Della
Emilie
Estella
Rosalie
Enya
Esmerelda (Esme)
Giulia
India
Margaux
Daphne

These are just some of the names I like, my great nan who's 93 is called margaret so hence Margaux although not a favourite, any suggestions similar or that you think I might like might be great, also any first and middle combos would be interesting, something not too crazy but also not boring, Marie is a family name but not my middle name so potentially looking for different TY x

Actually in this case I'd choose Margaret, because it is so unusual as a baby name these days, and can be shortened into so many diminutives there must be one you like: Meg, Peg, Mags,Maggie, Margie ( with a soft it hard G), Peggy, Molly, Daisy.

That's soft OR hard G

I don't like Margaret or Margaux at all, they're horribly dated and don't look or sound nice in my opinion.

Rosalie Enya would be my choice. It's lovely ♡

I also love Della, Emilie and Estella.

Enya will make everyone think of the singer (and I love Enya - but I don't think I'd want to be named after her).

I would use Rosalie Giulia. Esmeralda is very pretty but I don't think I'd want to be called that either. It's a lot of name.

I would also just go for Margaret and then pick one of the many nicknames. I'm not that keen on your list (sorry) and I think Margaret is due a comeback. (Possibly already making a comeback in certain hipster circles.)

Like Maggie, Meg and Peggy as nicknames.

peperethecat · 27/05/2020 16:17

Actually I like Emilie and Rosalie (nn Rosa?) from your list.

Lobsterquadrille2 · 27/05/2020 16:24

I think Emilie Margaret is lovely.

Anni3getyourgun · 27/05/2020 16:29

Love Daphne...
Daphne Estella or Daphne India
or
Rosalie Margaux

Edenember · 27/05/2020 17:30

I like Esmerelda best x

Blursula · 27/05/2020 19:36

I love Della! Unusual yet pretty and simple to pronounce and spell. Ticks all the boxes. Della Margaux is beautiful

I like Rosalie and Estella. I'd choose a variant of Margaret to honour your great Nan in the middle spot.

Rosalie Greta
Rosalie Gretel
Rosalie Pearl
Rosalie Gretchen

Estella Peggy
Estella Daisy
Estella Maisie
Estella May
Estella Maggie

DramaAlpaca · 27/05/2020 22:06

I'd have to go for Daphne Esmeralda. A bit frilly but I love it.

Tillygetsit · 27/05/2020 22:32

Rosalie Enya gets my vote. I love Esmeralda but she's one of our tortoises.

Estella Rosalie
