Girl No4 due and we've used all the good names!

Currently 25 weeks pregnant with girl number four and really struggling with her name.
We already have:

Daisy Dorothy
Betty Tabitha
Kitty Matilda

I like traditional/unusual names, with middle names that can be abbreviated incase they grow to hate their first name.

Short list for the new baby is
Winnie
Quincy
Bunty

Middle name Dolores or Delilah.

I'm not completely sold on them though, any opinions or other suggestions?

Boys are great but girls will never leave you, as you will always be their Mother

The fuck? I'll always be my son's mother, thanks.

Also, I left my mother as soon as I was old enough.

What an utterly bizarre thing to say.

Winnie Delilah fits perfectly.

I really like Winnie.

Winnie Dorothea would be my suggestion.

Annie Delilah
Polly Delilah

RockafellerSkank · 25/02/2018 15:31

I think she should have her own initial, have five letters, two syllables and end in Y liker her sisters.

Daisy Dorothy
Betty Tabitha
Kitty Matilda

And:
Poppy
Polly
Posey
Milly
Tilly
Cassy
Tabby

Polly feels like a perfect fit for your girls.

If I have a girl I'm looking at the name Willow though I haven't decided on a middle name yet.

Araminta.. Known as minty

RogueAnnJosh · 25/02/2018 20:13

It's got to be:

Daisy Dorothy
Betty Tabitha
Kitty Matilda

and...

Ivy Dolores

millymae · 25/02/2018 20:14

Polly Delilah. Look no further. It’s a lovely combination and goes perfectly with Daisy, Betty and Kitty.

CrumblyMumbly · 25/02/2018 20:21

I notice the pattern is 2 syllables 3 syllables - Winnie best of your 3 but not keen sorry. When I looked at your other names what sprang to mind straight away was Mabel Elizabeth so I have spoken!

NorthernLurker · 25/02/2018 20:21

Winnie and Bunty are dreadful and Quincy is a masculine name. If you want that sort of vintage feel then:

Sylvie
Polly
Effie
Ada
Cecily
Hettie

Enough of the Bunty bashing! (Strops off in a huff)
