I only like Poppy & Tilly as a nn. for Matilda

indigo13 · 22/03/2017 09:22

What mixed taste he has. I like Everly the most, Willow shortened to Wills is cute but there are too many of them about now. The rest on his list are blah. What do you like?

Rockaby · 21/03/2017 16:14

Willow, Yasmin and Cadence are lovely. Willow is my favourite of the three.

I'm not terribly keen on the others, but you only need one and Yasmin is really nice. I haven't met one for ages either.

Dixiestamp · 21/03/2017 14:52

Not at all- you just tried to say that Cadence wasn't a name it was a noun but went on to say you liked Willow.

FreeNiki · 21/03/2017 10:39

Dixiestamp god i heard about argumentative women on here for the sake of it. proven right.

DonkeysDontRideBicycles · 21/03/2017 10:24

In alphabetical order would probably say no to Everly, Iva, Patsy, Roberta and Tilly.

I'd spell Karina with a C: Carina.

SaudadeObama · 21/03/2017 07:54

I like Yasmin, Lara and Willow (although it sounds like it shouldn't be used on people over 25). I don't like the other names.

NapQueen · 21/03/2017 07:06

Katrina dont like
Karina dont like
Kiera dont like

What would you pick of all the names out there if he didnt get a say?

MiniAlphaBravo · 21/03/2017 07:02

What names do you like op? You should both get some input surely?! Of this list I like Lara and Willow is ok. Quite like Poppy. And as pp have said Jasmine is nice but not Yasmin for me (reminds me of the pill).

Dixiestamp · 21/03/2017 06:57

Sorry, that was Freeniki I was referring to but can't remember how to get people's names to come up (especially when I've been awake all night for no apparent reason!!)

Dixiestamp · 21/03/2017 06:55

You've lost your own argument there because Willow is a noun too! Using Cadence is no different to using Melody, for example, which is fine as a name, isn't it? (and it's a lot more specific a term than tempo, metre etc).

SuperBeagle · 21/03/2017 05:00

I like Poppy and Sabrina.

I don't like Katrina, Karina, Kiera (I do like Chiara though - prn. key-ah-rah), Cadence, Roberta, Yasmin, Patsy or Iva (Ivy is nice though).

I'm neutral about Lara, Tilly (this is a lot nicer as a nickname for Matilda), Everly and Willow.

ellaki · 21/03/2017 04:13

Lara! and Willow.

Also, I know these are not on your list but I always loved Hazel and Robyn

FreeNiki · 21/03/2017 04:07

Cadence isn't a name it's a noun. It means modulation or inflection of the voice or sequence of notes or chords comprising the close of a musical phrase.

It is like naming your child Rhythm, Tempo, Metre, beat, etc

I like Willow from the list.

Dixiestamp · 21/03/2017 03:41

Love Lara and like Cadence, Poppy (sorry!) and Tilly. Oh, and Kiera, but I might tinker with the spelling.

mistermagpie · 20/03/2017 10:31

I really love Cadence, DH wasn't keen but it's my favourite of yours.

Spartak · 20/03/2017 10:03

I like Lara and Karina the best.

I'm on the Yasmin contraceptive pill so that would be a definite no.

BounceBounceSplishSplash · 20/03/2017 10:00

Katrina is the only one I like from the list but I prefer Katerina.

Loyly · 20/03/2017 09:57

Cadence, Lara and Karina (though I prefer it spelt Carina) are nice. I dislike the others.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 20/03/2017 09:53

From your list, I like ;
Katrina
Cadence (Cady)
Poppy
Sabrina
Patsy
Willow

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 20/03/2017 01:14

BarInSpace · 20/03/2017 01:08

I like Karina, Kiera, Poppy, Willow and Sabrina.

Buntysoven · 20/03/2017 00:48

Roberta is fab. The one I know is Robbie

RiverdaleJughead · 20/03/2017 00:45
