We’re due a baby girl very soon and still undecided about the name - we have plenty we like, none either of us really love. The current shortlist is:

Abigail
Ada
Grace
Isobel
Lucy
Mabel
Madeline
Phoebe

I also like Beatrice, Clara, Cora and Martha, but DH doesn’t.

All names go equally well with our surname. The middle name will be Rose after a family member but we are not too worried about the name ‘flowing’, nor are we overly worried about popularity.

Please help!

Lucy. Or Grace.
Lucy just jumped out to me when I read your post.
Lucy Rose is beautiful. 💗

Madeline reminds me of the missing child. I like Lucy. It’s timeless and classy. Why not wait till the baby is here and see what suits her.

Lovely list, all nice names. I think my favourite is Abigail, but also like Mabel.

I love Grace. They are all nice.
I think Madeline will be very popular at the moment because of Lily Allen.
