My favourite girl names -what do people think?

I have a few favourite girl names (due in June), interested in what others think? I won't be offended :) My top name is Audrey, probably Audrey Clothilde (Clothilde is my mum's middle name). Other top choices are Ida, Violet and Imogen. I like the nicknames Millie and Tillie (also Minnie) but can't think of any good names to go with them!

Just the usual caution that Minnie is common slang for a girls gentialia ( Black Country/ brum at least )

I'm such an idiot - I didn't realise Clothilde could shorten to Tillie! Maybe I should save it for a first name as I like Clo also! (although given I don't even know this baby is a girl it might be planning a bit too far ahead to be definitely having 2 girls :P ) I could get away with it being unusual because it's a family name...

I'm a real life Clothilde and I love it. I shorten it to Tilda.

Love Violet. Would have been my dds name but a family member got there first.

What about Matilda with Tillie for short?

Love Violet. Favourite girls name after dd.

Don't like any of the others, sorry.

I love imogen, violet and minnie.
Minnie needs a full name though.
Not keen on Audrey though (corrie).

Really love Audrey, Violet and Minnie.

Don't love Imogen, Ida, Millie or Tillie.
