Lucy/Lucinda or Meredith. Congratulations!

Ikeameatballs · 22/12/2018 19:58

I don’t like Jocelyn and not keen on Etta.

I like the others, it really depends upon how they flow with your surname.

HarrietM87 · 22/12/2018 19:58

Lucy

swimmerforlife · 22/12/2018 20:04

I love Lucy. Was on my shortlists both times but I had sons.

Jocelyn is also very nice.

Honeybee79 · 22/12/2018 20:05

Verity

RedDwarves · 22/12/2018 20:25

Love Lucy. It's a fabulous name.

Congrats! Smile

Srilli · 22/12/2018 20:27

Etta 💕

Pinkkittens292 · 22/12/2018 21:19

Meredith - I really like. I know of two aged 13 and 6.
Jocelyn - Love this. I know of one little one, shortened to Jossie.
Etta - I like, but would probably use as a short form of Henrietta.
Lucy - My favourite on your list. It's a name that never seems to go out of favour. I named my angel baby this.
Verity - I'm not over keen, sorry. x

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 22/12/2018 21:30

Lucy.

squirrelnutkins1 · 22/12/2018 21:38

Meredith or Etta.

Sophronia · 22/12/2018 23:11

Congrats! I like Meredith.

Lumpy76 · 22/12/2018 23:13

Love Meredith and Merry is very fitting for the time of year she’s born. Many congratulations!!

Shadow1234 · 22/12/2018 23:22

Meredith is my favourite on your list.

wombatsears · 22/12/2018 23:37

Meredith

SnowyPaws5 · 22/12/2018 23:41

Anything but Verity. Verity is the most wet fish name ever.

My favourite out of your list is Etta.

DramaAlpaca · 22/12/2018 23:42

It would have to be Lucy for me, it's so gorgeous.

Amazonian27 · 22/12/2018 23:45

Lucy is quite common among my DC’s peers 13 and 14. Out of your list th only name I like is Verity. I have never cane across a Verity before it’s different but sounds lovely. Have you looked up the meaning of the names you like as one might stand out for you.

Notveryadventurousname · 23/12/2018 00:22

Meredith - Edie for short?

moredoll · 23/12/2018 06:57

Meredith (nn Merry)
Verity
Lucy
Jocelyn
Etta

Creas35 · 23/12/2018 08:08

Shout them all out loud like you would in a playground and see if any sound odd to you get the list down by a few! I love Etta from your list x

CakeRattleandRoll · 23/12/2018 13:51

Love Jocelyn nn Joss.

Highlowpo · 23/12/2018 18:19

Meredith nn Merry is top of our list. We love that it has lots of nickname options.

daisypond · 23/12/2018 18:46

I like Lucy and Verity best. Quite like Jocelyn. Not wild about Etta - feels like a nickname, it's a bit bland. I don't like Meredith at all.

Tina35 · 23/12/2018 18:52

Jorisa
Klarisa
Anela
