C-section tomorrow and still no idea on what this little lady’s name is.

What’s your vote?

I once lived on Etta Street! It is the only street by that name in whole of England! Sorry, not helpful.

So I do actually have an update to the little lady’s name...

We did finally decide on Etta Grace but my husband never felt that comfortable using it as it was definitely my name choice and I’d just worn him down 🥴 Oops!
As much as I love it, it didn’t feel right for him to not feel comfortable to use his daughters name.
We’d been calling her our little Dot since birth as she is so teeny so we very quickly came to the name Theodora Grace and we call her Dot/Dottie.
We both feel happy now and we love all the nickname variations if she grows out of being a little Dottie and wants to be Thea/Dora/Teddy etc or just Theodora.
So her name is now completely different and wasn’t even on the shortlist but it really feels like it’s the right name for her 💗

What a lovely update!! I do love Theodora Grace nn Dot/Dottie!

Sewingbea · 17/04/2020 08:04

Beautiful name, best of all. Congratulations!

Ikeameatballs · 17/04/2020 09:02

Love the update and the update name!

Whatsyourflava · 17/04/2020 10:06

Thank you SO much for the further update! I actually prefer Theordora ( nn Dot /Dotty!) but liked Etta too! Really appreciate you updating us - you sound like a lovely person to want your husband to be totally happy too! I was never that bothered about my husbands feelings - you’ve made me realise I was a bit selfish when it came to baby names . Congratulations OP @Sheshallbenameless1

Whatsyourflava · 17/04/2020 10:07

Yes Theodora is great for nickname options and a lovely full name too - perfect!

Cherryboms · 17/04/2020 10:10

Pearl or Olive.... Both Gorgeous names x

JiltedJohnsJulie · 17/04/2020 11:12

@Cherryboms please RTFT.

Theodora is absolutely beautiful. Congratulations again Thanks

AnyaMoondial · 18/04/2020 07:06

Thanks op! I think this is the nicest update I’ve ever seen! Lovely that you both feel happy with the name now and an absolutely brilliant name and nn! Perfect!

MrsCantthinkofaname · 18/04/2020 10:26
