hi, I've name changed because DS's name is quite unusual and I don't want people to work out who I am!

DS is Theodore and we've just found out we're expecting a DD

so, oh wise ladies of MN, what would you suggest for her please? My preference would be for a 3 syllable name that has the option to shorten for a nn

thanks all

Theodore isn't unusual anymore, there are three in DD(7) class alone

Annabelle (anna, annie, belle)
Jacqueline (jacs, Jac, Jacqui, Jackie)
Isobel (Izzy)
Susannah (susi, Suse Sue)
Eliza {liza, Ellie)
Imogen (Mimi, Imo, Immy)
Josephine (jo, Jo-Jo, Josie)
Caroline (carrie, Caro)
Katherine (Kathy, Kate, Kat, Kitty)
Madeline (Maddy)
Naomi
Georgiana (georgia)
Fiona (Fi, Fifi)
Harriet
Tabitha
Vivienne (vivi)
Genevieve (jen, Jenny, Vivi)
Abigail (abi, gail)
Jessica (Jess, jessie)

I'd steer clear of Eleanor if you have a Theodore- I always think the Roosevelts

CSWS - I know my audience very well and she'd better at least consider them if I've suggested them

how are you darling? have you got long to go?

CantSleepWontSleep · 23/04/2010 20:49

. I'm sure that I should know too dizzy. There's someone with a Theodore on the tip of my tongue!

Still 9.5 weeks to go for me my lovely. Seems so near and yet so far!
