Belle (is okay as a middle name)

Tabitha - favourite, but I'm biased!
Jemima - my other favourite
Sophia - pretty but overdone
Orla - a bit dull - will merge into a sea of Eva/Ella/Ada/etc
Belle - pretty but not a bit weak
Marina - very nice! My second favourite
Savanna - dislike, I knew a horrible savanna. Susannah is nicer
Carmella - don't like
Jasmine - don't like
Heidi - don't like
Clementine - my joint second favourite.

Tabitha Clementine or Jemima Clementine would be my number one choices

Heidi or Carmella are my favourites.

I wouldn’t use Belle or Sophia as they are hugely popular already.

Jasmine Orla and Savanna are my least favourites.

Tabitha - very pretty
Jemima - I’m so so on this name
Sophia - nice but very popular if that bothers you
Orla - really don’t like
Belle - I prefer Isabelle
Marina - nice
Savanna - nice enough, I prefer it with a h at the end
Carmella - not a big fan, I quite like Carmen but this just has a Carmelita Spats feel about it
Jasmine - nice name
Heidi - I’m not keen on this but no idea why
Clementine - nice

From your list I think I could only use Sophia, Orla or Jasmine.

Tabitha - makes me think of cats
Jemima - makes me think of puddleducks
Belle - it means beautiful, which is a nice meaning, but it just makes me feel like I'm saying "hello beautiful" to the child
Marina - nice if you live by the sea or if the father is a sailor
Savanna - nice enough, it's ok
Carmella - I work with one who I don't get on with so that makes me dislike the name
Heidi - nice if you're going to live on a Swiss mountainside with hair in plaits
Clementine - tasty christmas fruit

(sorry)

Savanna - actively dislike
Carmella - actively dislike
Jasmine - I like it, very pretty
Heidi - I like it
Clementine - needs a short surname

I like Orla and Carmella. Would Carmella get shortened? Mella? Mel? Caz, even?

I want to see a thread where you have to 'roast' a baby name that's suggested!
