A sister for Lucy....

[TigerFeet]

dd2 is due in September and I am sadly lacking in inspiration when it comes to names.

I would like her middle name to be a family name, possibly Margaret or Florence after MIL as dd's middle name came from my side.

Lucy was the only name we agreed on when dd was born. We like traditional names, with dh being more conservative than I am. We weren't aware of Lucy's popularity when she was born but tbh I think we would have used it anyway. Her name suits her very well I feel.

So, any ideas gratefully received

how about evie / edie / eva / ava? all quite popular and feminine?

or elsa / ilsa was also big on our list

imogen shortens nicely to immy or genie

Charlotte
Eleanor
Cecily (sounds too like Lucy though?)

I like Florence for the middle name

ok

margot
??

Erin

florence for first name?

Megan (short form of Margaret)

Was going to suggest Ellen but see it is dd's middle name already!

Sally
Emily
Laura
Rose

we have a lucy (well, a lucy kate to be precise), if ds had been a girl he was going to be emma lousie.

I know a Lucy with a sister Ellie

Katie
Emma
Eva
Millie
Abbie
Matilda nn Tilly
Ella
Chloe
Sophie

sorry, emma louise not lousie

Hero (I so, so love this, but it isn't normal Trad)

Elizabeth
Eliza
Bethan
Esme/Maisie
Helen/a

Josephine

Emily
Polly
Charlotte
Nancy

I have an Eleanor and a Lucy.

nancy goes well

Lucy and Susannah
Lucy and Helena

I know a Robyn and Lucy.

Georgina?

Greta - another variation of Margaret
Nicole

Wow, loads more suggestions

Thanks all

Now all I need to to is catch dh in a decisive mood...

Fave so far possibly Imogen.

Imogen and Lucy v. nice together! The shortenings that Fra suggested also good, as is Imo and Mo too.

How exciting. Let's get dh on here to explain himself when he's feeling decisive

know a Lucy and her sister Mary and they are both gorgeous!

Oh bugger, bollocks and arse

I have been pondering Imogen and I think it sounds a bit dodgy with our surname which ends in "man". It's a bit rhymey [sulk]
