Phoebe definitely

CloserIAm2Fine · 03/01/2019 19:28

I love Imogen, Phoebe (that spelling only) and Matilda

Magnificentbeast · 03/01/2019 19:27

Prefer Cora to Nora.

Magnificentbeast · 03/01/2019 19:24

Any of the ones not ending in 'a'. They're all lovely names.
What about Beatrix or Beatrice?

EmmaC78 · 03/01/2019 19:14

I don't like Nora but the rest are nice.

Christmasisforadults2 · 03/01/2019 19:10

Love the two names you already have plus Nora is cute and Noah for a girl is lovely. Pippa is my top choice out of them all

WrapAndRoll · 03/01/2019 18:42

My order of preference would be

Florence
Phoebe
Imogen
Pippa
Matilda
Nora

However your tastes are what count! I think Matilda would go well with Isla and Freya.

-Nora - not keen
-Pippa - not keen, unless short for Philippa.
-Florence - like this, but a bit similar to Freya.
-Imogen - I don't generally like this, but I think this is a good match with your other DC names.
-Pheobe - Phoebe (spelled this way) I like, but I don't think it "goes".
-Matilda - yes, I've grown to like this (after not being too keen on it).

  • Nora - no, Dora and Cora are nicer
-Pippa - yes -Florence - yes but Freya and Florence a bit too similar -Imogen - yes -Pheobe - Phoebe - too many F sounds? -Matilda - yes

I think I'd go with Pippa.

Naughtysausage · 03/01/2019 18:31

I love Pippa and Matilda is a great choice too.
Not a fan of Nora, but each to their own!

Santababyclaus · 03/01/2019 18:24

Phoebe (spelt this way) is my favourite but it's a bit much with Freya. I'd choose Matilda

Shadow1234 · 03/01/2019 18:22

Imogen is my favourite on your list, and goes well with Freya and Isla.

Maria
Clara
Sylvia
Keira

I think Florence or Imogen work the best with the other names. Not another ending in a (I think 3 of them might be a bit much to say together), but another F or I sound good when read out together.
