If I like Nancy and Sylvie...

Hello 👋

I am expecting my second dd and my husband and I are struggling with names.
We really like Nancy and Sylvie but have been recently used by one close friend and one family member. We have drawn a blank.
There are some names I quite like and some names my husband quite likes but nothing jumps out at us. They are;

Lottie
Rose
Wren
Florence
Mae

Our first DD is Jean

Thank you!

Florence

None of them come close to Jean imo!! I do like Rose though. Common middle name but not so much for a first name. Think Rosa sounds better with Jean though.

Rose is such a beautiful name, I also really like the name Rosa

I actually really like Wren too, but it doesn't really go with Jean

Audrey, Hazel, Margot or Olive?

(Or just call her Anne and use Nancy as a nickname if you really like it).

HainaultViaNewburyPark · 25/08/2018 09:06

My favourite from your list is Rose. I also like Daisy and Iris as flower names.

Elise
Ada

Wow thank you!!
I hadn’t thought 💭 of pearl or iris. They are definitely on the list.
I also love Nell but it rhymes with our surname Grin
I am really taken with Dorothy (non dot, dotty) and Norah!

Many thanks 🙏🏼

Oh jean is Great! My dd is pearl, we don't know sex of number 2 but a girl will be Nell or Wren, middle name Dorothy, you have similar taste to me! I'd love to use olive but have a nephew called Oliver so too similar.

JaneJeffer · 25/08/2018 15:50

Claire

Snoopychildminder · 25/08/2018 15:58

I also like Olive (it was my nans name) but my lovely best friend just called her dd olive so we can’t use it, sadly!!

Nice to see Jean getting so much love 💗 it’s a special name to me and dd is what I imagine all jean’s to be, gentle but strong, calm but determined, takes no messing !
