I like Natalie. Juliet is good too but not juliette

WrappedInABlankie · 06/12/2014 22:06

Reuben is nice not a fan of the rest

As a josephene Clarissa don't do it. Confused Every other josephene I've met hates their name profusely and they've all been called Jo not josie

Clarissa - a bit frilly for my taste, prefer Clara

Josephine - like it a lot, it's long without being frilly, & I like Josie

Natalie - I think it's a bit 1980s, but it's a nice name, as long as she doesn't end up getting called Nat

Juliette - I much prefer Juliet.

Douglas - it's not to my taste, but it's OK

Reuben - like this best of your boy names

Edgar - really dislike this one, sorry

I really like Clarissa,Edgar and Reuben. I'm not keen on Natalie or Douglas as they may be shortened to Nat and Duggie but just my random view Smile

I like Juliet (without the garnish) Douglas and Edgar. Quite like Josie but not as Josephine but not that fussed about the others.

Josephine and Reuben.

Like Clarissa and Josephine.

Love Douglas.

Sorry not keen on other boys names.

I like Juliette, Douglas and Edgar from your list.

I like Natalie and Juliette.
Would pass on the others I think.
