I am booked in for a c-section on Monday and we still haven't decided on a name for our baby girl!!

Here's our shortlist (ideally we want middle name as Isabel after MIL but it's not essential). Our surname is Westhead so it has to go well with that...

Mathilda Isabel Westhead
Alexandra Isabel
Evelyn Isabel
Audrey Isabel
Emilia Isabel
Elisabeth(Bettie)Rose Westhead
Mathilda (Tilly or Tilda) Rose
Alexandra Rose
Emilia Rose
Emilia Jane
Minnie Jane

Isabel = fab name (I have one), although I like Isobel better.

Evelyn is lovely.
Mathilda is nice.
Audrey - I love Audrey Hepburn but can't decide if that is enough to lift the name out of potential dowdiness: can't decide if I really love it, or not.

Am less keen on the others.

I like Elisabeth Rose best - it is classic and flows together.
I really don't think the Rose West thing is an issue at all, it's the middle name and part of your surname so not the same thing at all. And Rose is so popular people don't immediately think of her in the way that Myra immediately makes you think of a murderer.

I like the spelling of Elisabeth with an 's' as it makes the name a little softer. I know someone who did this because they didn't want their dd to end up always being called Liz, and it worked!

Evelyn

Thank you - we went for Evelyn (Evie for short) Isabel Westhead in the end. Our lovely midwife was called Evelyn and this finally clinched it for us! XX
