Annabel. Met a cute little 3 year old on holiday called that. Although I prefer Annabelle.

Love Eliza and Eloise the most.. probably wouldn't go for Ottilie but go for what you love yourself!

Nice shortlist. I like Annabel best (spelt that way), than Matilda, the Ottilie, the Elodie. Not keen on Jemima or Eloise. Indifferent to Eliza.

Jemima. Beautiful, timeless and very under used (or is it underused? My brain is shocking these days) Blush

Lebkuchenlover · 26/05/2013 21:32

Love Jemima and Ottilie!

Beamur · 26/05/2013 21:33

Eliza or Elodie
(But all your choices are nice)

Annabel but then I have one so am biased.

Also like Jemima.

Ottilie. Thats an odd one. Sounds like a place name.

Eliza and Jemima - they are all nice but Annabel works better as a middle name whereas none of the others do

Love Eliza and Matilda.

I could never use Jemima because of the Aunt Jemima associations, but I imagine people in the UK generally don't have these associations.

Happymum22 · 26/05/2013 22:02

Eliza - Don't like
Matilda - Love, popular at the moment if that bothers you
Eloise - OK
Annabel - OK
Jemima - Quite like, knew a Jemima at school and she was a huge teachers pet/goody goody from a very strict family (which puts me off it!!) but without that association, I do like it a lot.
Elodie - Quite like, bit different in a good way
Ottilie - OK

Eliza or Eloise

Whatalotofpiffle · 26/05/2013 22:13

Matilda

GW297 · 26/05/2013 22:32

All nice but especially Eloise and Elodie.

orderinformation · 27/05/2013 03:51

All lovely. Matilda my least favourite.

Love Annabel. Was on my shortlist but had a boy.

I know a young Eloise. Is lovely.

HazleNutt · 28/05/2013 10:20

Eloise or Elodie

Cheerymum · 28/05/2013 10:22

All nice. Can't stop thinking Ottilie Bottilie but that's just me being childish. Annabel is my favourite x
