We are expecting a little girl in March and both like the following names:
Genevieve (nn Evie)
Matilda (nn Tilly)
Elspeth (nn Elsie)
My husband also likes names like Rosie, Eleanor etc but I'm not so keen. I have grown up with one of the most popular girls names for the past 30 years so would really love to use a name that is slightly unusual (not out there), but is classic and has potential to grow with our daughter from childhood to adulthood.
My favourite is Genevieve, due to the different options for nicknames, and I think as a full name it is timeless, feminine and strong. DH likes it too but feels a bit confused as to whether we would introduce her to people using her full name or nickname (!) - therefore prefers Matilda, Rosie etc.
Would like to know your thoughts and any other names that are similar?
