Theodora
Dorothy
Vivienne
Felicity
Imogen

Thanks

Theodora I really like, it gives the options for a slightly cooler nn as a teen/preteen and sounds good for wedding day/resume too. I'm not keen on nn Dora but due to thinking people may say does the explorer?

Dorothy I don't really like it but I like dotty or lottie for nn

Vivienne I quite like, sounds classy but not sure how I see it on all ages of a person

Felicity I love, delicate and girly, options for nn rather than just one but lovely also kept long

Imogen not keen sorry

Frances not keen and can't really see it on a person of all ages but it's a decent middle name

Laura personally not keen as first but like it as middle

I mention nn alot because my dd has a name you wouldn't shorten.. Usually however everyone does like nursery and I cannot stand certain ones.. I named her her full name and that's what she is called by us but I think whether it's children at some point in their life or others will always try to shorten them.
Loved violet for first name but decided against as I knew someone would call her vi!
