I’m due quite soon and can only think of boys names - I’m telling myself it’s a sign as we’re keeping the sex a surprise. I like boys names like Ernest (Ernie), Walter, Barnaby and Wilfred but the only can girls name that sits nicely with me is Betsy and I can’t think of an appropriate middle name. Any suggestions - please suggest first names too!

I never thought of Winifred before and now it’s definitely in consideration! Thank you!

Betsy is sweet would you use as a stand-alone or for Elizabeth ?

If just Betsy I’d pair with a long classic:
Betsy Josephine
Betsy Madeleine
Betsy Georgiana

If a nn for Elizabeth then something short & simple:
Elizabeth Jane
Elizabeth Ada
Elizabeth Dulcie

PandasMum · 15/10/2019 18:40

No not Betsy Josephine BJ Confused

I would just use the name Betsy and not Elizabeth, I really like the sounds of those longer names after it!
