[LawDegreeBarbie]

30 weeks and we have zero names.

Ideas? Two syllable surname.

Ciara kind of rhymes with our surname so is gorgeous but not going to be workable

Maisie

Francesca
Kirsten
Matilda
Sasha
Erin

I have a SD called Amelia and DD is due any day, she is going to be Eliza. DS has nicknamed her Zsa Zsa which I actually quite like!

One of my best friends is Imogen but calls herself Gina

Maeve
Zoe

Lydia
Lynette
Harriet

Verity

Came on to say Verity Strawberry! I love it.

Regarding the name Imogen, I have one and her nn is Imo. I must have been well ahead of the trend, because mine is 27 !

Primrose
Elspeth
Esther
Clarice
Deena
Daphne

Dana
Lara
Beatrix
Persephone
Delphine
Marisa
Imogen
Ginevra

Not a two syllable name, but immediately I thought of Melody.

Elora (again, 3 syllables)
Emma
Ella
Ellie (bit similar to Amelia though)
Elsa (maybe too "Frozen"?)
Clara (one of our names actually)
Kara
Zoey
Nina
Rachel (know dozens though)
Maya (maybe too similar to Layla)
Kaya/Kaia (maybe too similar to Layla)

Hope this might give you inspiration at least! Sorry I can't be of more help but my brain has just went blank.

Mhairi? Can be pronounced either as Var-ie or Marr-ie x

I love Lydia and Georgia. DH has vetoed Georgia.

Doesn't have to be a two syllable first name. We just have a two syllable last name.

Verity is a family name so can't realistically use that unfortunately. Imogen is still a firm contender. DH is mulling it over for a few days to see how it sounds.

despise Immy? I am looking at my beautiful niece Immy just now. Not a name I would have chosen but now o don’t associate the name with anything other than that perfect girl! Other Nn for Imogen

Im
Gin
Ginny
Midge (a bit famous five but cute)

Immy brings back bad memories of a girl who used to bully me in high school (put me in hospital). I like Ginny as a nn though

Oh goodness. Well perhaps bear in mind that others will shorten Imogen to Immy even if you don’t

That's what I'm a bit worried about. It's going to end up Immy or Im no matter how much anyone insists on Imogen. Amelia has become Mia through natural shortening which is why I'm not 100% set.

Faith or Felicity.

Esme
Ette
Nell
Kate
Emma

What do you think of Ellaria? Pronounced Ell-ah-tee-ah and Aria as a nn?
