Dd2 due soon and we just can't decide on a name. Our shortlist at the moment is:

Beatrix
Eva
Juniper
Astrid

We also have no clue on middle names either!

Choosing DD1's name (Rose) was very easy but this time it is a whole different ball game.

Any suggestions welcome!

Beatrix is cute although I prefer Beatrice. Eva goes well too x

I love them all. I wouldn’t be brave enough to call my dc Juniper, but still love it!

I love Astrid so much, its my favourite girls name. I'd go with that.

lucymegan · 20/05/2019 20:00

I struggled hard for dd2's name. She was 3 weeks old without a name 🤦🏻‍♀️ people always say girls names are easy..well I don't think so lol.

I like Eva from your list.

Other names I like.
Lily
Lacey
Noelle
Bonnie
Connie
Marnie

especially love Beatrix shortened to Bea

I also think Rose and

Kitty
Genevieve
Alma
Ramona
Suzette
Polly
Helen/ Helena
Delilah

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 20/05/2019 20:06

Beatrix Eva

daisypond · 20/05/2019 20:19

Beatrix. But I prefer Beatrice.

helpmum2003 · 20/05/2019 20:20

Beatrix prefer Beatrice

Then Eva

Proseccofuelled · 20/05/2019 20:24

Beatrix Juniper & Astrid are so cool I’m jealous you’re allowed names like that as I’d never get them through in this house Grin

Juno is another you might like

HappybutsometimesGrouchy · 20/05/2019 20:31

If you use Beatrix it will probably get shortened to Bea (which I adore). Rose and Bea sound so cute together, very nature inspired!

beeRB · 20/05/2019 21:15

Oh thank you for all your comments!

If we went for Beatrix we would likely use Bea as a nn (it is adorable and sounds fab with Rose). We just don't have the same love for Beatrice though hence that not being on our list.

DH is so great with names and open to something different and quirky so there are no battles in getting anything past him Grin

Our preference today is Juniper but it changes daily 🤷‍♀️

@Peachbubble Willow was one of my favourites but unfortunately the DH isn't a fan Shock

@Paultrybudget Fearne, Eliza and Matilda are all great too!

Florence is my grandmothers name so a contender for a middle name position!

Beatrix is lovely.

averylongtimeago · 20/05/2019 22:17

How about Zilpha?

Icklepup · 21/05/2019 09:35

Like the suggestion of Eliza! Rose and Eliza :) I like Juniper best from your list.

outsho · 21/05/2019 13:32

I have a Beatrix, great name. Also love Astrid.

outsho · 21/05/2019 13:33

Should add my Beatrix likes to be called Trixie. I tried to get Bea to stick but it never did...

BlueMerchant · 21/05/2019 13:37

Eliza Florence

flissfloss65 · 21/05/2019 13:40

I like Bea so would choose Beatrix. Rose and Bea sound lovely.

beeRB · 21/05/2019 15:21

@outsho I am also a fan of Trixie, so that works out and I'm happy for it to be her choice Smile

Ahhhh choosing names is so hard!!!
