Hello! I’ve narrowed down my girls name list to the below. Please could you rate them in order of preference and try not to be too harsh 😬

Dorie (after my grandmother, partner doesn’t like it though but it’s my fave 😭)
Rosie
Emma
Cassie
Eloise
Sophie

I like the names as they are and wouldn’t be putting longer versions on birth certs.

Love Emma and Sophie.

What about Dotty/Dottie as a shortened Dorothy. No to Carrie as that has sex in the city references. Emma is nice and classic, Eloise is also lonely and probably less used. Rosie is lovely. There are loads of Sophies.

Personal order of preference -

  1. Sophie - I know it's popular, but for a reason
  2. Emma - classic, lovely in lots of languages
  3. Cassie - sweet, and also kudos on naming your kid what you want and not feeling a pressure to use a formal name you may not like as much
  4. Rosie - I like Rose on it's own more but still cute
  5. Eloise - I also love the nn Wheezie (this may be a US thing lol)
  6. Dorie - I am so sorry, I mean no disrespect to your grandmother at all! I am just not a fan, but think it would be a cute middle name! It is actually one of my best friends middle name :)

for fun, mns I love with your favorites -

Dorie Kate
Dorie Annika nn Dani (throwing it out as a compromise for partner:)

Rosie Morgan
Rosie Renee

Emma Dorie
Emma Eden

Cassie Helena
Cassie Claire

Eloise Austen (little nod to Jane Austen)
