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.

Sorry not keen on other boys names.

I like Juliette, Douglas and Edgar from your list.

ArchangelGallic · 06/12/2014 21:54

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