Shortlist - baby girl

So far our shortlist for girls is

[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]
[name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f]
[name_f]Lily[/name_f]

Middle names I’m going to try to get some of the ‘vetoed’ names in. So

[name_f]Adeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Cecily[/name_f]
[name_f]Agnes[/name_f]
[name_f]Forsythia[/name_f]
Zali

Which names would you pick?

[name_f]Daphne[/name_f] [name_f]Cecily[/name_f] or [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] would be gorgeous!

Such pretty names, but I have to go with [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Agnes[/name_f].
I love both names so much and [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] also has lovely nicknames so even if people shorten it, it will still be beautiful.

Hi there.

I like these all!

Lily-This is my favorite. It’s just so cheerful yet not too bubbly. It has a polished classic feeling while being very sweet & kind. I love love love [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Adeline[/name_f].

Elizabeth-This may be my second favorite from the list. It’s very calm & kind, but also feels classic & has strong feminine energy. I mainly love it for all of the nns. So many cute ones like [name_f]Ellie[/name_f], [name_f]Elsie[/name_f], [name_f]Eliza[/name_f], [name_f]Bess[/name_f], [name_f]Bette[/name_f], [name_f]Tess[/name_f]. I like [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] again for the mn spot.

Alice-This gives me a similar vibe to [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], but it’s a tad less popular. I don’t care for [name_u]Allie[/name_u]. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you? I suppose it’s unavoidable. I’m not sure that [name_f]Alice[/name_f] flows perfectly w/any of your mns, but [name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Forsythia[/name_f] is probably the best.

Daphne-[name_m]Even[/name_m] on the bottom of my rankings, it’s still a lovely name. Sweet but not too sweet. It still feels strong & a tiny bit exotic. Definitely the least popular of the bunch, which I feel like is a plus. [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] [name_f]Forsythia[/name_f] is pretty cool.

Hope this helps. :slight_smile:

Of your first names, [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] is the only one not in the Top 100, and I feel like it is in that perfect sweet spot of familiar, but uncommon. I would just love to see [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] get more use! It is so charming and underrated, and I can’t help voting for it. :blush:

Unfortunately, I don’t think [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] really flows the best with any of the middle names you have listed, except maybe [name_f]Adeline[/name_f]. [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] would probably be my pick! (Though I do think [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] works beautifully, if your open to using two from your fn list.)

I love all the names on your shortlist!

My favorites first names are [name_f]Alice[/name_f] and [name_f]Daphne[/name_f]. What I like about [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] is that you could use [name_f]Lily[/name_f] as a nickname and get two of your favorite names that way.

Combos suggestions:

Elizabeth [name_f]Agnes[/name_f]
[name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Adeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Cecily[/name_f]
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f] Zali

Thank you for your replies! All so helpful.

I love the idea of [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] getting [name_f]Lily[/name_f] as a nickname. I also don’t like [name_f]Liz[/name_f], which is the major downside of this name.

I am not a fan of [name_f]Ally[/name_f] for [name_f]Alice[/name_f]. I didn’t think it needed a nickname, but I could be wrong.

Daphne is a family name and not as common as the others. So that’s two bonus points.

I’ve always loved [name_f]Lily[/name_f], but it has become so popular. Another reason to go with [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] and have this as a nickname instead.

(I’ll update what we go with once baby is born. Though we aren’t finding out sex - so could be a boy!)

Elizabeth [name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Adeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Adeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Cecily[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f]

Seconding [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] [name_f]Cecily[/name_f]!
