Girls names - what do you think of these?

Tess
Eden
Juno
Kristen

Trying to avoid names that are too popular, or that end in an 'ie' or 'er' sound. Common surname, so want a first name that is unusual but not laughable. Would welcome your thoughts!

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Tess - not keen, doesn't seem like a full name to me
Eden - don't like, a bit masculine sounding
Juno - don't like, just makes me think of the film every time I hear it!
Kristen - not keen either. Love Kirsten or Kirsty, and don't mind Krista or Kristina though.

I like tess and Kirsten .

Tess - nice as a nn, but not a "proper" name. What about Tessa?
Eden - not keen - bit chavvy. I do know a baby girl Eden, but sounds like a boy's name to me too
Juno - nice - but a bit pretentious perhaps?
Kristen - do you mean Kirsten? I've never heard of Kristen. Will she for ever be saying "no, KRISTEN, not KIRSTEN"? I like Kirsten.

I like all of them although, as mentioned above, Tess is a nn. Theresa is lovely- why not go for that?

TheGirlOnTheLanding · 28/10/2013 14:35

Like Tess, prefer Kirsten to Kristen, not keen in Juno, actively dislike Eden.

Rtfairy · 28/10/2013 14:35

Like Eden and Juno, not so keen on the others

bootsycollins · 28/10/2013 14:35

Love them all except Eden.

Clargo55 · 28/10/2013 14:34

Eden is really popular here.
Juno just makes me think of the film.
Tess sounds like a cats name to me.

But if you love them you should go for what you like. We all have different opinions and I am just not keen on those names.

I like them all except Kristen.
Love Juno

ExitPursuedByABogieMan · 28/10/2013 14:28

Juno is lovely

casacastille · 28/10/2013 14:27

Tess I like as a diminutive (of Tessa, Theresa, Elizabeth.?) but I think it needs a long version

Eden and Juno no

Kristen is pretty

scarevola · 28/10/2013 14:25

Tess - ok, but I see it as a very informal nn
Eden - boys name
Juno - lovely
Kristen - like
