Girls

Avery
Brogan
Elodie
Hadley

Scarlett
Tansy

I love Alys and Seraphina with Juliette (lovely name, great choice).

TempsPerdu · 19/10/2015 22:41

Alice
Merryn
Rowan (love this but it feels quite different in style to Juliette - ditto Merryn)

Annabelle probably 'goes' best but I'm not a big fan of this spelling - prefer Annabel.

Would definitely ditch Lola, Maya and Scarlett - not awful, just not in the same league as Juliette imo.

ExBallerina · 19/10/2015 22:34

I think Juliette and Elodie sound lovely.

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 19/10/2015 22:30

Out of the named that are still in. I don't care for any, to be honest but that's neither here nor there.
The nicest is Merryn.

Belazu84 · 19/10/2015 16:34

With Juliette I think Elodie Alice is the winner! Or Elodie Annabel.

Sophronia · 19/10/2015 14:38

I like Alice/Alys the best.

Ikeameatballs · 19/10/2015 14:28

I live Tansy, unusual yet not "out there" and very pretty.

celtictoast · 19/10/2015 14:25

Juliette is a lovely name Smile

I like Alys, Annabelle and Willow best from your new shortlist.

Ottilie and Willow are my favourites

Merrin but not merryn. No clue why!

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 12/03/2013 19:12

Merryn Alice - but I like Alice better.

Leeds2 · 12/03/2013 16:36

I like 1) Alice 2)Ottilie 3) Merryn.

Hadley and Brogan sound like boys' names to me, so I would rule those two out straightaway!

4 grr can't count!

DonkeysDontRideBicycles · 12/03/2013 15:07

Of those three you mention, if Alice is to be a middle name, then Merryn Alice if your surname doesn't begin with D.

birdofthenorth · 12/03/2013 15:00

Another vote for Merryn, it's gorgeous and the best by a long shot!

I quite like Willow and Tansy too.

My choices would be:

Elodie - but increasingly popular and could well be the next Amelie
Merryn - gorgeous
Ottilie - lovely, but dislike nn Tilly. (Would go for Orly/Otty etc)
Tansy - pretty and unusual
Willa - feels classier than Willow somehow, and has nice literary link to Willa Cather (like Willow for a mn, though).

Alice works quite well as a mn to all of these, I think. Not keen on Brogan (just doesn't sound nice to my ears), Avery (birdcage connotations) and Heather (I see a middle-aged woman).
