Alice was the only girls name we could agree on.

DH vetoed:
Lara
Violet
April
Wren

Had a boy so it became moot...

If I had a daughter she'd be called Sophia Lucy. If I had another... not sure. Maybe Vivianne Grace or Georgiana Pearl or Clara Hope.

@earthyfire

Oh and I really like the name Primrose but don't think I would be brave enough.

Oh I know a Primrose and it seems totally normal and lovely once you're used to it.
She gets shortened to Prim sometimes. Honesty not as out there as a LOT of other names I come across.
Use it - it's beautiful!

Caitlin - we call her Kitty
Scarlett - goes by middle name Esme
Selina - called Lulu from a baby

Currently pregnant if it's a girl will be called Felicity. Who knows what it'll be shortened to 😂

Our girl choices are Maisie, Emily and Eleanor (Ella). I also love Alice but we have an Alfie already and my husband is Alex and that would just be far too confusing!
