If I like Elizabeth

These are the names that I really like, we had pretty much decided on one but it appears to have been chosen by someone in the village in last couple of weeks and as it's a small village and not a massively popular name in our area it has put me off! I'd love some more suggestions. I typically like classic but not super popular with the exception of a couple which don't really fall into that camp.

Elizabeth / Elspeth / Eliza
Eleanor
Constance (Connie) *dp hates this
Agnes
Demelza *he also hates this and I'm not sure I'd have the balls to use it anyways as it's so marmite
Iris

Really don’t like Demelza
Connie is really sweet - you could try Celine Cadence or even Cassandra - might be a bit of a stretch but I doubt anyone would think much of it
Eleanor is lovely

With the exception of Elspeth, I'm not really a fan of any of your list Blush if you have Cornish roots and love it, you could use Demelza as a middle name?

First names that spring to mind:
Victoria
Clara
Diane/Diana
Louisa
Emma
Esther
Jane
Catherine
Caroline
Beatrice
Juliet
Portia

justswanning · 13/05/2019 18:59

I have an Elizabeth that we shorten and I love the name, it's so versatile

Aquamarine1029 · 13/05/2019 19:01

Lillian.

CloserIAm2Fine · 13/05/2019 19:31

Elizabeth is my all time favourite name. I would probably use it anyway tbh. I wouldn’t want to end up wishing I had if the other Elizabeth leaves the village in six months time!

Other names I love are:

Isobel/Isabella although it’s extremely popular if you add up the various spellings
Charlotte
Beatrice
Amelia
Georgia
Harriet

MaLittleBubbas · 13/05/2019 19:38

Iris is lovely, as is Elizabeth. the others I am not so keen on.
Would you like Eliza? Its a beautiful name, nicer than Elizabeth imo, its less fussy iyswim.

easterbuns1 · 13/05/2019 21:40

Elizabeth wasn't "the one" it was another one from the list, Eleanor. I do love Elizabeth but dp not as keen.

I do like a lot of the suggestions but they are either already in family / good friends.

It's really hard, took us ages to agree.

Dp really likes Georgie but I'd rather have something more formal on bc but he doesn't like Georgina for instance.
