What are your thoughts on the following girls names please

Bethan

Madeline (mad-uh-line)
Raffaela nn Raffie
Olive
Elspeth nn Essie or Elsie
Flora nn Florrie
Rosalind nn Rosie

[Mum2jenny]

Like Bethan, Ruth and Rosalind

[Awwlookatmybabyspider]

Only like Bethan and Madeline.

[Remote1candles]

I like Madelaine and Rosalind, although I knew someone called Rosalind and she was always shortened to Rozzie, which put me off it a bit.

[FuckyDucky]

Raffaela. I know a Raphaela who is also shortened to Raphy, so cute.

[Doilooklikeatourist]

Love Ruth
Rosalind shortened to Roz
And Flora , which doesn’t need shortening

[greendale17]

Hate Ruth- belongs in the 90s

I like Flora

[Linnet]

Bethan, Ruth, Madeline and Elspeth

[TheGirlOnTheLanding]

Bethan and Elspeth, in that order. Both very soft names with nice shortened forms.

[manicinsomniac]

Bethan - like it. Much nicer than Beth or Bethany imo
Ruth - it's ok. Very unusual now.
Madeline (mad-uh-line) - really like it but prefer it said 'mad-e-linn'
Raffaela nn Raffie - would you say it 'haff-ay-ella' or 'raff-ee-ella'? I've only known the first (Brazilian name) and am not keen because it reminds me of heifer. The second is okay.
Olive - don't like this at all.
Elspeth nn Essie or Elsie - don't really like Elspeth but like both the nns
Flora nn Florrie - it's ok. Not convinced by Florrie
Rosalind nn Rosie - really like Rosie but prefer Rosanna, Rosalie, Rosaline and Rosemary to Rosalind.

[PelvicFloorClenchReminder]

Flora or Bethan

[MaryPoppinsStoleMyHandbag]

I like Bethan.

[SuperBeagle]

I love Madeline.

Like Elsie, but not Elspeth.

[SwinginFromTheChandelier]

Raffie makes me think of neighbours!

Madeline is commonly pronounced mad-eh-lin here.

Rosalin? Prefer Rosalie or Rosanna...

[ButterflyOfFreedom]

Bethan & Flora are my favourites.

[SwinginFromTheChandelier]

Raffie actually makes me think of Home and Away

[BrazzleDazzleDay]

I dislike them all, well madelines ok. Can I ask why you felt the need to pronunciate madeline?

[Sloppychops]

I like Bethan and Flora.

[C0untDucku1a]

I like bethan and elspeth.

[17caterpillars1mouse]

Brazzle - as I really like it Mad-uh-line but know alot of people would assume like Madelyn which I'm not as fond of but not overly fussed about correcting people of the pronunciation we use if we were to use it

[boomboom1234]

Olive and Bethan are my favourites. Lovely names.

[Jammycustard]

I have an Elspeth we call Effie.

Rosalind is nice.

[Frazzled2207]

Like Bethan, Flora and Rosalind (think
Rosa nn is nicer than Rosie)

I'm Welsh and the problem with Bethan however is that the English can't pronounce it the Welsh way which is so much nicer IMO

Welsh- Beth-an where the a is a proper a like in ant
English - Beth-un

[Elfyn]

I like Olive, Elspeth, Flora and Raffaela.

[Afreshcuppateaplease]

Dont like any sorry

[FeatheredTail]

Madeline is lovely, but much prefer the traditional Madeleine spelling and of course the Mad-uh-lin pronunciation.

Rosalind is beautiful.

Flora is nice.

I really really don't like Bethan or Ruth....or Olive or Elspeth.

Raffaela is so quintessentially Italian; if you're Italian, go for it, its gorgeous. If you're not, I wouldn't use it, it's too try hard.
