Zoe - My all-time favorite name. "Z" is such a cool letter, and I adore Greek girls' names that end with "e". I also like that it has a great meaning ("life"), and manages to be both spunky and...

I'm much more a fan of Felicity, which is in my top 10, but as a twin sister for Vivienne, I think I actually prefer Philippa, because they both have double letters near the end. It's a subtle...

Thanks! We do have different styles, but your names are lovely, too, especially Vivian. Gotta love those V names!




Hehe, I had the same thought when I saw your list. Love your taste!

All your names are lovely, but I particularly like Serena, Fiona, and Violet!

My favorites:

Zoe - My favorite girls' name EVER. I'm devastated that DH has vetoed it. I love that it means "life"...

In Invisible Mode, whenever I post, there's just a blank spot where my username is supposed to be. It's fixed whenever I turn Invisible Mode off, but I prefer having it on. I just don't want to be...

1. Zoe
2. Catherine
3. Veronica
4. Penelope
5. Elizabeth
6. Daphne
7. Anastasia
8. Seraphina
9. Ophelia
10. Felicity

If I had to name them today, then maybe:

Catherine "Cate" Ottilia
Elizabeth "Beth" Cecile
Anastasia "Ana" Valentine

I like that the first names are all very classic and are nine letters...

With your sibset, I really like Sylvie Theodora and Louisa, but not with Betty. Louisa Blythe, however, would be gorgeous!

In my experience, it is the parents, grandparents, and closer family members who buy the more big ticket items. I would certainly never expect my friends to by something that expensive! Shower gifts...

1. Like others, I've never heard of a baby shower being given post-baby. I find the idea a little strange, but, eh, I guess it doesn't really matter.

2. My best friend had showers for all three of...

Thanks, everyone!

The comments leaned toward Otylia, but the poll gave a definite victory to Ottilia, so I forced Hubby (who says we can tentatively put it on the list - yay!) to choose from...

I thought we were settled with our top three middle name choices for Catherine, but I've recently become rather enamoured with a fourth name: Ottilie. (I appear to be attracted to O names paired with...

Thanks! I guess I really am overthinking the Resurrection Mary thing.

@krismichelle - I agree that Margaret would be absolutely perfect with Catherine and Elizabeth, but it's already my name! Too...

Stephanie was my first name love, and I still really like it. I don't find it dated at all, just less popular than it use to be.

1. Daphne
2. Gabriella
3. Madeline
4. Caitlin
5. Jasmine

Any thoughts at all?

Girls:
Margaret - My own name, and I use the nickname Meg as well!
Josephine - Josie is so cute!
And I can't really decide between Vera and Isla for number three. I like them both fairly equally....

Definitely not Neko or Neco.

If used as a nickname, whether I would spell it with a C or a K would depend on how I spelled the formal name.

Nicholas/Dominic - Nico
Nikolai/Dominik - Niko

What do you think of these middles for Maria? (Again, just for fun, but might be used in the future.)

Maria Calliope
Maria Christabel
Maria Chrysanthe
Maria Corisande
Maria Emmanuelle

Margaret Cynthia (1983)

I would have been... Evan Juan. Gah, that's just terrible!

I'm loving Gregory so much right now! I think it sounds very handsome and distinguished. My favorite nickname for it is Rory, but Grey is a good suggestion, too.

I think Zephyr Gregory makes more...

I do personaly prefer Arrietty over Harriet, but looking at the other names in your signature, Harriet seems to better fit your overall style. Plus, with Harriet, she can choose from several...

I agree that I wouldn't worry about Elizabeth's popularity if you're going to call her Betty. If she's in a class with other Elizabeths, chances are she'll be the only one that use Betty. That being...

I also love Margot Hermione Winslet! It's not too much name at all to me, but I tend to prefer long, multi-syllabic names.

Rankings:
1. Margot Hermione Winslet
2. Margot Celia Winslet
3. Margot...
