Nancy Rose
Dorothy Lily
Lily Beatrice

But I actually like Beatrice Lily better

stressedespresso · 17/06/2024 01:10

Out of those options I prefer Nancy Rose

Personally Beatrice Rose is my favourite combination though

AdaColeman · 17/06/2024 01:14

Not Nancy Rose, it sounds more like the name for a boat.
Dorothy Lily sounds a little clunky with the two Y sounds so close together. Have you considered Dorothea Lily, that flows better.
Beatrice Lily is lovely.

ShyLionesss · 17/06/2024 01:18

Rose lily .. still cute name

Aria999 · 17/06/2024 01:22

Agree with pp, Beatrice Rose or Beatrice Lily.

RogueFemale · 17/06/2024 01:23

Any combo without Lily in it. Lily is so very very overdone.

If you like Beatrice, consider also Beatrix (as in Beatrix Potter).

Beatrice rose is beautiful

Love Isabella! Effie is a bit too nicknamey

Theoldwoman · 17/06/2024 01:30

Beatrice Lily

Idarosetta · 17/06/2024 01:38

Unfortunately OH isn’t keen on Beatrice as a first name. 🙁

Dorothy Rose flows better than Dorothy Lily, (because Dorothy and Lily both end in an 'ee' sound). I do like Lily (but it's overused).

Isabella, now you mention it is really gorgeous (but unfortunately also overused). Isabella Rose?
But Dorothy Rose is nice and more unusual.

Inspired from your list ..

Dorothea Rose
Nancy Rose
Beatrix Lily
Eufemia Rose
Rose Photini
Rosemary Anna

Moreteaandchocolate · 17/06/2024 06:03

Lily Beatrice is my favourite!

CurlewKate · 17/06/2024 06:05

Dorothy Rose

KnitnNatterAuntie · 17/06/2024 06:34

I really like Dorothy Rose . . . so pretty

Springwatch123 · 17/06/2024 07:01

Dorothy Lily is lovely.

Firsttimebabymummy · 17/06/2024 08:03

Dorothy Rose would be my choice

AngelDelightButNotStrawberry · 17/06/2024 08:13

Rose is every girls middle name, it’s so overdone. Not keen on Dorothy at all, Lily is lovely but so popular. Love Isabella but not Bella.

ChildrenOfTheQuorn · 17/06/2024 09:06

Isabella Beatrice. Rose is a big fat 🥱 from me.

Mumofgirls2017 · 17/06/2024 11:15

Dorothy Rose
Nancy Rose

TeamPolin · 17/06/2024 12:28

Prefer Beatrice Lily tbh.
Nancy Rose is nice

Dorothy is frumpy IMO....

TheCultureHusks · 17/06/2024 12:33

The first name is the important one. The other honestly has no significance to anyone but you! So don’t choose based on the ‘pair’ - choose the first name you like best. You’ll regret it if you don’t.

Beatrice is the best, and Bea an amazing short form but if your partner doesn’t like it, both Dorothy and Nancy are lovely. Think Dorothy edges it as has more options for shortening.

Rose works better than Lily for both of them, as a middle name.

Love this - was almost my DD’s name!

Went for Isabel Beatrice in the end
