I am due in one month with my second daughter. My husband and I can’t decide on a name that goes with our daughter Willa. We would like to keep it to a vintage name if possible. Our ideas so far: Nora, Penny, Wren, Hattie, Hallie and Margot. What are your favourites? Or do you have any other ideas?
[name_f]Hallie[/name_f] is one of my all time favorites so a vote for it. But my ultimate vote would be for [name_u]Wren[/name_u], [name_f]Willa[/name_f] and [name_u]Wren[/name_u], swoon!
Great list! I really like [name_f]Hallie[/name_f], [name_f]Nora[/name_f] and [name_f]Margot[/name_f]!
Other ideas:
[name_f]Addie[/name_f]

i love willa! 
margot and nora are lovely, i’ll suggest ada, ottilie, mabel, bea, edith, june, flora, and maisie.
hope this helps 
[name_f]Hallie[/name_f] is my absolute favourite name. [name_f]Willa[/name_f] and [name_f]Margot[/name_f] are also on my shortlist. All your names are lovely but [name_f]Hallie[/name_f] fits so well with [name_f]Willa[/name_f] imo. Short, nicknamey names (that are established as standalone) which feel sort of tomboyish whilst still feminine and vintage. Here are my thoughts on the other names you mentioned:
[name_f]Nora[/name_f]: I like this one. It has always reminded me of snorer but I don’t mind it nonetheless.
[name_u]Penny[/name_u]: nice but feels like it has to be short for something longer (Penelope?), [name_f]Willa[/name_f] has a nickname feel but is also established as a standalone name. I’m saying this I do know several just Penny’s so I think you can totally get away with [name_u]Penny[/name_u] as a standalone name it’s just that I would assume it’s short for something.
[name_u]Wren[/name_u]: I don’t like this, feels trendy and I just don’t like the sound. It does fit very well with [name_f]Willa[/name_f] though. Are you planning on having more children? If so would you repeat the ‘W’ initial again? On nameberry it’s often said that if you stick to a theme for two kids you can break it in the third but if you have three or more you can’t break it in the next. Not a deal breaker, just something to keep in mind.
[name_f]Hattie[/name_f]: this is even more of a nickname than [name_u]Penny[/name_u]. I would definitely assume it’s sort for [name_f]Harriet[/name_f]. I would either use [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] nn [name_f]Hattie[/name_f] (which goes excellent with Willa) or just opt for [name_f]Hallie[/name_f]. [name_f]Hallie[/name_f] is also a nn of [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] btw.
[name_f]Margot[/name_f]: love this name, fits very well with [name_f]Willa[/name_f], is becoming more common though.
Overall I would choose [name_f]Hallie[/name_f], such a beautiful name which matches perfectly with [name_f]Willa[/name_f].
I love the name [name_f]Willa[/name_f]!
I think [name_f]Iris[/name_f], [name_u]Sloane[/name_u], [name_f]Maeve[/name_f], [name_f]Maren[/name_f], [name_f]Olive[/name_f], [name_f]Freya[/name_f], [name_u]Juniper[/name_u], [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f], [name_f]Birdie[/name_f], [name_f]Mabel[/name_f], [name_f]Imogen[/name_f], [name_f]Ruth[/name_f], [name_f]Lottie[/name_f], and [name_f]Thea[/name_f] go quite nicely! [name_f]Nora[/name_f], [name_f]Margot[/name_f], and [name_f]Hallie[/name_f] are my favorites of your ideas, though I prefer the spelling [name_u]Halle[/name_u].
Of your list I like [name_f]Hallie[/name_f] & [name_f]Margot[/name_f] with [name_f]Willa[/name_f].

Penny is one of my all time favourite names and I think it works well with Willa, having a double letter in the middle. My second choice would be Margot, which I love but is super trendy right now. I personally find Willa and Hallie a bit too similar and a bit of a mouthful, but that’s probably just me 
I love Willa and Eudora or Willa and Flannery for the literary associations.
Willa and Nora are nice together.
Willa is to me a very strong though short name and it seems to blow out of the water names like Penny or Hallie with its sheer gravitas.
I like Willa and Freda or Willa and Freya.
Willa and Sarah.
Willa and Theda.

Margot is gorgeous with Willa! Hattie and Wren are lovely too. I’d also suggest Clementine, Ada, Olive, Clara, Thea, Maeve, Flora, Astrid, Freya, Primrose, Saskia, Frankie, Amelie, June, Matilda, Pearl & Iris.
I really like [name_f]Willa[/name_f] & [name_f]Nora[/name_f] 
Congratulations 
[name_f]Willa[/name_f] is a strong feminine girl name with a pretty vintage flair I think from your list [name_f]Nora[/name_f], [name_u]Penny[/name_u], [name_f]Hattie[/name_f] & [name_f]Margot[/name_f] all work wonderfully with [name_f]Willa[/name_f]. I think my favourite is [name_f]Nora[/name_f] for [name_f]Willa[/name_f]. [name_f]Nora[/name_f] feels stylistically similar to [name_f]Willa[/name_f] she’s a strong feminine choice with a vintage flair. I would almost be tempted to spell her like [name_f]Norah[/name_f] just so she has the same matching letters as [name_f]Willa[/name_f] it would be a nice way to tie the siblings together. Also I like the [name_f]Norah[/name_f] [name_m]Jones[/name_m] association. Normally I’d go with [name_f]Nora[/name_f] but would prefer [name_f]Norah[/name_f] for you guys!
Some other ideas could be [name_f]Cora[/name_f], [name_f]Ada[/name_f], [name_f]Flora[/name_f], [name_u]Hazel[/name_u], [name_f]Bridie[/name_f], [name_f]Pearl[/name_f], [name_u]Ruby[/name_u], [name_f]Anya[/name_f] and [name_f]Vera[/name_f].
Good luck
