Juliette (though much prefer Juliet)
Lara
Emerald
Arabella
Autumn

Only really like Juliet and Lara tbh, although Autumn would be ok as a mn for an autumn baby. Lara Juliette and Juliette Autumn are cute.

Juliet, it is so evocative of beauty and romance (sorry if that sound BS/OTT)

But soft, what light through yonder window breaks?
It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.
Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,
Who is already sick and pale with grief
That thou, her maid, art far more fair than she.

Emerald - love
Autumn - love
Arabella - bit posh sounding imo
Julliete - ok
Lara - my exes new fling's name so ...

Astley · 26/03/2013 12:00

Oh I've just added it up, Arabella and Emerald are the ones knocked out

Astley · 26/03/2013 11:55

Which 2 have been knocked out?

I like Lara followed by Juliette. Not the other ones at all

I like Emerald and Autumn as long as you are slightly arty, they'd be odd names for a solicitor or a bankers child. Certainly could work if DH is French, French names sound pretty and arty to English ears.

I don't like Shakespeare (philistine, my DD1 and DH, tell me) and I just can't get past Romeo and Juliet.
I'm not mad on Arabella, but it could work with a French surname.

Lara is harsh and horrid, Lyra or Laura are much nicer.

Thank you everyone, at least that's quite clearly knocked 2 out of the water...I do like unusual but wouldn't want to name my child something the majority thought ghastly!! I may use one of those as a mn though.

It seems pretty close between Juliette or Lara...

I really like Juliette. I don't mind Lara. The others are not to my taste at all.

So my ranking would be:

Juliette
Lara

Autumn
Emerald
Arabella

georgettemagritte · 26/03/2013 02:43

Juliette (lovely - unusual and classic. Juliet was on my list for DD)
Lara (DH loves this and I like it but not in the premier league for me)
Autumn (but not sure I'd use it)
Arabella (not keen)
Emerald (not at all keen - reminds me of the awful Emerald in one of the Jeeves & Wooster books...)

aufaniae · 26/03/2013 01:35

Emerald
Lara
Juliette
Autumn (if born in Autumn)
Arabella

KittenOfDoom · 26/03/2013 01:32

1 Juliette
2 Arabella
3 Lara

then a biiiiiiiiig gap to Emerald and Autumn, both of which I dislike equally and greatly.
