My favourite girl names -what do people think?

[htf2]

I have a few favourite girl names (due in June), interested in what others think? I won't be offended :) My top name is Audrey, probably Audrey Clothilde (Clothilde is my mum's middle name). Other top choices are Ida, Violet and Imogen. I like the nicknames Millie and Tillie (also Minnie) but can't think of any good names to go with them!

[OHolyShite]

Really love Audrey, Violet and Minnie.

Don't love Imogen, Ida, Millie or Tillie.

[VixxenPlusAllTheOtherReindeers]

I love imogen, violet and minnie.
Minnie needs a full name though.
Not keen on Audrey though (corrie).

[NickiFury]

Love Violet. Favourite girls name after dd.

Don't like any of the others, sorry.

[floatyflo]

Love Violet. Would have been my dds name but a family member got there first.

What about Matilda with Tillie for short?

[HollyBdenum]

I'm a real life Clothilde and I love it. I shorten it to Tilda.

[htf2]

I'm such an idiot - I didn't realise Clothilde could shorten to Tillie! Maybe I should save it for a first name as I like Clo also! (although given I don't even know this baby is a girl it might be planning a bit too far ahead to be definitely having 2 girls :P ) I could get away with it being unusual because it's a family name...

Just the usual caution that Minnie is common slang for a girls gentialia ( Black Country/ brum at least )

[manicinsomniac]

I really don't like Audrey. Don't like Clothilde as a first name but it's fine as a middle and I do quite like Tillie.

Not keen on Millie.

Ida and Violet are pretty.

I love Imogen.

[WowserBowser]

I love Audrey. Would be my choice if i had a dd.

[mondaymadness]

Audrey is very understated. Love it.

[vomistheworst]

I love Audrey and Ida.

[Sophronia]

I know a Minnia "Minnie"

[htf2]

thanks all. I actually hadn't expected so many positive responses :) theas good to know - as an Australian who moved to London this year I had to google black country!

[myotherusernameisbetter]

prefer Audra to Audrey, not that keen on any of the rest with Millie and Minnie at the bottom of the pile.

Tillie is not bad actually - short for Matilda? but then I think you'd be struggling to use Clothilde as a middle name as they are too similar.

Tasia or Tasie have a similar but (imo) nicer feel to the usual Millie, Minnie, mollie type names. Short for Anastasia.

[hoobypickypicky]

I adore Audrey. Violet is sweet too.

[myotherusernameisbetter]

Thinking that if you had Audrey Clothilde you would be totally Coronation street as you could shorten the middle name to Hilda? :o

[Alby16]

I think Imogen is beautiful, really beautiful. Quite a sophisticated name.

MIllie, Minnie, Tillie are nice but I dunno I just think the other names you picked are more classic. xx

[Titsalinabumsquash]

How do you pronounce Clothilde? I've never seen it as a name.

(Sorry to hijack!)

Fwiw, I love 'elderly lady' names as my DP calls them if this baby is a girl I want Iris or Ivy but he's vetoed both

[FrancisdeSales]

Love Audrey.

-illy names just to warn you DN is Polly and her best friends are Molly, Milly and Lily! (They are 8)

I find Imogen a bit lispy, Audrey is stronger.

[HollyBdenum]

Clothilde is pronounced Clo-TEELD.

[Guin1]

Love Audrey. Like Imogen. Neutral on the others.

[TheScenicRoute]

I like all of them with the exception of Ida which Im not so keen on. We also loved Minnie, but there's a good chance with her genes our girl would be tall, and I thought it would be unfortunate if she put a little too much weight on.

[pilates]

I only like Violet and Imogen
