederick were both on our list for DC2 and our runner up girl name was Imogen.

I like midge.

Ooh, I love Midge! And Freddy. Good choices.

I think Rupert is a variant of Robert, so don’t think you can have a Roberta as well, which is a shame as it’s an awesome name.

Imogen is lovely but I agree with other posters that she will almost certainly end up as Immy whatever you do
so if you hate that I wouldn’t choose Imogen.

Love Frederick .
Not a fan of imogen, always reminds me of tht horrid women who slept with David Beckham !
Midge is not a nickname I would want either .. Would u?
