Miranda seems to go well with your last name and your other children’s names. Can I suggest Andi for a nickname? More suggestions:

Serena
Wynona (Nona, Winnie)
Delaney (Laney)
Leona
Jacqueline (Jackie, Linn, Linny)
Evangeline (Angie, Eva, Evie, Lena)
Theodore (Thea, Teddy)

Like any?

Ooh, I love Andi as a nn for Miranda - thanks! And love most of your suggestions, however....Serena has been taken (good friend’s daughter), Leona is a friend of mine...like Winona or Wynona and Evangeline....I haven’t heard Theodore as a girl’s name...will have to give it some thought - thank you!

Oops! That was supposed to be Theodora! Please do not name your daughter Theodore :)

I love Josefina

Josefina nn Effie would be pretty! I’ve also heard Posey as a nn for Josephine, since you already like it for Penrose.

Josefina nn Joey

I love Delphine. I’d call her FiFi for short!

Adelaide and Camille are my favourite but I much prefer this spelling. I also like Delphine.
Penrose has always been a male name hasn’t it?

Adelaide & Coraline are my favorites.

Of the names listed in the poll, I like Penrose Hurd with Rosie as a nickname the best. I think Rosie Hurd sounds cute for a little girl and sounds nice when listed with the boys’ names.

A few suggestions: Cameron Hurd, Charlotte Hurd, Marissa Hurd, Gracie Hurd.

Good luck!

Thanks for the suggestions! I do also like Milena/Malina; Marlena/Marlina, Cameron/Kamryn and Mira. Posey as a nn for Josephine is cute!
And to answer one of the posters ,yes, Penrose has traditionally been a boy’s name, but I came across it the other day in an old photo (Penrose Station or something) and really am loving how strong and still feminine (to me at least!) it is given ’Rose’ in it.
