Warning, this will be long!
[name_f]My[/name_f] husband and I have a super complicated and long list thanks to our other post! What are your thoughts on our good to go names/which is your favorite? And do you have any ideas to complete our other names? Our last name is [name_u]West[/name_u] [name_u]Brook[/name_u] (without the space and an E at the end, just don’t want it to be googled) and we’re set on using one of these as a middle name, since they are after important family members: [name_f]Diane[/name_f], [name_u]Jean[/name_u], [name_f]Margaret[/name_f], [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] (None of these names can be used as a first name or changed in any way)
These are names that are set and good to go (no changes can be made to this list at all-including nicknames, sorry if you don’t like them):
[name_f]Stella[/name_f] (just [name_f]Stella[/name_f], no nickname or full name)
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] “[name_f]Evie[/name_f]”
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] “[name_f]Tilly[/name_f]”
[name_f]Susanna[/name_f]/[name_f]Suzanna[/name_f] “[name_f]Zanna[/name_f]”
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] (just [name_f]Hazel[/name_f], no nickname or full name)
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] “[name_f]Delia[/name_f]”
[name_f]Rosamond[/name_f]/[name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] “[name_f]Rosie[/name_f]”
These are names that we are partially there:
Nicknames we like (a full name is required, will not consider any of these as a full name and will not change our minds):
[name_f]Bea[/name_f]- [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] would be the only choice for us at this point, I’m only “meh” on it but I can’t stand [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] and [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] isn’t a good idea
[name_f]Ada[/name_f]- [name_m]Don[/name_m]'t like [name_f]Adeline[/name_f], [name_f]Adelina[/name_f], or [name_f]Adalyn[/name_f]. Soft spot for [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] but worry about “[name_f]Maddie[/name_f]” rather than [name_f]Ada[/name_f] and they are really different in sounds which makes me worry
[name_f]Thea[/name_f]- I like [name_f]Althea[/name_f] but husband doesn’t. We don’t like [name_f]Dorothea[/name_f] or [name_f]Theodora[/name_f]
[name_f]Dottie[/name_f]- [name_m]Don[/name_m]'t like [name_f]Dorothea[/name_f] or [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] (probably eliminating this)
[name_f]Lola[/name_f]- Kind of considering [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] for the full name but we don’t love them together as a full name/nickname pair
[name_f]Emmy[/name_f]- Probably eliminating as well; pretty much every “[name_f]Em[/name_f]” name is boring to me and my husband hates [name_f]Clementine[/name_f]
[name_f]Milly[/name_f]/[name_f]Millie[/name_f]- [name_f]Camille[/name_f], [name_f]Camilla[/name_f], [name_f]Millicent[/name_f], and [name_f]Mildred[/name_f] are too stuffy for me and we can’t use [name_f]Amelia[/name_f]/[name_f]Emilia[/name_f]/[name_f]Amelie[/name_f] and don’t like it as a nickname for [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] (probably eliminating as well)
Full names we like (a nickname is required for us to use one of these):
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f]- I like [name_f]Poppy[/name_f] but husband doesn’t; we don’t like [name_u]Penny[/name_u], [name_f]Nell[/name_f], or [name_f]Nellie[/name_f] and don’t loving the idea of [name_f]Lola[/name_f] with it
[name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f]/[name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f]- 99.9% positive we are eliminating it. [name_m]Don[/name_m]'t like [name_f]Gwen[/name_f], [name_f]Gwennie[/name_f], [name_f]Dolly[/name_f]; I like [name_f]Winnie[/name_f] but my husband doesn’t with our last name.
Names we are still so-so on (but leaning towards a no):
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] “[name_f]Immy[/name_f]”- A good option but it still has to grow on us
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]- We prefer [name_f]Lottie[/name_f] as a nickname, though we don’t love it. We don’t like [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] at all (don’t like boy names or unisex names for girls) and don’t like [name_f]Lola[/name_f] paired with it as a full name/nickname pair
[name_f]Elsa[/name_f]- We’re hot and cold with this name; we’d use [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] as a nickname
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f]- Same with [name_f]Elsa[/name_f]; don’t like [name_f]Flick[/name_f] or Lissy as a nickname and can’t think of anything else
Thank you! (and sorry for so many words!)
