Help with DD2 name

[Polkadothearts]

We’ve just found out we’re expecting DD2 and starting to think about names.

DD is Stephanie but mostly called Stevie

I have a bit of a short list… What are peoples thoughts?

Philippa
Annalise
Annabelle
Catherine
Gwendolyn
Charlotte
Imogen
Caitlin

Any suggestions of other names?

All beautiful names, my favourite of that list is probably Imogen

Stephanie & Charlotte (Stevie & Lottie)

or

Stephanie & Philippa (Stevie & Pip/Pippa)

though I also love the name Catherine! (Stevie & Katie)

you’ve got some great names there x

I love Annelise. Beautiful name, Anne Frank’s name.
Definitely my favourite.

Oh really, I didn’t know this!

That’s what we like about these too, the full name combo but also nn name combos

Stephanie and Caitlin or Catherine sound perfect together

Other ideas Stephanie and
Jennifer
Jessica
Megan
Antonia.
Georgia.
Rachel
Erin
Rebecca

Stephanie is a great name and so refreshing to hear these days. I think Philippa or Annabelle would go really well.

Rosemary
Alexandra
Melissa
Juliette
Holly
Christina
Natalie
Marianne
Emilia
Victoria
Felicity

Philippa - an underused name, I quite like it
Annalise - Also quite like. Anna is nice for short
Annabelle - A bit more popular if that matters. Nice diminutive again
Catherine - Popular but I love this name. Even before the Princess of Wales I felt it was a classy sounding name. Not keen on Cath or Cathy though
Gwendolyn - Harsh sounding to my ear
Charlotte - lovely but very, very popular
Imogen - I've never liked this name. Nickname Immy?
Caitlin - Possibly lots of people will spell this wrong. Makes me think of Jenner.

Lots of classic names there. How about

Rachel
Rebecca
Alice
Elizabeth

Charlotte is my favourite.

What about:

Caroline
Geraldine
Georgina
Erin
Louisa
Bridget
Megan
Helena
Kate

Charlotte is my favourite too

also with Stephanie I like:
christina
harriet
natasha
elizabeth
georgina
samantha

if you wanted nicknames you’ve got Chrissie, Hattie, tasha, Libby/Beth etc, Georgie and sammy/Sam

Harriet
Phoebe
Genevieve
Lydia
Francesca
Felicity

I love Charlotte. Love the book Charlottes web and fell in love with the name. Dh vetoed the name. He said it was too posh! 😂😂

I work in early years and have a Lottie in our group and she is just the loveliest little girl.

I'm not sure any of them really go with Stephanie / Stevie.

Stephanie is a lovely 60s - 70s name with a rock vibe and the ideas you have are all contemporary and more classic.

Suggestions:
Caroline ( though very Monaco royal family)
Rosanna
Rhiannon (combined names very Fleetwood Mac)
Cecelia (Simon &Garfunkel song)
Hollie
Marianne
Alison

I like Philippa, Anneliese and Annabelle. Other options

harriet
josephine
henrietta
roberta
jennifer
juliet
julia
margaret
naomi
caroline
dorothy
theodora

Lovely names, similar ones

Araminta
Tabitha
Genevieve
Emanuella
Daniela

Stevie and Pippa sounds lovely and would have been my first thought for sure. But Phillippa - I’m not a fan of boys names with an A whacked on the end. Think Gwen is sooooooo cool and works well with Stevie.

I feel the same. Love Pippa and Stevie but not 100% sold on Philippa.
I LOVE Gwen but it’s DHs least favourite - he said it makes him think of an 90 year old 🙄

Josephine was one of DHs favourites for DD1. Not sure why we didn’t think of it straight away this time

Really like Juliet and Naomi

All great names, my favourites are Catherine, Gwendolyn and Charlotte.

Stevie and Cat/Katie, Stevie and Gwen/Wendy, Stevie and Charlie.

Juliet “Jules”
Josephine “Jojo”
Beatrice/Beatrix “Bea”
Charity “Cherry”
Elizabeth “Bess”
Evangeline “Angie”
Gabrielle “Gabby”
Matilda “Tilly”
Theodora “Teddy”
Leonora/Leona “Leo”
Winifred/Freda/Frederica “Freddie”
Caroline “Caro”

Stephanie nn Stevie is fabulous

I really like Gwendoline nn Gwen, Annalise (could be nn Nancy) Catherine/Caitlin nn Kate/Cait and Philippa.

Charlotte is done to death, Imogen slightly twee and heading towards overused and Annabel fussy.

Caroline nn Callie
Cassia nn Cassie
Robin
Lois
Meredith
Merryn
Stella
Cleo

Annis
Linnet
Aislinn (Ash-lin)
Catrin
Zoe
Joanna nn Jojo
Victoria nn Vita
Thora
Verity
Jessamy
Jessica nn Jessie
Jocelyn
Elizabeth nn Lizbie or Libby
Zelda
Marguarite nn Peggy/Maggie
Eleanor nn Lena

How lovely to have a Stephanie. I think Philippa goes really well with Stephanie.

From your list I'd choose Philippa.

The Stephanie I know has a sister called Erica :)
