I like Constance and Harriet. Jemima makes me think puddleduck and Tabitha makes me think of a cat so not keen on those 2. I have no real opinion on Beatrice or Felicity - they are nice enough but not my taste. Don't like the look of the name Beatrix but I'm not sure why so that's not very helpful sorry!

I like all but Tabitha which is a bit catty for me. Can I suggest Talitha?

Love Constance

I know 1 Beatrice, 2 Beatrix's, 1 Felicity, 1 Jemima and 1 Harriet. All 1 or under

I adore Constance, it's beautiful.

Harriet, Felicity and Beatrice are all nice. Prefer Beatrice to Beatrix.

Jemima, while a sweet name, will always be Puddleduck to me.

I used to have a wonderful cat called Tabitha and I just can't see it as a name for a person though I know it is. It just says much loved tabby cat to me.

Not keen on Jemima or Tabitha, like the others (but Beatrice, not Beatrix). Constance and Felicity are my favourites, and I would hazard that Constance is the rarest of all of them.

Love them all, however I do think of Jemima Puddleduck and we once had a cat called Tabitha.

My DS was going to be a Harriet, had he been a girl.

Also love Verity Smile

I love all of these.
Prefer Beatrice to Beatrix. Actually, I'm not keen on the -ix ending in general - it makes me think of dominatrix!

If I had to choose, I think my favourite from your list is Constance.

I know a Connie (Constance) actually I know two, both in their 20s.

I don't like Tabitha, def too catty for me. Can you say the siblings names??

Constance and Felicity are the two that shine out for me, both so lovely.

My least favourites are Jemima and Tabitha.

Love Harriet and Felicity. Both timeless and classy.

Jemima is ok.

Not keen on Tabitha.

I've always had an irrational dislike for Beatrice, however I don't mind Beatrix.

Hate Constance, seems quite old fashioned to me.

Love Harriet, Jemima and Tabitha.
Do like Connie.
Dislike Felicity.
Beatrix is nicer than Beatrice, as I like Trixie for a nick name.
