GIRLS names I'm considering

[DaaMamma]

What do you think about these names?
Be as stark/direct as you like: I'll know it's the one if the harsher comments don't bother me.

Alternatives welcome.
Prefer names that don't end in -a

The shortlist as it stands:

Kate
Natalia
Juliet
Genevieve
Miriam


Thanks

[educatingarti]

I like Miriam best. It is more unusual, but still a classic.

[pictish]

Out of those, Juliet I think.

Delphine
Abigail
Amber
Nancy
Eleanor

[JanuaryJuniper]

Genevieve is the only one I like the rest wouldn't be my cup of tea!

[DramaAlpaca]

I think you have a very nice list. I can't think of anything negative to say about any of them.

I think Miriam is my favourite.

[CatsBatsEars]

Love Genevieve

[DaaMamma]

Thanks all. I'm now thinking Naomi instead of Natalia but I don't think Naomi is the one.
But my forerunners today are Juliet and Miriam.

[WyfOfBathe]

I love Natalia and I like Kate (would you consider Katherine?). I really don't like Juliet, I think the association with Romeo & Juliet is just too strong.

[DaaMamma]

Thanks, I like Katherine but my husband doesn't. I have a ROSA already and that's the main reason I think I don't want another -a name but that's not set in stone.

[RebelRogue]

At least they're real names. And a few of those are really pretty. So whichever you like best. Also having a list might help when baby actually comes. You might look at her and one of those names will just jump at you.
Have you considered the nicknames that would come with those names?

[Sophronia]

Miriam is my favourite. Genevieve is nice too.

[geordiedench]

I like Juliet.
Genevieve is lovely. Never considered that before. It's pretty and elegant.

[DailyMailSucks]

Juliet and Miriam my favourites. Genevieve too posh for me! Kate nice but boring. Prefer Naomi to Natalia.

[DaaMamma]

I still have a few weeks to decide. Thank you for all your help so far.

[Waterfeature]

Kate -- bit boring and prefer the full name
Natalia -- too Russian
Juliet -- wet
Genevieve -- pretty and unusual
Miriam -- pretty
Naomi -- very plain, and "I moan" backwards!

Good luck!

[SuperBeagle]

Kate - My favourite. Still upset that there's already a Kate in my family as Kate would've been DD1's name otherwise. Gorgeous, glamorous, timeless etc.

Natalia - I like this in full, but fear it would get shortened to Nat, which is awful.

Juliet - Love this. I've heard Jet as a nickname, which is very cool.

Genevieve - Love this as well. Lots of nickname potential: Gen, Genna, Genny, Viv, Vivi, Evie, Eve etc.

Miriam - Don't like this. Sounds quite old and fuddy duddy to my ears.

Naomi - Love this. But all of the Naomis I've known have got "Nomes" as a nickname (pronounced gnomes), which is less nice.

[Eastwestbestrest]

Love Juliet and Genevieve.

Natalia is nice but I prefer Natalie.

Kate is a bit boring.

Hate Miriam - it has a smug, dull sound to it.

[Jooni]

Genevieve, Miriam and Juliet are my favourites, in that order. Lovely list!

[Sistafromanuthamista]

I love Juliet

I prefer Marianne to Miriam

[Gottabeaneasierway]

I like them all apart from Miriam which is very old-fashioned.

[smilingsarahb]

Kate, Nat, Jules, Gen and Mimi. Which of those do you prefer as that's what they will probably get called. I'm not a very useful name person as I like most names to be honest. If pushed I'd say Kate is a bit dull but I wouldn't actually think that if someone introduced a Kate to me.

[17caterpillars1mouse]

I really like Kate. I've not met a baby Kate

[DaaMamma]

Thanks everyone. Yes, I also like Marianne, Sistafromanuthamista

[Sugarpiehoneyeye]

Rosa and Juliet
Rosa and Miriam
Rosa and Marianne.

Rosa and Miriam is my favourite.

[CakeRattleandRoll]

Love Miriam.
Genevieve and Juliet are also beautiful.

Elspeth
Felicity
Josephine
Mary
Vivienne

[firawla]

Miriam is lovely
