With my due date rapidly approaching I'm looking for your honest opinions on our name list. We are really finding it difficult to choose so please help us. We are hoping to choose both first name and middle name from this list.

Claudia
Eloise
Harriet
Hester
Elizabeth
Poppy
Tabitha
Tamsin

I agree about Tabitha sounding a bit cat like. I suppose I just needed people to confirm as I think my friends would be 'yes men' if I asked their opinions. So I think I'll take Tabitha off my list. Please also feel free to suggest any other names you think I may like.

I like them all except Poppy and Tabitha. Too cutesey.

I particularly like Hester. It's quite unusual, these days.

Claudia - a bit hard
Eloise - nice but prefer Louise/a
Harriet - OK
Hester - dislike
Elizabeth - OK
Poppy - like
Tabitha - dislike, too catty
Tamsin - quite nice

Love Harriet and Hester.

Like Claudia, don't like Eloise or Tamsin. Tabitha and Poppy are nice enough but very popular if that bothers you.

Forgot to mention Elizabeth - bit boring in my opinion. Some nice nick names from it though, I like Beth.

tara0202 · 10/10/2012 21:33

Love Claudia - sophisticated name in my opinion.

I like Eloise and Harriet.

Don't like Hester or Tamsin

Tabitha sounds a bit like a cats name to me.

Poppy too popular for my tastes.

You might have to wait till she is born and see which name suits her best?

I like Claudia best from your list.

Love:
Harriet
Poppy

Love but not brave enough to use:
Hester
Tabitha

Dislike:
Tamsin

I feel indifferent about Elizabeth. It feels like a.middle name to me.
