We love Hazel and Elsie but need a lovely name with different first letter.

[Hangingbellyofbabylon]

dd1's name starts with 'E' - dd2's name starts with 'H'. We have a family middle name so if we chose either Hazel or Elsie for dd3 then 2 dd's would have exactly the same initials. Can you think of another pretty name like the above? Preferably something that won't be shortened, perhaps a bit old-fashioned. Thanks.

Beatrice
Imogen
Cecily

all a bit traditional, and can be shortened but wouldn't necessarily be

Caroline extremely underused imo

Maisie
Alice
Polly

Iris is lovely, as is Maisie

too many Maisies around here for some reason. Caroline is lovely , also Cecily but have a feeling dh would come up with the usual 'but I can't spell it' . Good suggestions, thanks.

April
Shona
Ellen
Isla

Ada

Primrose

Amelia

Felicity

Ivy
Polly
Sophie (though v popular in various forms)
Lucy (same)
Clara

Also love Iris

Susan
Alice
Lois
Joyce

Mmmmm, Lois is good too.

I knew a girl whose parents chose names that couldn't be shortened: she was Joy and her sister was Ruth.

Greta
Molly
Faye/Faith
Joan
Josie
Sadie

btw - brilliant screen name HBofB!

I know what you mean about the initials. We have an Elliot, and are quite keen on another E name for DC2, if it's a boy. DH doesn't think it's a problem, both he and his brother have G names, but I'm not convinced.

How about Laurel?

Elsie is lovely and Hazel nice too. I think all the names I was going to suggest have already been mentioned!
I love Cecily (have one myself), also Ivy, Violet, Iris, Florence, Beatrice, Audrey, Polly.

thank you, some great suggestions but still stuck on Hazel . I also quite like Lillian but best friends little girl is Lily and I think the names are too close.

Margaret
Rosamund

Hester
Miriam
Velda
Myrtle

Sorrel
Ruth
Celia
Cora

Lois - I was going to suggest this, seems in the same style as Hazel and Elsie and somebdoy has beaten me to it.

Joy
Mabel
Dulcie
Zelda
Margot

I like Myrtle, but in the US, it rhymes with Fertile, the way they say fertile. I think it's considered unusable there. I think it's very urban chic.

Also love Greta, Sadie, Susie and Polly as suggested by other posters.
