Thank you all so much for all this helpful feedback! You ladies are fabulous! Please keep them coming.
Feueriosa - We do seem to have very similar taste in names. Some of your suggestions were on my original (much longer) list.... and I just mentioned Carys to DH this very morning as a possible middle name as he loves names with a Celtic/Gaelic history (hence why he likes Eilish so much I think!)
sneakysparkle - Evangeline and Arabella are also on my original list (I was too hesitant to post the full list earlier as it is a bit long!). My concern is that Evangeline is getting too popular - though I guess that can be said for some of my other names too!
Nai - hmm, I really do like those nicknames for Genevieve also. argh... what to do, what to do?! And I like Imogen Annabelle, but I think that could be quite a mouthful???
Anyway, please keep the feedback coming... it's very helpful! And any middle name ideas would be great... particularly for Imogen which I am still favouring... i think!
My only other dilemma is that my DS has 2 middle names, so part of me thinks that my DD should also... however, I tend to like longer names for girls and it could be quite a mouthful.
WRT 2 middle names - DD#2 is Evangeline and she has 2 middle names
I think I like Imogen Anneliese better than Imogen Annabelle
Actually I think you could have something like Imogen Eilish Rose - that works quite nicely! Either way I think the second middle name should have one syllable HTH!
Imogen is nice, I have'nt heard many of them around.. I only know 1.
We really like Amelia but it is currently pretty hot well down here anyway, it is my auntys name and we like to use family names.
Annabelle go the longer spelling it looks prettier.
Eilish its too hard unless you change the spelling you will always be spelling it and no-one will know how to pronouce it.
I think you need 2 middle names if your DS has 2. There are plenty of pretty old fashioned short names that would go with what you have choosen, and how often do you use middle names? most people don't go around calling their children the whole name.
Goodluck !!! sounds like you are doing very well by yourself.
I love the name Eilish. I once taught a lovely girl with that name and have always liked it. Unfortunately DH doesn't like it so it will never be an option for us.
I LOVE the name imogen! Its definitely on my favourites list.
The only advice that I am going to give, is to remember that at school, it is annoying when teachers mispronounce, or when people have to constantly ask how to spell your name. I reccommend Imogen or Annabel.
Goodluck with your bundle of joy!
