What are your DD and DS's names - perhaps that'll help.

How about:-

Jemima (Mimi)
Nancy
Elizabeth (Lizzie/Nell)

I love Victoria/Tori but is that too twee for you?!

I like Alice and Natalie, but DH doesn't. My DD and DS are Lucia and Elijah - so a bit unusual, and we want something similarly unusual, but not weird or made up or really difficult to spell. I guess 'classic but uncommon' is our criterior, as well as 'pretty' for a DD.

I also like Georgiana but wonder if its too pretentious, and like Grace, but its very well used where we are.

I second the vote for Stephanie. Pretty, classic, everyone can spell it, not to common. and lots of ways to shorten it.

I also love Caitlin
