I only like Elsie from the list x

MadameJosephine · 05/05/2018 13:04

Elsie - pretty but becoming very popular

Primrose - a bit too ‘prim’

Juno - really don’t like this

Clara - lovely but potential for mispronunciation

Coralie - beautiful, love it

Aubrey - not keen, I think of this as a boy’s name

Felicity - gorgeous, my favourite by a mile

17caterpillars1mouse · 05/05/2018 12:59

Elsie, Primrose or Coralie though I prefer Coraline

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 05/05/2018 12:26

Elsie - really don't like
Primrose - ok
Juno - love
Clara - quite nice
Coralie - not keen
Aubrey - awful
Felicity - by far the best!

Cosmoa · 05/05/2018 10:47

Juno and Aubrey are my faves on your list 😁

missmouse101 · 05/05/2018 10:42

Primrose, Juno lovely. Elsie, Aubrey, Felicity are awful.

Schmoochypoos · 05/05/2018 10:40

Felicity or Primrose

greatbiggiraffe · 05/05/2018 10:37

Clara is my favourite

HeyDolly · 05/05/2018 10:35

Primrose, Elsie and Clara.

Chocolatecoffeeaddict · 05/05/2018 09:50

My daughter has Primrose as a middle name. I wanted it as a first name but people put me off.

eloisesparkle · 05/05/2018 09:43

Elsie

I don't like any of the others.

RedDwarves · 05/05/2018 09:33

I love Juno.

Also really like Elsie and Clara.

I like Felicity in principle, but where I live, lazy speech means it's pronounced "Feliciddy", and other areas would miss the t completely, making it "Felici'y".

Not a fan of Primrose, Coralie or Aubrey.

schnubbins · 05/05/2018 09:30

Clara

Belindabauer · 05/05/2018 09:29

Clara then Felicity.

PelvicFloorClenchReminder · 05/05/2018 09:27

I like Clara and Coralie. Aubrey is a boys' name. That would be like naming your daughter Dave.

MumOfTwoMasterOfNone · 05/05/2018 09:26

Juno and Clara

daisypond · 05/05/2018 09:20

Elsie - definite no - drab, demeaning servant name
Primrose - yes, quite like
Juno - hmm, just about OK in a hippie way.
Clara - yes, OK, classic.
Coralie - OK, but a bit frilly
Aubrey - a boy's name.
Felicity - yes.

LoveInTokyo · 05/05/2018 09:14

Elsie - Victorian scullery maid name, not so great on an adult woman

Primrose - silly on a little girl, ridiculous on an adult woman

Juno - love it

Clara - love it

Coralie - OK

Aubrey - don’t like it

Felicity - like it

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 05/05/2018 09:12

*Z ... 🤔

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 05/05/2018 09:11

Coralie is lovely Z,

LadyWithLapdog · 05/05/2018 09:06

Felicity
Clara

Enidblyton1 · 05/05/2018 09:06

Love Juno and Clara

The others are all nice, though I'm not so keen on Elsie because it's very popular around here.

Aubrey is my least favourite - it's an old mans name. I met a little girl Aubrey the other day and it just felt wrong. Like her parents were trying too hard to be cool.
