What about Alice if you like Grace?

I personally wouldn't have Elizabeth and Charles due to the royal family.

I love traditional names and these are all on my list

Elizabeth

Classic. Not overly common

So many nicknames
Beth, Bette, Bess Betsy, Betty, Lizzie, Libby, Liza

Festivfrenzy · 08/05/2023 16:55

Elizabeth for me- more flexible. Grace is too common now though it's nice too. The Claire of this generation I think

Pegsmum · 08/05/2023 17:40

I love the name Grace.

Rbaby · 08/05/2023 21:44

Thank you again everyone. I have suggested lots of these to my DH - nicknames for Elizabeth such as Betty, Eliza, Bette - he is not keen, only likes Beth, which I am not convinced on. We think Elizabeth in full is quite a big name for baby whilst they are little.

I have suggested Nina, Alice, Susie, Harriet and more and he is not keen! The only one he has suggested is Olivia which I am not keen on and also aware of how popular it has been.

I think we are swaying towards Grace Elizabeth. Our surname begins with a G and I like the alliteration.

A bit nervous about Grace's popularity. I feel it is more of a classic than Claire as someone suggested, so it would stand the test of time better than the generation in which this was used a lot.

Will keep you updated when we finally decide!

I actually really like Grace. Some other names which I think go with your boys names Ivy, Mabel, Rosa, Evelyn, Georgie, Olive. Or go for Elizabeth and Libby (your husband can call her Beth 🤪

Rbaby · 22/05/2023 17:38

Thank you for everyone's help. We decided on:

Grace Elizabeth Sara

Registered today so no changing now!

Sorry , I missed your update .

StopFeckingFaffing · 22/05/2023 17:44

I prefer Elizabeth to Grace

Beth is nice but personally I prefer Lizzie, Eliza or Betty

PumpkinsAndCoconuts · 22/05/2023 17:54

I previously commented (and preferred Elizabeth).

But Grace Elizabeth Sara really is lovely. And seeing Grace used as a first name feels surprisingly refreshing! 💐

quietnightmare · 22/05/2023 17:57

Stunning

Pamalot · 23/05/2023 17:51

Penelope, Daphne or Cecelia
