Baby girl name help

[whatdoicallmybaby]

Hello, I've name changed for this as with my previous posting history it is probably quite outing!

I'm due DD2 in November - and we really have no idea what to call her. I have quite a list of requirements! DD1 is called Edith so it needs to go with that. I definitely don't want a name within the top 50, and preferably not the top 100 but could compromise on that if I love it. I want a name that can be shortened, but the given name would be the full version. Also needs to please my incredibly fussy DH who has so far offered no suggestions!

Names that I like that have been vetoed for one reason or another:
Francesca
Violet (still a favourite and trying to convince DH)
Matilda
Beatrice

Thank you!

Thanks everyone, some we have already ruled out but some to consider.

Violet is definitely my favourite, just hoping I can convince DH.

I was going to suggest Violet

Estella
Adaline/Adeline
Adelaide
Antonia
Lucille

Love Violet!

Violet is my favourite girls name! But I'm expecting DS2!

Don’t go Beatrice I like the other inital suggestions OP and ignore the horrible names suggested by other commenters. Matilda is a winner

Viola, so pretty !

Rosalie
Rosalind
Stella
Scarlett
Miranda
Constance
Annabell
Agnes
Mary
Bryony
Blythe

Josephine
Eleanor
Tabitha
Constance
Emmeline
Elodie
Margeaux

(I also live Violet)

Avery
Mabel
Mallory

Thanks for all the suggestions. DH is not budging on Violet but I'm hoping I might be able to have it as a middle name.

From the names suggested I like Dorothy, Constance, Tabitha, Agnes and Emmeline. I also like Audrey but struggling to think what it would be shortened to? Any other suggestions along these lines?

I think Violet and Beatrice go best with Edith as they’re all classic Edwardian names. I also really like Nancy.

If DH doesn’t budge on Violet you don’t have to budge either.

I have an Audrey. I sometimes call her Aud. why do you need to shorten it though?

How about
Sybil
Dinah
Marjolaine

I do like Beatrice but just wondered if it is a bit 'posh' (we're definitely not). He seemed more onboard with Beatrice than all the others. The problem is he says no to all my suggestions, but doesn't give any back. The only name he has suggested is Alex (don't hate it but don't love it) and Zoya
I did very much get my own way last time, so I'm trying to compromise a bit more this time!

Judith
Greta
Augusta (Gussy is a very sweet nickname)

Agatha

We don't need to shorten it madmaryboddington I just really like names that can be shortened into a nickname.

Edith and Blythe.

In the 80s the only Olivias I knew where upper middle class women of my mother’s generation.

Look at it now. No class owns a name.

^ were.
