Hi all, 27wks on Friday and DH and I have a shortlist of favourites for girl names, I love having a browse through these threads, so I thought I'd share and see which one you guys think is a winner / winning combo, plus potential nn's! We have one strong favourite right now, although time could change that! Here goes..

Philippa (Pippa/Pip)
Abigail (Abbie)
Liberty (Libby)
Florence (Flo)
Cora

Potential middle names of Rose, Grace or Florence (if not first name, obviously)

  1. Florence Rose
  2. Cora Grace
  3. Abigail Rose

Not keen on Philippa or Liberty

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 19/12/2018 10:17

Yes all nice names. However just to let you know that in certain places 'Pippa' means a blow job. Something you might want consider, especially if you travel a lot.

Abigail Florence. Lovely!

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 19/12/2018 10:28

Liberty Florence, love Libby !
Abigail Rose

Lobsterquadrille2 · 19/12/2018 11:25

Liberty Grace. Love it.

Sophronia · 19/12/2018 11:26

I like Philippa Florence best. Followed by Cora Grace.

clownstotheleft · 19/12/2018 11:43

Thanks for the heads up @Awwlookatmybabyspider ! I haven't heard that before! I think Philippa might be off the table then!

Cora Grace :)

Icklepup · 19/12/2018 17:08

Abigail Florence

Shadow1234 · 19/12/2018 19:03

Liberty Grace is lovely.

ReginaPhalange89 · 19/12/2018 20:19

I love them all apart from Liberty, it doesn't have the same feel as the others to me.... forgive me for saying it but it just makes me think of a name a young chav mum would use !

ForAMinuteThere · 19/12/2018 21:39

Cora for me. Not too keen on the others. Philippa and Abigail are names of my era (40) and remind me of names like Stephen, Richard etc. Nothing wrong with them at all, just very much a different time.

Picknickers · 19/12/2018 23:03

Liberty Florence is gorgeous.

17caterpillars1mouse · 20/12/2018 19:23

I really like Philippa and both nicknames, though i prefer Pip to Pippa

Also really like Abigail nn Abbey - a lovely classic that seems quite underused these days

I like Florencd but it is very popular

Cora is nice enough

I really dont like Liberty

Rose and Grace seem a bit dull as middle names as they are so overused but Florence is lovely and unexpected

I would go with Philippa Florence or Abigail Florence

Sarahandduck18 · 20/12/2018 20:11

They are very different!

Liberty is quite pop stary whereas Florence is Public school Home Counties.

chipsnmayo · 20/12/2018 20:36

Agree Abigail Florence is lovely.

Liberty Grace is also nice.

clownstotheleft · 20/12/2018 21:33

Thank you all for your feedback!

My personal favourite is Cora, whilst my DH is favouring Libby (we don't want to use Elizabeth which is the traditional long version due to family connections). We both love the name meaning of Liberty, but probably won't be using any of the long versions of the names from this list on a daily basis, as they are mostly mouthfuls (hence the nn's). With three more months to go I'm sure we'll have many more added and discounted from the list along the way, lol!
