But Imogen was by far the nicest, pity your husband won't have it.

Nancy is the perfect name! I've loved it for years. Merryn second. Then Edith or Emmeline.

Lily is alright. I have an irrational dislike of Molly.

Merryn, absolutely.

One of my very best friends ever is called Merryn, it can only have happy associations for me. And it’s a lovely name!0

Emmeline nn Emmie is gorgeous! Definitely my favourite. Also like Lily and Molly.

Hate Nancy, Merryn and Edith though... wayyy too granny inspired. Just awful.

Love Edith (biased as it's DD1's name!) and also really like emmeline and Nancy.

Not a fan of lily or merryn

17caterpillars1mouse · 15/05/2018 06:07

I really like Emmeline and

Molly and Merryn are ok. Nice enough

Not a fan of Lily as it's so overused. Really dislike Nancy

Love Nancy!! Think Sylvie is super pretty too as a suggestion.

How would you pronounce Emmeline? Emme-lean or Emme-line?

Babbaganoush · 15/05/2018 07:21

We'd pronounce it 'Emme-lean'. Nn would definitely be Emmy.

So interesting to see everyone's opinions...thanks all!

Nancy Emmeline or Emmeline Nancy, both beautiful !

redmini4 · 15/05/2018 12:12

Merryn is my favourite.

LiviaAD · 15/05/2018 13:06

Merryn is such a pretty name, I wish I had been aware of it years ago.

chezmk1988 · 15/05/2018 14:32

Emmeline or Edith
