this is my 3rd 'what do think you of this name' thread...somebody help me!

[mabel1973]

I am eternally grateful to anyone who can be bothered to look at this...I am getting bored with it myself

DH and I have now reached a stalemate.
the only names we can agree on are Nancy and Lola.

neither of them really do it for me, but are the least awful of DH's choices and the only ones that he likes of my choices.

Is lola getting too popular now?

Lola is very popular, I'd say, yes, but a great name. Also love Nancy.

I like all of your other suggestions. I still don't get why it's so bad to have a Freddie and a Florence. It's not even that way round on the label.

I liked Pearl too. DH did not.

Sympathies though. Our 3rd child, who was our first girl wasn't registered until the last possible day. I think girls names are so much harder.

If Flora is a problem re margarine ,what about Fleur.

Maretta...that was my 1st baby name thread...! whether we should go for florence under the circumstances, most people on here and most of our friends agreed that we shouldn't because of Tesco.
however since then 2 friends have had babies called Florence, so that's put us off totally now!

I love Nancy but find Lola a bit sexual.

IF you go for Lola, could you put Paloma or Eloise on the bc?

LOVE Nancy though. In the same category (imo) I lke Dulcie, Polly, Edith, Sadie, Maggie, Lois.

Isla, Freya

Nancy is lovely.

Lila - what about putting an h on the end to be different from Kate Moss - Lilah is very pretty.

If you like 'older' names, what about Emmeline? Good suffragette connotations too!

I like Nancy a lot more than Lola.

I will try to add a few more suggestions in 'old lady chic fashion.' Have posted a few before so excuse repeats. I like all of these:

Adelaide/ Ada
Alice
Amelia
Beatrix
Betsie/ Betty/ Bessy
Connie
Cecily/ Cecilia
Eve/ Evelyn
Eliza
Delilah
Faith
Harriet
Henrietta
Lydia
Maude
Maggie
Marianne
Matilda
Mary
Ma bel (still like this- sorry about you cat)
Olive
Rosalind/ Rosamund
Susanna
Theadora/ Dora
Viola

I especially love Alice, Eliza, Cecily, Olive, Maude, Matilda. Hope you find 'the one'!

millicent shortened to millie?
love this but doesnt go with my surname!

nancy is lovely and grows from childhood to suiting an adult
lola is nice too

annie? emmie? what about orla

Dora?

Olivia (with Lola / Lollie / Livvy for short?)

Freya?

Topaz? (random, but I like it!)

I really like Lola though. I know a Lola who has a sister called Poppy. Lola is a better name than Poppy though IMO.

Nancy is lovely. I'm personally not so keen on Lola as all I can think of is Charlie and Lola, but thats not exactly a bad thing is it.

My other favourite is Connie.

Nancy is what ds2 wold have been called.I think Nancy is getting more popular than Lola though.But,it's your choice[obviously].Good luck.

Nancy is great. Sassy and pretty.

If names being popular put you off, then don't use Lola. My DS has two in his group at nursery and we know another through a music class.

Sadie?

Nancy, definitely, every time. A perfect name - you dh has excellent taste!

hmmmmmm. Lola is very popular and Dolores means pains..would put me off. Don't like Nancy at all, but no suggestions either I'm afraid. sorry.

Macaco, I was just going to point that out too!

Do you really want to give your daughter a name that means "pains"?

Nancy´s nice. My step-grandmother was a Nancy. She was very smart and glam.

i liked tilly, and olive

Lola - doesn't everyone just think Charlie and Lola every time they hear it?

I like Nancy - I'm sure I read somewhere that it started as a nickname for Ann. Or did I make that up?

How about Stella?

yes i think nancy is a name for ann
i knoe an annie that got called nancy

Anne and Nancy are not related names! nancy is a name in its own right!

Both lovely. I know a lot of Lolas now though. I know one Nancy and she's about six months old.
