I voted for [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f]: Classic, bright, literary, and definitely underused. It fits the length of your other daughter’s names, and has such wonderful nickname options. A close second was [name_f]Agnes[/name_f].

Your daughters have gorgeous names! I was torn between [name_f]Agnes[/name_f] and [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f]. I really love the nickname [name_f]Dot[/name_f].

[name_f]Ruth[/name_f] nn [name_f]Ruthie[/name_f] and [name_f]Frances[/name_f] nn [name_u]Frankie[/name_u] are by far my faves!

I love [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] & [name_f]Frances[/name_f] for you. Your girls have beautiful names!

So hard to choose. I voted for [name_f]Frances[/name_f] in the end because I love it with nn [name_u]Frankie[/name_u]. But I also love [name_f]Harriet[/name_f]. I also like all the others with your family except I just can’t warm to [name_f]Agnes[/name_f].

[name_f]Agnes[/name_f] and [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] were neck in neck for me. I voted for [name_f]Agnes[/name_f] but could just have easily voted [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f].

[name_f]Jane[/name_f] is my favorite with [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] and [name_f]Edith[/name_f], but closely followed by [name_f]Frances[/name_f] and [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f]. With the similar endings on [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] and [name_f]Ruth[/name_f], I’d eliminate those (although they are great names).

[name_f]Jane[/name_f] get my vote. Soft, regal [name_f]Jane[/name_f] goes spectacularly with [name_f]Margot[/name_f] and [name_f]Edie[/name_f].

I voted [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f]
Clear winner for me :slight_smile:

[name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] [name_f]Agnes[/name_f]
[name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f]
[name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] [name_f]Harriet[/name_f]

I voted for [name_f]Frances[/name_f] because it’s my favorite name from your list and I think it’s nice that the length is similar to your other girls’ names. I also really like [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] with [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] and [name_f]Edith[/name_f], though [name_f]Iris[/name_f] is technically my next favorite name from the list.

I find the -th ending of [name_f]Ruth[/name_f] and [name_f]Edith[/name_f] too similar, especially since -th is not a super common ending (unlike -y/-ee or -a). That logic would also eliminate [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] for sharing the -et ending with [name_f]Margaret[/name_f].

I voted for [name_f]Agnes[/name_f]. But I think [name_f]Ruth[/name_f] would be really cute as well, nn [name_f]Ruthie[/name_f].

[name_f]Jane[/name_f] with the nickname [name_f]Janie[/name_f] would be precious with [name_f]Margot[/name_f] and [name_f]Edie[/name_f]!

As much as I love [name_f]Agnes[/name_f], [name_f]Margot[/name_f], [name_f]Edith[/name_f], and [name_f]Agnes[/name_f] are the three sisters from Despicable Me. I probably wouldn’t use it for that reason. That being said, I love the idea of [name_f]Frances[/name_f] with nickname [name_u]Frankie[/name_u].
