boys list is sorted

[eatthedamnpizza]

Looking for suggestions. we're having trouble finding a girls name we really like. So far we have

Cassie
Brooke
Nancy
Eliza
Rosie
Love love Isis but yeah not using that

Our boys list was a doddle and is compiled of very traditional names like James & Richard etc but it seems we have a different taste for girl. I love Jane but DP doesn't. Based off our list what else would you suggest?

Eliza or Rosie for me

Love Rosie and Nancy.

our pick for a DD was always Alessia, but it wasn't to be! Also really loved Cleo x

Peggy
Margot
Kitty
Marion

Clara
Mabel
Vivienne
Victoria
Beth

Jane is great. Simple and elegant.

All your other suggestions, apart from Brooke (a surname, which I do not like), are short forms. I know not everyone agrees, but I think it's nicer to have a long name so that the child/later adult can choose. Rosie, Cassie etc are sweet and cutesy for babies, but I'd hate to be an adult without a more dignified alternative.

So
Cassie = Cassandra
Nancy = Anne, Anna, Agnes or even Annabel
Eliza = Elizabeth
Rosie = Rose, Rosa, Rosemary, Rosalind, Rosamund, Rosalie etc etc

Otherwise, if you like James and Richard, what about Jemima or Richenda? Or Margaret, Emma, Susannah, Diana, Alice, Mary, Helena...

Carrie
Carla
Anna
Naomi
Natalie
Rosslyn
Greta
Belinda

Iris

I do think Jane is next for revival, so if you can persuade your DP you could be at the vanguard - it's a mid century classic!

Rather than Isis (it's such a shame..) - Lois, Ines or Annis? (would suggest Iris but overused)

Cassie - great as a nn for Cassia/Cassandra. Not as a full name.

Nancy - love it - as is or as nn for an Anna / Annis / Annabel etc

Eliza - I like it but it's a bit overused. Pref as a nn for Elizabeth as it's a bit young.
Rosie - lovely as a nn for Rose/Rosanna etc, but too babyish for a full name - but anyway I'd knock it off because there are so many of them
Brooke - it's too faddy for me! But it's one of the better ones of those types of names (and Brooke Shields is a admirable Hollywood survivor)

Love love Isis but yeah not using that

June/Juno

Heidi
Callie
Posy
Polly
Molly
Daisy
Hallie
Nellie
Penny
Penelope
Matilda
Primrose
Josie
Eloise
Daphne
Edie
Clara
Olive

Would dh prefer Jayne over Jane? Or Janet?

Cassie - nice, but also nn for Cassandra
Brooke - nice
Nancy - dislike, Nancy-boy connotations
Eliza - nice
Rosie - nice, also nn for Rosemary, Rosalind, Roseanne etc
