We've narrowed it down those those three after deciding my first idea of Clemency was a bit too risky. I'm sure whichever we chose will be good as we like them all but still undecided. I think I prefer clara because it doesn't need to be shortened like the others

Beatrice

Clara

Of the three, definitely Clara for me.

Legionofboom · 12/08/2014 16:48

Beatrice.

I can't understand all the love for Clara, it's awful.

funtimesahead · 12/08/2014 15:59

Another vote for Clara :)

ShovettyMcShovetty · 12/08/2014 15:55

Clara definitely.

I love Cecily or Cicely but don't like Cecilia, too frilly for me.

Beatrice is a good name (Bea v sweet nn)

Clara is fine.

How about Cara?

Clara.

Beatrice and Cecilia are awful.

TremoloGreen · 12/08/2014 15:27

I love Cecilia (Celia or Cee for short) but it was too sybillant with our surname. They're all great names though!

PrimalLass · 12/08/2014 15:01

Cecilia is a bit 'tell-tale girl in Mallory Towers' for me.

PrimalLass · 12/08/2014 15:01

Oops sorry Nugget Grin

Sophronia · 12/08/2014 14:33

Cecilia. It's less popular than the other two.

ralinax294 · 12/08/2014 13:10

Definitely Clara. Also quite like Beatrice, but dislike Cecilia.

NuggetofPurestGreen · 12/08/2014 13:09

And apologies in advance to any Beatrices or Beatrice parents, imo it's a bit boring.

NuggetofPurestGreen · 12/08/2014 13:08

No I said Clara wasn't boring! Grin. My punctuation wasn't clear.

PrimalLass · 12/08/2014 12:53

Clara. Not boring, thanks very much Grin Everyone we meet says it is very pretty.

NuggetofPurestGreen · 12/08/2014 12:45

Hate Cecelia, Beatrice is boring so Clara.

burgatroyd · 12/08/2014 12:42

Clara.

I don't like the meaning for Cecelia which is blind.
