so as my dp is not very much help - i have been resorting to eb quite a lot lately - lots of people on here loved lola - another choice but dp and some people irl reall dont like it. i also like daisy and freya also still on my list.

what do you think of

delilah grace
and
penelope grace

grace is definately the middle name as its a family name
we have chosed rocco george for a boy!!

dp wonders why i dont like prdinay 'normal' names so he doesnt seem to suggest any just a 'no' to most of mine

thanks in advance

Penelope Grace is great!!

Delilah Grace.

I really dislike Penelope.

Rocco George is awesome by the way!

Penelope Grace - lovely

Penelope Grace As long as you are ok with the nickname Penny as chances are she will get that NN (which I like)

Delilah Grace

Penelope Grace is nms

+1, with nn Penny

I'm with you - I love Lola!

Followed by Freya and then Penelope.

Good luck deciding!

Penelope Grace!

Beautiful and underused.

Delilah has negative biblical connotations for me. But that may not bother you.

Still, Penelope is a beautiful, classical name.

Delilah Grace

I don't like Delilah much because of Sampson and Delilah (she was the conniving 'female dog' who deceived him into cutting his hair and losing his strength), and Penelope is a bit prissy for me... she was the woman in Greek mythology who waited a whole 20 years for her husband to return, all that time spent weaving a shroud (hmm, no Women's Lib in that equation)...

...but what about Lilah Grace? A little like Lola, a little like Delilah, and it has a lovely rhythm to it.

Delilah and Penelope are both nms but better than Lola. I really like Daisy and Freya.

Rocco George is fantastic!!

1. Delilah Grace

2. Freya Grace

3. Daisy Grace

4. Penelope Grace

All these are lovely. Lola wouldn't even make the bottom of my list.

lilah is far to popular for me as dd name is very unpopular - have never heard of another one irl or on the net - i like the name though

I'm not a fan of Penelope but I love Penny!

Penelope!

Definitely Delilah.

Definately Delilah Grace or Freya Grace.

Not so keen on Penelope Grace or Daisy Grace.

delilah grace
its so pretty

I adore Penelope. Not able to convince my DH of it, but if you can you go!

Delilah Grace is beautiful, when I was a teenager I wanted to change my name to Delilah

Delilah Grace

Followed by

Freya Grace
Penelope Grace
Daisy Grace

I'm going against the grain here to say I really dislike dellilah... Can't quite put my finger on it but it sounds a bit flimsy to me!

I like freya and Lola ( both on our list too)

Daisy has been overdone recently I think on it's way out....

Penelope is ok

I love Penelope - definitely my pick.

How about Grace as a fn? I really dislike Penelope and Delilah.

I like Penelope Grace.

Delilah, Tallulah, Lola and Lolita all belong to the temptress category of names to me. Not really sure why.

Definitely Penelope. It is my best friend's name, we have been friends since kindy, so I have lovely connections with the name. Usually she is called Penny, but that is cute I think.

Not really a fan of Delilah..

Penelope Grace without a doubt.

Freya Grace is even better.

I love Delilah at the moment. I actually posted it in a thread a few days ago.

I also love Freya.

Dare I mention Sadie as an option?

Penelope Grace

I think they're both beautiful

I love Penelope. And I don't think she was prissy. She was a strong, feisty clever woman.

I would use the nn Nell rather than Penny

And I know that Grace is a family name but Penelope Delilah is one to think about

Love Penelope Grace


Penelope in Greek mythology was/is known for the traits of loyalty and faithfulness.

I love both Delilah and Penelope.

another vote for penelope grace. i remember a book as a child about a girl named penelope, and a relative would pronounce it penny-lope as a joke. it works with grace too.

thannks theclampetts i also LOVE sadie its on the list too

Delilah is my absolute favourite girls name, though DH wouldn't budge on using it for DD1 or DD2, so pretty sure I've got no hope if this one's a girl. He also won't even consider Clementine.

It does have negative biblical connotations, but that doesn't bother me.
