I love Matilda, Annabel and Jemima. We used Annabel as a mn, DH completely vetoed Jemima Sad , and Matilda was on our list.

Not so keen on the others.

MrsEllsmore · 31/05/2013 20:46

Eliza for me, very pretty and very classy. Does no one else just think of Jemima Puddle Duck from Beatrix Potter?

Elquota · 31/05/2013 20:42

Annabel or Elodie, by far.

Wishfulmakeupping · 31/05/2013 08:40

Annabel or Eliza both lovely

elsabel · 31/05/2013 08:39

Eliza and Matilda win hands down for me

HystericalParoxysm · 31/05/2013 08:26

Love Eliza, and Annabel. Did like Matilda but there are 4 in DS's nursery (out of 30!) so for me it's too popular now.

OrangeFireandGoldashes · 31/05/2013 07:29

Eliza, but I'm biased as it's a family name. Matilda and Jemima also pretty. Eloise is okay, not so keen on the others.

MortifiedAdams · 28/05/2013 10:28

Jemima or Matilda

Cheerymum · 28/05/2013 10:22

All nice. Can't stop thinking Ottilie Bottilie but that's just me being childish. Annabel is my favourite x

HazleNutt · 28/05/2013 10:20

Eloise or Elodie

orderinformation · 27/05/2013 03:51

All lovely. Matilda my least favourite.

Love Annabel. Was on my shortlist but had a boy.

I know a young Eloise. Is lovely.

GW297 · 26/05/2013 22:32

All nice but especially Eloise and Elodie.

Whatalotofpiffle · 26/05/2013 22:13

Matilda

exoticfruits · 26/05/2013 22:12

Eliza or Eloise

Happymum22 · 26/05/2013 22:02

Eliza - Don't like
Matilda - Love, popular at the moment if that bothers you
Eloise - OK
Annabel - OK
Jemima - Quite like, knew a Jemima at school and she was a huge teachers pet/goody goody from a very strict family (which puts me off it!!) but without that association, I do like it a lot.
Elodie - Quite like, bit different in a good way
Ottilie - OK

Love Eliza and Matilda.

I could never use Jemima because of the Aunt Jemima associations, but I imagine people in the UK generally don't have these associations.

Annabel

Leeds2 · 26/05/2013 21:46

Otttlie

eatyourveg · 26/05/2013 21:43

Eliza and Jemima - they are all nice but Annabel works better as a middle name whereas none of the others do

WilmaFingerdoo · 26/05/2013 21:36

Annabel but then I have one so am biased.

Also like Jemima.

Ottilie. Thats an odd one. Sounds like a place name.
