Aw,
Herbert is darling. And I love the nn
Bertie! I'm not that sold on
Herbie, but I suppose it would be cute for a kid. I can't see it on an adult the same way that I see
Bertie.
Mary is definitely ripe for a comeback.
Iris and
Mary would be a heavenly duo. I know a woman who named her nn
Mary Eliza, which I find bright and breezy as combinations go.
Congratulations, good luck and be sure to keep us updated on your search for the perfect name!
