why not use Lilian or Vivian and call her by a nickname? Viv and lily are perfect.
Yup, that's what we'll do if we chose either of those names. We like the names and nicknames. They just don't seem like "the one." We had the "THAT'S IT!" feeling with DS's name. Haven't had that yet with a girl name.
"Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you've got a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies-"God damn it, you've got to be kind.”
This was my name list for DD2 (I deleted a few that were longer). Most of them are pretty short; our main thing is we didn't want a name that was too easily nicknamed because we wanted to call our girls by their given names (i.e. we didn't want to do "Jennifer" and have everyone else decide to shorten to "Jenny"). I put DD1's name in here since it's also on the short side.
