Hey! While I’m absolutely delighted to be expecting a girl, it means that my wife and I go through the hassle of liking absolutely different names again. While our daughter [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] changed her name herself when we adopted her, [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]'s name was a struggle.
Our criteria then, was fun & quirky yet still serious and professional. The only additions to it this time, are that there should be no b or p names and that nicknames are necessary.
My wife and I both love [name_f]Pippa[/name_f] but she loves [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] as a full name, whereas I am trying to convince her into liking [name_f]Philippa[/name_f]. [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] is too popular for my tastes. She absolutely loves [name_f]Margot[/name_f], which, for some unexplainable reason I have always hated, yet hates [name_f]Margaret[/name_f], which is one of my favourites. We both love [name_f]Sadie[/name_f], but we find [name_f]Soraya[/name_f], the only full form that appeals to us, to hard to pronounce for most white people/native-English speakers. She likes [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] which I find pretty cool but prefer [name_f]Viviana[/name_f] to.
So what do you think a sister to [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] ‘[name_f]Betty[/name_f]’ and [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] ‘[name_f]Lila[/name_f]’ should be called?
Any opinions or suggestions? [Our last name is [name_m]Black[/name_m]-burn, but without the hyphen.]
