Greta is awful (sorry)

tumbletumble · 06/07/2015 13:00

I like Thea, not keen on Greta or Xanthe

Greta's one of my favourites and hopefully going on my shortlist. Xanthe's probably going on my shortlist too, then Thea, not a fan of Florence but that's possibly because it was a Great Aunt's name

I have a 1 year old Xanthe. It comes up on here a lot but I've never met another one in real life. Do it!

I also really like Thea.

The other three are quite nice too.

WednesdayRebel · 06/07/2015 02:27

Thea. I'd love Thea but my OH isn't keen.

Also love the suggestion someone made of Clara as an alternative.

Cleo could be another one?

CakeInMyFace · 05/07/2015 19:59

Love Florence then Greta. Not keen on the others.

Kittykatmacbill · 05/07/2015 19:43

Love greta and love love xanthe! Silly dh would not let either on the list :-)

doublepotions · 05/07/2015 18:51

Love Greta.

Volenflo · 05/07/2015 18:43

I love Florence, I have one though so I am slightly biased!

Hottypotty · 05/07/2015 18:42

Thea or Florence
How about Clara?

DramaAlpaca · 05/07/2015 18:36

Florence is the only one I like, or maybe Flora.

ems942 · 05/07/2015 18:32

Thea, not Greta.

villainousbroodmare · 05/07/2015 18:10

Thea, But depends a lot on your surname.

sweetpeame · 05/07/2015 18:10

Florence is by far the best, I don't like any of the others.

MamaLazarou · 05/07/2015 18:07

Florence is lovely. Floss for short!

barbecue · 05/07/2015 17:25

Florence or Xanthe.

CakeRattleandRoll · 05/07/2015 15:20

Xanthe

TempsPerdu · 05/07/2015 14:54

Love both Greta and Xanthe, although they're quite different in style. Thea's OK and I'm not keen on Flora or Florence (think it's the 'Flor' sound, plus Florence is very popular at the moment).

sidonie1 · 05/07/2015 13:35

Love love love Greta!

andadietcoke · 05/07/2015 13:17

I adore Xanthe but DH and my mum vetoed it. Have it for me!

TinyManticore · 05/07/2015 13:16

Thea or Florence. Not Xanthe.

TiredAssShowgirl · 05/07/2015 13:10

Xanthe or Thea.

afreshstartplease · 05/07/2015 13:10

Thea
