or any other suggestions in same vein? due in 12wks, and have been stuck right from the start

[MrsMattie]

I like Anna best of these. Imogen is quite nice. Tess is sweet. Not keen on the others.

[2point4kids]

Like Tess, Naomi, Charlotte and Imogen

[ButterflyMcQueen]

i know a couple of delightful tess's

i like Paula cos i had a lovely friend

[MrsBadger]

Naomi, Anna, Lara were all on our list

consider also Rachel, Laura, Ruth, Judith, Emma, Helen?

[cyteen]

I like: tess, naomi, charlotte, anna

Don't like: carla, paula, lara, imogen

Also like: Laura, Katarina, Marianne, Eve, Emily, Rosalind

[barbiehouse]

feeling quite smug as dh's favourites seem less popular than mine so far! I like Rosalind, or at least Rosie, but DH not keen. also like emma and laura, but have close friends with dc with those names, so probably ruling those out.

[collision]

I love Imogen and Tess.

DO NOT like Paula or Carla or Naomi.

Lara is ok.

Cant fall out with Anna or Charlotte.

[Hassled]

Anna, Tess, Imogen and Charlotte are my favourites.

Paula makes me think of Paula Abdul.

[NotABanana]

Like Anna, none of the others. Your baby though, your choice.

Good luck.

[nailpolish]

But I always suggest looking at the List of Most Popular Girls' Names for the last 5 years if you don't want your DD to be one of 3 Charlottes or watevers in her class.

[theowlwhowasafraidofthedark]

love charlotte & anna
I'm sure you'll choose the best name for your dd!

[Beauregard]

I like Imogen and Tess the most.

[belgo]

love all these names:
tess
naomi
lara
charlotte
imogen

The others are fine as well.

I would probably choose Tess.

[sweetkitty]

I would probably go for Charlotte

also like Carla, Naomi and Imogen,

I'm due a girl in 10 weeks and she is going to be Bethany (we have a bugger of a surname)

[theangelshavethephonebox]

I love Rosalind/Rosie, try to convince your DH! Otherwise Anna is lovely too.

[sweetkitty]

DD1 is adamant this one is called Rosie but our surname is one syllabel beginning with a R.

[barbiehouse]

I suppose with imogen I'm not sure that i like how it sounds - but i think that you always assume that imogens are beautiful children IYSWIM.

[barbiehouse]

Dh has only liked Carla, since all the photos of Carla Bruni were in the news. I just think of that girl who got married on BRMB radio station all those years ago

[barbiehouse]

sweet kitty - i love names where the first and second names start with the same sound - not much choice with our surname.

[barbiehouse]

Laundry fairy -thanks for that link - we'll go through it tonight when dh gets home

[sweetkitty]

Rosie really doesn't go with our surname though.

[barbiehouse]

that is really annoying isn't it - i've had to strike quite a few off the list because of our surname, and there are some which i should but can't bear to. I keep thinking that i'll save those names for a future dog/cat/hamster!
