A sister for Martha

DD2 is due in less than two weeks and we still haven’t picked a name. I am getting really stressed as DD1 was over a week early and I really don’t want the baby to be born before we’ve chosen something! Really different this time around as we picked DD1’s name straight away and both loved it.

We have gone back and forth on names a lot but just can’t find anything we really love. Lots that are nice and we both like, but nothing that’s stuck. We like classic, elegant, strong, old fashioned names, which will suit a grown woman as well as a little girl.

Please hit me with your suggestions! Thanks so much!

My daughter is called Hester. If I’d had any more girls I would have gone for Martha. I think they have a similar feel.

funnyoldonion · 27/11/2021 18:27

Esther?

WhoIsBernieBrown · 27/11/2021 18:29

Nancy and Audrey as PPs have said would work really well. I also love Olive!
