Help!!
Our baby girl is 10 days old and we can’t agree on a name that fits for her. Her older sisters are [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] and [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f].
I like the more off beat old lady names that’s aren’t so popular.
I like [name_f]Ethel[/name_f] and [name_f]Enid[/name_f] but my oh hates [name_f]Ethel[/name_f] (boooooo) does anyone have any new name suggestions or any nicknames for [name_f]Ethel[/name_f]?
I will be forever grateful x

Ethel could go by [name_f]Ellie[/name_f], but that’s rather close to [name_f]Elsie[/name_f]!
Sorry for repeats, as you’ve gotten great ideas so far! I feel like a vintage -ie name would really work nicely?

Not sure about Ethel nicknames, but if your partner dislikes it, I’d probably find an alternative that you both can love.
Based on Enid and Ethel, I’d suggest:
Agnes
Alma
Betty/Betsy
Bonnie
Dorothy
Eden
Edith
Fae/Faye
Flora
Frances
Harriet
Helen
Ida
Irene
Iris
Lois
Louise
Mabel

Best of luck and let us know
Elsie and [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] are great!
Ethel and [name_f]Enid[/name_f] are wonderful too. When I was little and watched “I [name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]”, I remember telling my mother solemnly that [name_f]Ethel[/name_f] was the most beautiful name in the world! Only I pronounced it Essel.
A cute nickname for [name_f]Ethel[/name_f] would be [name_f]Essie[/name_f] but that’s too close to [name_f]Elsie[/name_f]. I love [name_f]Edie[/name_f].
Maybe he doesn’t like two e names? I would be more likely to go with a different first inital than e or s myself b/c of your prior name choices.
