Aren't they all lovely? How will I choose? How do people pick just one? Help!

I just can't see why it's so unpopular. I already have a Henrietta and think it goes well but am now panicking!

0pti0na1 · 27/09/2016 22:35

Shrop I do like Pippa as a nickname for Philippa, not so much as a stand-alone name.

InLoveWithMattSmithsQuiff · 27/09/2016 19:29

Tabitha is the best name I think. Margot is nice but people may think Margot Robbie (from suicide squad)
Cecily is pretty too.
Pippa is a bit too close to Peppa
Evangeline is lovely
Eloise may become Ellie or Ella

So out of those names I'd choose Tabitha with Evangeline as middle name (unless your surname is long, in which case the names might not flow!)

Margot Cecily. Lovely.

Sophronia · 27/09/2016 17:03

Tabitha or Cecily

CakeRattleandRoll · 27/09/2016 01:28

Tabitha would be my choice. Next would be Margot or Cecily.
Eloise would become yet another Ellie, and Pippa is more of a nn.

Buntysoven · 27/09/2016 00:42

Eloise by a mile!

NoncommittalToSparkleMotion · 27/09/2016 00:39

I too thought that was a crazy long name.

I like Eloise best.

AmeliaJack · 27/09/2016 00:37

This is how you pick: stand at the back door and yell each one in turn.

Whichever one feels best, that's the one.

You're going to be calling it across parks, supermarkets, museums etc etc. It's good to practice. Grin

Evangeline

(Yay for House of Elliot)

EssentialHummus · 26/09/2016 23:56

Cecily, the others are terrible.

Shropitlikeitshot · 26/09/2016 23:48

Why don't people like Pippa? Phillipa is top of my list if it's a girl but now I'm worried....

cornishglos · 26/09/2016 23:21

Pippa is nice.
The others are really not.

Vixxfacee · 26/09/2016 22:12

Evangeline is the best of a bad bunch. Pippa is atrocious.

Raines100 · 26/09/2016 22:00

Evangeline or Eloise- beautiful and classy.
Tabitha is nice; Margot is not.
Pippa is meh.
Cecily would be awful if she had a lisp.

DramaAlpaca · 26/09/2016 22:00

I vote for Cecily, Eloise or Evangeline.

I don't like the others.

0pti0na1 · 26/09/2016 20:40

I like Evangeline, and also Cecily (Cecilia even nicer IMO).

Allalonenow · 26/09/2016 19:57

Cecily by a very long way.

Not Pippa Tabitha or Evangeline.

Frazzled2207 · 26/09/2016 19:49

Not Pippa but others all great. Love Evangeline esp. Reminds me of House of Eliott (showing my age )

GoldPlatedBacon · 26/09/2016 19:38

How about Philippa (then shorten to Pippa) ?

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 26/09/2016 19:28

Tabitha Eloise is nice, or Tabitha Rose

AbandonHopeDarren · 26/09/2016 19:04

Cecily!

See? Easy peasy Wink.

NameChange30 · 26/09/2016 18:37

I like Margot and Pippa.
Eloise is OK (a bit fussy for my taste).
Don't like Tabitha, Cecily or Evangeline.

Pepsioften100 · 26/09/2016 18:36

I vote not Evangeline or Tabitha.
Eloise is ok.
Other three are much nicer!!

SantasLittleMonkeyButler · 26/09/2016 18:36

I was also thinking it was all one name - with five middle names Grin.

Eloise gets my vote.

Then Evangeline or Tabitha.

Margot & Cecily are really not to my taste. Nothing wrong with either name, just not names I'd consider using.

Pippa is horrific. Sorry.
