Please help, we’ve got under 3 weeks to go before baby girl is here.
I thought we’d settled on a name but this morning DH tells me he’s not wanting that option any more and to be honest I’ve been a bit on the fence myself.
From our chat this morning we’ve come up with;
[name_u]Kora[/name_u] [name_f]May[/name_f] or [name_f]Cora[/name_f] [name_f]May[/name_f]
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]May[/name_f]
[name_f]May[/name_f] is my middle name that has been passed along generations so it’s locked in.
Our criteria is that the first name mustn’t be overly popular, classic and fairly short or be able to be shortened?
What other suggestions do you have?
I like [name_f]Cora[/name_f] [name_f]May[/name_f] - but [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] is sweet too 
I don’t think you could go wrong with either

[name_f]Libby[/name_f] [name_f]May[/name_f]

Wow, thank you ladies, some beautiful names there. Many are out due to being too close to a huge range of family and close friends we have.
[name_f]Flora[/name_f] [name_f]May[/name_f] and [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] [name_f]May[/name_f] are really lovely too.
After talking to husband tonight we’re leaning to [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]May[/name_f].
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]May[/name_f] gets my vote! Elegant and lovely
As for suggestions, maybe [name_f]Corinna[/name_f]?
I really like [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]May[/name_f] - it looks, feels and sounds wonderful and romantic! I used to like [name_f]Cora[/name_f] and still do but I tend to not stick stick with “ra” names as don’t like saying that sound…
As a name I prefer [name_f]Lydia[/name_f], but I think with middle name [name_f]May[/name_f] I actually prefer [name_f]Cora[/name_f]
I like [name_f]Cora[/name_f] [name_f]May[/name_f] the best, although [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]May[/name_f] is beautiful as well.
