Already have one DD and feel we have used all our name choosing skills on her and picking her name was difficult enough! (She's called Nancy)

I think I like Sally, Ida and Billie. But not enough to love them and pick one. So far short of dipping my hand in the Scrabble tile bag and making up a new name, if think I like those above, what else may be a good shout?

(Margot and Elspeth which always crops up on these threads although nice are a no go)

Meh! Do it OP!... it's a brilliant name and she'll only be the only one in school, and still swerving the being 'Out there crowd'. It's a solid name vs the 13 letter 15 spelling options brigade 😶

I’ve always thought Polly goes beautifully with Nancy. I know not everyone is bothered about sibling names “going” but they’re definitely in the same vein I think

Nancy's sister must be called Peggy (Margaret) because of Swallows and Amazon's.
Or Ruth.
You could call her Susan
(or Titty Grin)
Or Mavis

Elliott isnt a girls name. People say it is because of Scrubs, but Elliott's name in scrubs is part of the back story about her father making no attempt to hide he wanted her to be a boy.

It also does have various spellings - you can vary the number of ts and ls.

I only know male Elliots, but I do know a female Ellis in her 20's.

I agree, Elliot is a solid boy's name. Try something complimentary to Nancy, as pps have suggested. It will sound nicer.
