honest feedback on my girls names

[feebbzzz]

Hi ????

Im looking for some honest feedback on my list of girls names. We live in Glasgow, and find some names sound strange in the Scottish accent!

Our names are:

Daisy
Violet
Juliette
Penny

I like pretty but not too popular... Am also open to suggestions ????

[sweetpeame]

I like Daisy and Juliet (that spelling) best. Daisy is pretty popular I think. I only mention it because you said you didn't want popular. Violet is ok, not really a fan of Penny. Not sure what any of these would sound like in a Scottish accent!

[reuset]

Juliet, that spelling though, but is your choice.

[CarrotVan]

If you like Daisy you could use it as a nickname for Margaret (Daisy translates as Marguerite) which would be perfectly sensible in Scotland and gives her options for other nicknames growing up

[CherryBonBon]

Adore Violet.

Daisy and Juliette are pretty.

Dislike Penny.

[ThroughThickAndThin01]

I love Daisy and Juliette

Not keen on Violet, Penny is ok.

[pinktrufflechoc]

Not keen on Margaret - don't understand the non-Daisy love on here! Perfectly nice name! I prefer violet though.

[ralphlauren]

Daisy is the only one I like on your list. It's beautiful.

[SaulGood]

All fine, no obvious problems. Juliet spelling though.

Josephine?

[feebbzzz]

Ah should probably have said that middle name would most likely be Margaret as that is both our grandmothers names!

[CarrotVan]

I wouldn't go with Daisy Margaret. Of those in the OP Violet goes best with Margaret I think. Juliet(te) is too long and Penny too informal

[AlisonBlunderland]

With that weird juxtoposition of threads that MN is famous for.....

Folllowed by

Dordogne

now I'm thining that Dordogne would make a lovely girl's name

[TheWernethWife]

Love Violet and also Iris as well.

[CarrotVan]

Iris Margaret would be lovely

[TempsPerdu]

Really like Juliet, although I much prefer this spelling. Violet's quite nice too, but I prefer it as a middle name for some reason. Not keen on Daisy or Penny - both seem a bit twee to me.

[BeaufortBelle]

Not Daisy Margaret although Daisy is lively. I like Violet and Juliet very much. I like Penny too but would use the full name: Penelope.

[misscupcakes]

I like Violet and Juliette, but I think both followed by Margaret don't sound great because of the repeated 'ette' sound. Maybe something like Viola or Julia?

Daisy sounds like the name of a pet or a cow to me (sorry!).

Penny reminds me of 'spending a penny' .

[getbusyliving]

Violet and Penny /Penelope are on the rise so there is a chance they could become very popular. Daisy is already popular and I much prefer Julia to Juliet
All pretty names though imp

[peggyundercrackers]

Juliet looks like you have missed a space between Julie and t, spell it the correct way if your going to use it.

out all the names I like daisy and penny. no one will use your DDs middle name so I wouldn't worry about them going.

[feebbzzz]

Iris is gorgeous, its a name i hadnt even thought of!

Margaret isn't the final decision for middle name, just thought it would be a nice nod to both great grannies!

I agree with the 'et' sound being too similar, are there any suggestions on any middle names which would suit?

[Janeymoo50]

Love Violet, so feminine and really quite trendy now. Penny, not a fan (although love Penelope), Daisy - mmmm, bit overdone but nice name. Juliette, not really sure tbh. I think Violet Margaret is lovely, a real properly nice name for a little lady.

[feebbzzz]

i agree, Violet Margaret is lovely lets hope DP is on board... he really loves Ruby and Alice but im just not so sure...

[CarrotVan]

Alice Margaret is nice. Not convinced by Ruby Margaret

[Pigzoom]

Love Juliet !!

[HelsBels3000]

My friend has Juliette in mind for her baby - planning to shorten to Letty I believe. I like it.

[Coffeemarkone]

Penny sounds really dated but not in a revivable way if you what I mean.
Violet is only one letter off 'Violent'
Daisy - meh, a bit overdone.
Which leaves.....
Juliet.
Yes it is fine name.
