Anyone want to help me whittle it down to three contenders? Due in 8 days and the list keeps getting longer!! Equally, if there are any on the list that are horrible, I'd appreciate a tip off!

Middle name is likely to be Elizabeth ...

Thanks!

Really not keen on Mina, Senga, Letty, Leila (looks like it is spelt wrong) or Vita (sounds like a margarine)

Like

Nina Elizabeth
Anna/Annie Elizabeth

Annie and Kate

Rose I love but it is very popular.

You don't have to decide before the baby is born. We decided on a name, and then spent the two weeks after our dd was born trying to find something else because she just wasn't as placid and calm as our chosen name felt.

Good luck!
