Hello everyone,
My name is [name_f]Ellen[/name_f] and I’m in a bit of a predicament. I’ve recently found out I’m expecting another baby girl, and I’m struggling to come up with names for her that would go with those of my other two daughters.
We want names that sound respectable and formal when used fully, but also have both ‘boyish’ and ‘girlish’ nickname options that the girls can choose from when they’re older, depending on what they prefer.
Our oldest is [name_f]Francesca[/name_f] (with nicknames of [name_u]Frankie[/name_u]/Cessie) and her younger sister is [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] ([name_u]Charlie[/name_u]/[name_f]Lottie[/name_f]).
We like the name [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] and were initially planning on using it - until my sister-in-law gave birth to a [name_m]Matthew[/name_m] last month! [name_f]Danielle[/name_f] is also out due to the girls having a cousin [name_m]Daniel[/name_m], but other than that there are no ‘forbidden’ names, so to speak. [name_m]Just[/name_m] as long as it’s got the nickname options, sounds good with our eldst two and isn’t horrendously misspelt, we’ll consider anything.
Any suggestions on advice on a name that would suit our third little one would be much appreciated.
[name_f]Ellen[/name_f].
