Two girls names, which is better?

We don't know if we're having a boy or girl yet but we have already chosen the boy's name and we thought we were all set for the girl's until both our families said they hated the name, Bedelia Teddye. My mother-in-law refuses to call her Bedelia (or Bea) and wants to call her either Delia or Dilly.

Our second choice is: Piper Teddye.

We have to use Teddye as the middle name as it was my Grandmother's name and she was very important to me.

So which is better:

Bedelia Teddye (Bee for short)

or

Piper Teddye

Yay for Bedelia! ;) So happy you decided to stick with the name you love.

FWIW, I prefer the Bea spelling simply because it looks more like a name/nn and less like the actual word "bee," KWIM? It makes perfect sense for BEdeliA, and I'm sure most are familiar enough for the pronunciation to be easily understood.

I like Bedelia...it's a lot less common and more whimsical without being awkward or hard to live with. (And I love that you're honoring your grandmother with her middle name!)
