Help narrow down my shortlist!

[cheddaraddict]

We’re not sure yet if we’re having a boy or a girl. We have a boy’s name we both like but are struggling for a girl’s name. Names on my short list (although not sure DH is in love with any of them!) are:

Cora
Sylvia (nn Sylvie)
Audrey
Margot

Would be a sister for Rosa, our surname is one syllable.

Would love your thoughts!

I like Sylvia

Sylvia or Cora :)

I prefer Sylvie to Sylvia and think it works better with Rosa, so I’d go for Sylvie.

I like all the names on your list - though that probably doesn’t help!

I only like Margot. Sylvia is just an old woman’s name but not the type of name that’s back in fashion in any way, just an old woman’s name.

Not cora

Rosa and Cora don't sound good together

Sylvia

Really love all 4 of your names! Favourite is Margot I think

Sylvia

Cora

In order, I like:
Audrey
Sylvia
Margot

I don't like Cora at all and I think it's very twee when paired with Rosa.

Love them all
Particularly Margot

Hmm, I do wonder at how well Rosa and Cora go, or if they’re too similar. We do have a DS as well, so would be the three of them rather than just Rosa and Cora, if that makes a difference?

I like sylvia thats my fave out of those

I like sylvia thats my fave out of those

I was going to say Cora but I think it's too similar to Rosa. Not keen on Sylvia (too me Old Lady rather than Old Lady Chic!). Love Margot and Audrey though!

Sylvia/Sylvie

Thanks everyone for your thoughts so far - I appreciate the honesty. I do like Sylvia but I worry it’s a bit of a “marmite” name, as it seems to be above. DH has said he likes Margot, and that we could use the nickname Maggie at home. Is that a bit of a stretch or do you think it’s ok?

Sylvia.

There will always be someone who hates the game you’ve chosen. FWIW Maggie is much more old lady to me but we all have our own associations don’t we?

*name

Cora.

Margot is my favourite, followed by Sylvia (though agree with PP, Sylvie is nicer)

I like all of them but find Cora too similar to Rosa. I would go for Cory or Carey or something slightly more differentiated.

I think Sylvia is rather classic, actually, and I prefer it to Sylvie which is more fashionable now but won't be for ever.

Audrey and Margot are both nice names.

DH thinks that Cora is too similar to Rosa, I had kind of dismissed him until I read the PPs! It also works least well with our surname...

Find out in a week if baby is a boy or a girl - almost hoping for a boy just so naming is easier!
