I'd like to hear opinions. Thanks. I'm thinking I might like Camille best, but not certain fully.

Hazel and Amber are beautiful. I really don’t like Camille. Eleanor has been done to death.

Hazel is gorgeous

MrsTerryPratchett · 12/04/2018 02:25

Amber is dreadful. The rest are fine.

SheGotBetteDavisEyes · 12/04/2018 02:03

Camille is best! It's such a beautiful name.

I really don't like the others though, sorry. Hazel sounds so 1970's but not in a good way; Amber isn't great at all and I've never liked Eleanor, although my view is coloured by knowing two dreadful ones! Grin

Eleanor is my favourite, Amber my least favourite.

I like Camille in French, but it just sounds wrong to me with an English accent!

Eleanor. It was on our list.

Dislike Camille, like the others.
Camelia is better.
Hazel my favourite.

Eleanor. Really dislike this. It's very clunky to my ears.

I really like Amber and Eleanor. Not keen on Hazel, and Camille reminds me of camels.

Donotdisturbme · 11/04/2018 07:11

Camille is lovely (Camilla even better)
Amber is ok
Too many Eleanors
Not keen on Hazel

marmitecrumpets · 11/04/2018 07:08

Amber

CountFosco · 11/04/2018 06:35

Eleanor is one of my favourite names.

Hazel is perfectly acceptable, not keen on Amber and won't go for a foreign boys name for a girl.

Coey2016 · 11/04/2018 06:30

Camille my favourite. I like Amber, not so keen on Hazel or Eleanor

CircleofWillis · 11/04/2018 06:27

Eleanor, Hazel, Amber, Camille

Camille just doesn’t feel pleasant to say and I usually love French names.

Speedy85 · 11/04/2018 06:16

Lovely choices. I wouldn't go for Amber as I think it is too associated with cats and strippers (even though I like it!). The other 3 are lovely.

I would probably go for Hazel myself out of those choices.

Skippetydoodah · 11/04/2018 06:11

Camille is the nicest by far. I really don't like Hazel at all sorry, very old fashioned and not in a good way! Amber not massively keen as I know several people who have dogs called this, Eleanor I like but it sounds quite formal..for some reason I think spelling it Elinor makes it nicer!

AuntieStella · 11/04/2018 06:10

Eleanor

Amber and Hazel are fine, but not my preferences

Camille is a boys name in much of Europe, and I'm less keen on unisex names
