DD2 will be here in 10 days and I’m completely freaking out about names.

We have an Elizabeth (nn Lizzie) which I think is timeless and classic with lots of cute nickname possibilities. Can’t seem to find another name that’s in the same league.

Thought we had decided on Georgina/ Georgia but now having real doubts, plus DH wants Georgia and I prefer Georgina.

Other names I’m considering:
Katherine - love Kitty but would rather not use Katherine as I have lots of close friends with the name.
Emily - love but too popular
Emilia - too much like Amelia, which is too popular
Annabel - not convinced by Anna, Annie or Bella
Jemima - worried it’s a bit ‘out there’, not in love with Jem or Mimi either.
Rose/ Rosalind (nn Rosie) - love Rosie but our surname starts with R and DH thinks it sounds like a stripper name!
Francesca - DH has vetoed
Matilda - DH isn’t keen
Alice - seems a bit ‘plain’ somehow.

Not keen on Victoria or Beatrice and Juliet doesn’t work with our surname
I like Margaret, Charlotte and Alexandra but can’t use because family members have taken them.

Any thoughts on the above?

My daughter is Annabelle and so far it's never been shortened by friends or family - she's 11 - so maybe don't write that one off!

I love Anna too, But weirdly my other names on my list when we chose Annabelle were Catherine & Emily which you've already considered!

DD2 was going to be Clara but i had a boy 😊! Good luck choosing!
