Love Jocelyn.

Gravel1 · 22/12/2018 12:52

Not ETA

Didyeeaye · 22/12/2018 13:05

My favourites are Lucy and Meredith. Probably prefer Meredith but not keen on Merry as a nn. What does she look more like?

Icklepup · 22/12/2018 13:09

Little Lucy!

Disfordarkchocolate · 22/12/2018 13:11

Those are all very lovely names. Verity and Meridith are my favourites. Congratulations.

E20mom · 22/12/2018 13:12

Etta

Peachbubble · 22/12/2018 13:14

Meredith or Lucy

MikeUniformMike · 22/12/2018 13:15

Lucy. Love it.
Don't like the others.

DonkeysDontRideBicycles · 22/12/2018 13:16

I like Etta and Lucy best.

averylongtimeago · 22/12/2018 13:19

They are all nice, but not Etta.
An unusual name is Zilpha- one of my favourites.

Thank you, just the comments I was looking for-food for thought:)
She’s chunky, dark haired & will have blue eyes. I’m pushing for Lucy but other half not up for it!

Go with Lucy. It's classic. Meredith and Joscelyn are a bit masculine. Verity sounds like Ferrety and Etta will be Etta Sandwich or something.

17caterpillars1mouse · 22/12/2018 13:40

Love Meredith and Jocelyn. I would choose one of those. Lucy as mn?

Congratulations

ernjas · 22/12/2018 15:01

Etta!!!

FestiveNut · 22/12/2018 15:05

Love Meredith. My DH vetoed it. Sad

diddl · 22/12/2018 15:31

Etta is by far the best.

MumUnderTheMoon · 22/12/2018 18:23

All lovely, what about lucette or lucetta it would give you the feel of two of the names you like.

NotNowAudrey · 22/12/2018 19:29

Other names I like are Erin, Ivy, Polly, felicity, Nina, norah, olive, rose and Xanthe

Cosmoa · 22/12/2018 19:45

Jocelyn ❤️

Santababyclaus · 22/12/2018 19:47

Lucy

Petalflowers · 22/12/2018 19:50

Love Meredith.

What about Lucinda or Lucille, with Lucy as a nn?

Sarahandduck18 · 22/12/2018 19:52

Verity
