I like all of them except for Hebe - in our family Hebe is grandparents' stone garden statue and isn't it the name of a plant too?

All the others are lovely! I would put Dulcie in a slightly different category of names to Clementine and Theodora though....

What do you mean by different category?

To me they both sound like names from a joke period drama. Sorry don't like either!

And yes Hebe is the Name of a plant and the Godess of youth in Greek mythology.

Individually they're nice names, but together it sounds a bit try hard. Sorry, OP.

What's wrong with them then? We certainly aren't 'try hard' people,we just like these names.

DP prefers Hebe,and I prefer Dulcie.

Frigg, I think the combination is just too much, but they could potentially work well with simpler middle names?

Rowlers · 06/08/2013 09:18

Well choose whichever names you like! We are all just random strangers, after all.

I like Hebe and Dulcie but combined with the middle names it's a bit much.

how about with a plainer/less unusual middle name...?

Agree it's trying too hard.

Hebe - only know one - not for me.

Dulcie - only know one - think this is ok actually.

Personally, I'd go for a shorter simpler middle name - to give her options when she's older. Clementine and theodora are both a bit of a mouthful.

I like both Hebe and Theodora. And I don't think the combination is too 'try hard' or something (although who knows, the MNers would probably faint if they heard my DC's names; so maybe I'm not the right person to reassure you! Grin)
I'm not keen at all on Dulcie; and Clementine is ok but a bit meh.
Really don't know what's so wrong with Hebe - I love Roman/ Greek gods/goddess names.

Smartiepants79 · 06/08/2013 09:25

Agree, like ALL of them on their own.
Think Hebe is the best.
It's the combinations that don't work for me.
Just too 'much'
