Celeste or Clemintine

your mother is going to HATE both (Brucie bonus)

How do you get Rudy from Reuben btw? Isn't Rudy a completely different name?

GreenElizabeth · 30/05/2008 21:48

Definitely can't have Isabella and an Annabel. That is too many bels.

Dizzy, your baby is like a ship, and I name her............... Eve (Evelyn) in full to match the long name short name thing.

Eve or Nancy or Nina OK? now shuddup.

(only joking!)

dizzydixies · 30/05/2008 21:49

mamatama I could do with a serene composed dc tbh, esp after dd2 who fulfills the meaning of her name exactly - she is a wee thug

I think Cassius is fab and goes with the girls names well and would be nice shortened to Cass

Reuben would make a nice Rudy when he is wee?

Jude fulfills the one syllable

Ella, Lexie and Jude - very finished iyswim? does that make sense or silly?

Caleb and Roan am not so sure of anymore

Corin I still like but not as strong a contender as Cassius, Jude or Reuben

god am going round in circles

Celeste and Jasmine are both bcp. I never took either but I still know that. Puts me off.

Celine is better than Celeste imo.

Am I right that you don't know any body with children called Georgina/Nina,Gigi, Nancy or Eve??

A one syllable name works really well, yes.

dcp bcp

I forgot I liked GreenElizabeths suggestion of claudia earlier too

now to find out what they all mean

OP posts:
dizzydixies · 30/05/2008 22:12

cantsleepwontsleep rudy and reuben are completely different but I think a baby Rudy is very sweet and frankly if you can get 'pants' from Nancy why not Rudy from Reuben

OP posts:
dizzydixies · 30/05/2008 22:14

Claudia means Lame or little lame one

OP posts:
dizzydixies · 30/05/2008 22:17

Cordelia - that was it

means heart from latin or celtic - daughter of the sea

OP posts:
CantSleepWontSleep · 30/05/2008 22:18

Well there's logic for you .

I think she means birth control pill!

If you're so keen on Jude, then why not Judith for a girl, which can be shortened to the same?

I love Henrietta too, which can be shortened to Hetty or Hen.
Or Harriet, with Hats, Hattie or Harry as nns.

CantSleepWontSleep · 30/05/2008 22:19

I love Cordelia. Cordy or Della (not for you) for short. Dh vetoed it from my list.

dizzydixies · 30/05/2008 22:20

I knew a Judith at school and wasn't fond so would only have it for a boy

isn't it terrible how associations can ruin a perfectly fine name

I like Henrietta but would use Etta and that too close to Ella

Harriet not so keen for some strange reason may grow on me yet

OP posts:
dizzydixies · 30/05/2008 22:21

can I get Coco or cora as a nn for Cordelia?

or is that too much of my weirdy logic again

what about corinna? Nina/Cora?

OP posts:
CantSleepWontSleep · 30/05/2008 22:23

Cora a different name from Cordelia, but don't let that stop you .

dizzydixies · 30/05/2008 22:25

am getting the feeling you're the naming police in disguise!!

OP posts:
GreenElizabeth · 30/05/2008 22:36

Yes meant birth control pills!

Cordelia can be Coco definitely
Georgina Nina
Nancy
Eve
Corinna with Nina/Cora is clever but prefer Cordelia!

You have a growing list here! And importantly I approve of them all.

I like Claudia too, but Clementine is too germanic next to latin Isabella and Alexandra (what I really mean is don't like it). It took me 7 posts to remember to mention Clementine. Also, people will say it like the satsuma clementeen, when it is clementyne. Too confusing.

dizzydixies · 30/05/2008 22:38

Eugeine nn Gene?

OP posts:
dizzydixies · 30/05/2008 22:39

Ps, just pick Cordelia Eve! Or Cordelia Georgina

You can put Cordelia on the birth cert and then you can spend the next five years deciding whether she should be

Cora, Coco, Delia, Celia, Didi, Lia...
I can't think of a name with more nns.
