I'm interested in knowing what people's favourites are from my list of girls names for dd2. I'm struggling to decide! Not due for another 14 weeks so plenty of time but we had dd1's name sorted by now so I'm not used to the wait and see what she looks like method!

Florence and Alice.

Elizabeth is my favourite.

SarcasmMode · 20/12/2016 21:52

I like Georgia and Anna best.

MikeUniformMike · 20/12/2016 21:51

I like all of them.
1.Tessa - prefer Tess but both are fine
2.Georgia - fine
3.Elizabeth - yes but pick the preferred shortened version - love Beth, Lizzie and Eliza, Libby is OK
4.Bethan - no, it's a Welsh name that was hugely popular in the 60s and 70s so is a bit dated (in Wales), and the non-welsh pronunciation (the a pronounced as uh instead of a as in cat) is not good. It is just another form of Elizabeth really.
5.Juliet - it's nice but I don't like it pronounced Julie-ETTE. I say Jool-yet but think maybe it is Jooly-et
6.Florence - pretty but not keen on Flo, Florrie or Flossie
7.Anna - excellent
8.Alice - love it
9.Martha - it's ok. bit frumpy maybe.

Tess is my favourite (but not Tessa!)

Than I like Alice.

Least favourite is probably Florence.

I like most of them!

Favourites are Juliet, Martha, Elizabeth and Alice.

Not so keen on Tessa (I see it as a nickname) or Bethan (looks unfinished)

Hassled · 20/12/2016 21:37

They're all lovely names. Least favourite is Bethan. Favourite probably Anna - I love that name. Then Alice, then Juliet. But waiting to see what she looks like is an approach that works well.

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 20/12/2016 21:36

Bethan, Georgia and Juliet.

KenDoddsDadsDog · 20/12/2016 21:35

Martha is my favourite
