Cordelia
Clementine
Juno
Beatrix
Tabitha
Penelope

TIA

I quite like all of them apart from Penelope, which is dreadful to my ear. Hmm, in order I'd go for:

Cordelia
Tabitha
Clementine
Beatrix
Juno

Penelope

I like Penelope, Beatrix and Cordelia.

For me, Clemetine is pretty but just too 'orange'....and Juno is pretentious.

Like cordelia and tabitha

I like all of them. <helpful>

Why did my <<helpful>> not work?

Wtf???

Beatrix is my fave nn Bea

Cordelia - love - seriously considered for DD but was put off by lack of obvious nickname - maybe Cora/Cori?
Clementine - lovely - could be Clem or Minty
Juno - but faddy for me, makes me think of the tim
Beatrix - good but prefer Beatrice myself
Tabitha - not so keen
Penelope - love

bit faddy

oh no.

makes me think of the film

I'm off to bed

Love Tabitha, like Juno, the rest re nice but a bit girly/frilly for my taste (although I would also put Tabitha into that category, so my tastes are a bit inconsistent, sorry!)

Penelope- Love, how cute would a wee Penny running about be?
Cordelia- Love, especially if you shorten to Cora....or Delia, but she may have people asking her how to boil eggs.
Tabitha- Really don't like. Makes me think of cats in clothes.
Beatrix- Meh. Just meh.
Juno- Oh No. She would go through life with people going, "oh, LIKE THE FILM?"

Love them all.
Great choices!

Thanks for the comments so far.....yeah it is quite difficult to choose!

Love all of them except for Tabitha

Like Tabitha and Beatrix and quite like Juno. Dont like the rest.

I like them all except Juno
and Tabitha which is a name for a tabby cat, not a child.

Would go for Beatrice though as Beatrix makes.me think "Beer Tricks"

Juno is queen of the Roman Gods and married to her brother.

Generally, there is a dodgy aspect to all Greek and Roman Gods.

They are probably best avoided.

Love them all, especially Cordelia, Beatrix and Clementine. Juno is my least favourite.

@ startail

Cordelia, Beatrix and Penelope ane good.

Juno is a film, Tabitha is a cat or a toddler witch and Clementine is a small orange.

Love most of them but hate Clementine, can't stand it, and Cordelia isn't a favourite.

The rest are all on my list, in this order:
Beatrix (nn Trixie), Penelope (nn Nell), Juno, Tabitha (Tabs/Kitty (but that one is cos I'm odd))

I like the Greek and Roman god's names (mainly, could probably leave Uranus), gives them a head start on family weirdness

Cordelia & Beatrix/ce are my joint favourites. Clementine is pretty but I would go for Clemence/Clemency/Clementia for orange-related reasons. Wouldn't use Tabitha (cat), Penelope (don't like Penny) or Juno (sounds like a boy, which I know is totally irrational because it clearly isn't, I think it reminds me of Bruno, Inigo, Pluto etc.)
