Cecily!

They're all nice.

minipie · 03/10/2016 20:35

Eloise and Cecily

Bellyrub1980 · 02/10/2016 00:27

Yep I've loved Eloise ever since I first properly became aware of the name about 8/9 years ago, it was one of the characters names in Lost. I see it written every now and then and it always catches my eye. I e never met one.

Weezer is apparently a common nn for it.... Not quite so nice!!!

Eloise.
Oh to have another dd Smile

W8woman · 30/09/2016 15:55

Cecily and Eliza both gorgeous.

Semester?!!

I have a friend with a Tabitha & Jemima. Claims not to love Beatrix Potter buts its suspicious.

Jokat · 30/09/2016 13:10

Cecily, not Cecil. Thank you predictive text

Jokat · 30/09/2016 13:08

Eliza is the prettiest name on the planet!
I do also love Cecil.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 30/09/2016 12:54

Cecily and Eliza are absolutely beautiful - classic, timeless, elegant, simple and wonderfully pretty. Two of my absolute favourite names, and make a lovely sibset if you ever have another daughter!

Eloise - I love, but it has a more modern feel to me as it's become a lot more popular recently - beautifully elegant name, but I worry that it'll be the next Olivia or Isabella.

Emilia - Not a fan of this, or Amelia. Also becoming very popular lately - there'll most likely be more Amelias/Emilias/Emilys in her year group. I do like Emma, though.

Jemima - Really dislike - Jemima Puddleduck? I just don't think it's a pretty sounding name. Clunky and old-fashioned to me.

Tabitha - see Jemima. Tabby cats. Not a very pretty or elegant name to me - reminds me of a bright orange cat with a lisp. Sorry!

Cecily and Eliza are my absolute favourites - Cecily Eliza Lastname makes a beautiful combination!

Not puddleduck or tabby cat. Don't really like Eloise either.
So Eliza or Cecily. Both are much nicer than the other three.

hoddtastic · 30/09/2016 00:33

There are a billion Ellie / Ella type names out there - tabitha is a cats name- Jemima a ducks- Cecily is nice (as is Celia , Esther , Lara and elizabeth )

ShmooBooMoo · 30/09/2016 00:28

Eloise or Elise

My reservation with Eloise is that she might become another Ella/Ellie...

Emelia or Tabitha :-)

NightCzar · 30/09/2016 00:20

Eloise is my favourite name in the world. My DH also didn't like it. I feel as though an Emilia would spend her whole life correcting people trying to spell Amelia.

CakeRattleandRoll · 30/09/2016 00:16

Tabitha

WyfOfBathe · 30/09/2016 00:10

I love Eliza and might steal it for my list

I don't like Jemima because all I can think of is Jemima Puddleduck

chinlo · 30/09/2016 00:00

Eliza or Emilia.

Definitely NOT Tabitha or Jemima!!

Sophronia · 29/09/2016 23:50

Jemima or Tabitha

Ambroxide · 29/09/2016 23:06

The only one that isn't great is Eloise. Good choices!

bummyknocker · 29/09/2016 22:54

Cecily for me!
