Ok, 5 days to go and still no decision if DC2 is a girl!

Current list is:

Meredith
Imogen
Tessa (shortened to Tess)
Eliza
Rebecca
Phoebe

MN will be May. Any thoughts? If I'm honest, Tess is my favourite, Imogen is DH's favourite, and Meredith is the top 'compromise' name that we both like.

Rebecca. Would have called Erin it if it wasn't my name, so she has it as her MN.

Polly and Eliza are gorgeous together.

Meredith
Eliza
Imogen
Rebecca
Can't really go wrong with any of these. All beautiful names and underused (another positive) in my opinion.

Tessa -never been to keen on if i'm honest
Phoebe- nice name but agree with outnumberedbymyboys.

All the best with your decision

I adore Tess/Tessa, but personally wouldn't use it with May as a middle name. It reminds me of 'Tresemmé' the haircare range! (Might just be me though!)

Poohbearsmom · 06/06/2010 11:51

I like Tessa/Tess but love Eliza i dont like Merry May to be honest and wouldnt be gone on Imogen but do like Genie as a nn...
Have you picked a boys name? Do tell!

SqueezyB · 06/06/2010 12:15

Good to hear the MN jury (mostly) likes our names! I think I'm leaning towards Tess, Meredith and Eliza as my top 3 now, while DH is really smitten with Meredith. I can see your point about Merry May, but I guess she won't get called that much - if her MN is being used it would be with the full first name, and Meredith May isn't so bad. May is a family name so we're stuck with it!

Boy names are either Dylan James or Nathaniel James,depending on what suits him best! Due today so hopefully not long til we find out...

Love Eliza
Phoebe and Imogen are quite nice
Not keen at all on Tess, Meredith or Rebecca
Congrats on your soon to be new DD

Linnet · 06/06/2010 12:40

Meredith, Phoebe or Imogen

FionaSH · 06/06/2010 13:14

Rebecca May rolls off the tongue really well.
(I love the name Polly btw!)
Evie?
Ella?

FionaSH · 06/06/2010 13:15

Oooo Merry May - I think that's adorable!

SqueezyB · 21/06/2010 15:14

just an update - DD2 popped out 12 days late on Saturday, we both took one look at her and knew her name was Meredith! Loads of dark hair and big blue eyes, somehow she just looks like a Meredith. It's weird, despite being obsessed with the name Tess all pregnancy it didn't even enter my head.

She is Merry for short and it completely suits her, she's a very happy little thing!

Thanks MNers for helping make up my mind and providing a welcome distraction when i was overdue! xx

Meredith is a fabulous name and love the nn Merry!

eatyourveg · 22/06/2010 17:59

Imogen Eliza and Phoebe are all fab!

mamaloco · 22/06/2010 18:02

Eliza is lovely. Why don't you wait till she is born and choose then? You might find that a name suits her better. That's what I did with my DDs. especially DD1, the favorite was emilie but she didn't look like one...

mamaloco · 22/06/2010 18:04

sorry just look again, congratulation! I guess she loked like a meredith!
