[name]Adelaide[/name] nn [name]Adele[/name], [name]Addie[/name]
[name]Beatrix[/name] nn [name]Bea[/name]
[name]Fionnuala[/name] nn Fi, [name]Nuala[/name], [name]Nellie[/name]
[name]Marigold[/name] nn [name]Maggie[/name], [name]Goldie[/name]
[name]Philippa[/name] nn [name]Pippa[/name]
Middle name will be [name]Joan[/name] McMurray Lastname
(McMurray is a second middle name, NOT the last name)
[name]Adelaide[/name] nn [name]Adele[/name], [name]Addie[/name] - [name]Adelaide[/name] is beautiful, but for me the [name]Addie[/name] nn has been tarnished by [name]Addison[/name]. [name]Adele[/name] is great, though!
[name]Beatrix[/name] nn [name]Bea[/name] - lovely, and fits well with your other children’s names.
[name]Fionnuala[/name] nn Fi, [name]Nuala[/name], [name]Nellie[/name] - a great choice, but I worry about pronounciation issues …
[name]Marigold[/name] nn [name]Maggie[/name], [name]Goldie[/name] - obviously I am biased, as the name of one of our twin daughters will be [name]Marigold[/name] nn [name]Maggie[/name], but I think that this is a beautiful, unsual, fresh choice, which goes wonderfully with your other children’s names.
[name]Philippa[/name] nn [name]Pippa[/name] - [name]Pippa[/name] is so sweet, but to me [name]Philippa[/name] looks a little plain alongside your other children’s names. At a stretch, you could try [name]Penelope[/name] nn [name]Pippa[/name].
Personally, I would go for [name]Adelaide[/name] nn [name]Adele[/name], [name]Beatrix[/name] or [name]Marigold[/name].
I love your list and think they all go so well with your other children’s names! The only one I don’t really care for is [name]Fionnuala[/name]; the sound just doesn’t appeal to me and I worry that it would be a potential spelling nightmare. As for your other picks:
[name]Adelaide[/name] nn [name]Adele[/name], [name]Addie[/name]- like; not a big fan of the nicknames, though
[name]Beatrix[/name] nn [name]Bea[/name]- love
[name]Marigold[/name] nn [name]Maggie[/name], [name]Goldie[/name]- really love, but much prefer [name]Maggie[/name] to [name]Goldie[/name]
[name]Philippa[/name] nn [name]Pippa[/name]- really love, and I’m crazy about the nn!
[name]Philippa[/name] [name]Joan[/name] McMurray Lastname and [name]Marigold[/name] [name]Joan[/name] McMurray Lastname sound amazing, but you really can’t go wrong with this list!
[name]Beatrix[/name], but I prefer the nickname [name]Trixie[/name]. I’d use [name]Beatrix[/name] myself if my husband liked it. Your kids’ names are great!
[name]Adelaide[/name] nn [name]Adele[/name], [name]Addie[/name]- I like [name]Adelaide[/name] a lot, but I’m not a fan of [name]Addie[/name]. You may also like [name]Adeline[/name].
[name]Beatrix[/name] nn [name]Bea[/name]- I love [name]Beatrix[/name] and the nn [name]Bea[/name]! There’s also the quirkier [name]Trixie[/name] as a nickname, but I prefer [name]Bea[/name].
[name]Fionnuala[/name] nn Fi, [name]Nuala[/name], [name]Nellie[/name]- I think it’s pretty, but I there may be pronunciation and spelling issues.
[name]Marigold[/name] nn [name]Maggie[/name], [name]Goldie[/name]- I like [name]Marigold[/name] a lot, too! I think the nicknames are so spunky and cheerful!
[name]Philippa[/name] nn [name]Pippa[/name]- Nice, but I honestly prefer the nickname. I would love to meet a little [name]Philippa[/name], though!
I would personally use [name]Beatrix[/name] or [name]Marigold[/name] from your list. [name]Marigold[/name] is a bit better in terms of length, though. [name]Both[/name] (actually, all the names) are great with [name]Joan[/name] McMurray, so I would use the one that went best with your last name. Good luck!
Great Names you chose for your little ones!!
As far as new baby is concerned, i love all of them except [name]Marigold[/name] (dont think it goes with the others…flower versus classic names)
I’d say in order of favourite…[name]Adelaide[/name], [name]Beatrix[/name] then [name]Philippa[/name] though pippa sounds great with [name]Sera[/name] and [name]Gemma[/name]…
And ACTUALLY reading your post again re MN and LN, [name]Adelaide[/name] would be my choice.
[name]Adelaide[/name] [name]Joan[/name] McMurray…sounds very classic and elegant
[name]Philippa[/name] [name]Joan[/name] (PJ!) and [name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Joan[/name] (BJ!) not keen on those initials…
