DM said it was because she missed me so much. (However I think it was because the dog did as it was told & loved cuddles non stop Grin )

TinselBeakerSoChristmas · 02/12/2018 15:33

Though bizarrely my DM got a dog after I left home (moved far away so didn't get to see her very often) & gave it a variation of my name e.g think Louisa & Lulu or Catherine & Katy Grin

TinselBeakerSoChristmas · 02/12/2018 15:30

I get that Grin

tinselbeakersochristmas I do like Seraphina but it’s the name of my aunts cat so feels a bit weird Grin

I know it's not on your list but how about Seraphina?

TinselBeakerSoChristmas · 02/12/2018 15:17

Isadora is beautiful.
Was on the list for DD but DH didn't wasn't as keen as me on it.

I met a really nice girl called Evangelina a few years ago. So like that name too.

MeganJ93 · 02/12/2018 15:14

My favourite is Margot. I think it's a lovely name.

Juno - Not bad but I prefer June.
Evangeline - I've never liked this name. I find it a bit over the top.
Bonnie - Cutesy.
Isadora - Nice enough. I prefer Isabel though.

In reference to Elizabeth.

Smile19 · 01/12/2018 21:20

I think the 'Effy' nn probably comes from the 'beth...eth' sound which isn't in Evangeline. However at the end of the day go with what you love. Congratulations.

starkid · 01/12/2018 09:53

I like Juno and Isadora (but only if you're fine with possibly ending up an Izzy)

username1724 · 01/12/2018 08:36

Isadora or Evangeline I love

LegoPiecesEverywhere · 01/12/2018 07:42

I like Margot best

We’re still so stuck!!
Evangeline is quite frilly but we’d be nicknaming her Effy which I love as a nn (I know it’s not an immediate one but if you can get it out of Elizabeth then why not)
And Juno is just so cool and spunky to me- the type of name I wish I had
Margot and Isadora are both just so beautiful to me
Not sure Bonnie matches up and may be close to scratching that one off the list

I love Juno & Evangeline.

Bonnie is a bit twee.

Isadora is OK, but I hate Dora which it might get shortened to.

I find Margot a very ugly, harsh name.

Astronica · 30/11/2018 23:37

All good and usable names.

Juno - my favourite. Simple but strong and quirky, not frilly and not over popular
Bonnie - my 2nd favourite - bright, straightforward, sweet but strong
Evangeline and Isadora - okay but a little frilly for me, like Evie nn
Margot - currently stylish and popular, just a little harsh sounding for me

Shadow1234 · 30/11/2018 20:58

Evangeline

RedDwarves · 30/11/2018 20:39

Love Juno.

Like Bonnie and Evangeline.

Not a fan of Margot or Isadora.

brodiee · 30/11/2018 13:20

Juno is gorgeous

ThatGirl82 · 30/11/2018 13:10

I love Juno. It was on my list but DP didn't like it sadly.

17caterpillars1mouse · 30/11/2018 12:47

I really love Isadora and Evangeline

Don't like Juno at all and don't understand the love for it on here

reeny19 · 30/11/2018 12:37

Bonnie and Margot the better ones.

Isadora just reminds me of wizadora! (A kid’s show in the 90’s)

ernjas · 30/11/2018 12:07

Really like Juno but not the others!

Margot is my favourite by far. I quite like Isadora and Juno as well. Bonnie is too babyish and Evangeline is too frilly.

Sophronia · 30/11/2018 11:55

Juno Evangeline or Isadora Juno
