Bit of fun name choice

[LaceyKeo]

So, we're having a girl.

At under 11 weeks we don't know that, but... It's a girl.

We have three names short-listed. Which order (favourite first) would you put them in? (And why, if you have particular reason).

Middle name will be May. That is certain.

The names we narrowed down to (in no particular order):

Lacey (the Lacey in my SN is not people-related).
Ellie
Temperance

Just curious to hear some others thoughts.

Funny how you just know it's a girl! When my cousin was pregnant she always said it was a boy! Her husband didn't want to know for sure before the baby was born and he was always laughing that she seemed to be so sure. In the end she really did have a boy! Now some may say that it was a coincidence, since it was a 50/50 chance, but i believe it was her maternal instincts! Would love to know how it turns out for you!

About the names - I'd choose them in the order you have taken them down.
Lacey is my favourite of the three - I think it's a gorgeous and original name! Ellie is really cute too - would you leave it Ellie or would it be short for another name like Eleanor or Elizabeth or something?
I'm not so keen on Temperance, it's a little too out there for me, but that's just my opinion.

I was convinced last time DS was a girl, to be fair, but there's more behind this.

Skull theory, bicarb test, old wives tales, and OH has only had girls.
If it turns out another boy, I'll be shocked.
Happy either way, of course.

Ellie would just be Ellie.
Lacey would just be Lacey.
Temperance would most likely be Tempi.

We have a bit of an "eee" sound... Thing... Lol

I would go-

1. Ellie (because it's really pretty and fits perfectly with May)
2. Temperance (Because it's unusual, and I like the character in the series Bones lol)
3. Lacey (Purely because it's my least favourite)

I know someone who has an Ellie-Mae and always loved it so that would be my choice (know your spellings different but I still like it!) x

Have a look down these threads , i think it might have been redbear that had a baby temperence a year or so ago?
I think that's that id choose as more unusual.

The 1st one for me is Temperance just lovely name! love it!
then goes Ellie but i do not like it much - too simple and too popular to my mind (i love long and gorgeous names
Lacey i do not like at all!
