Trying to pick a girls name and here's the shortlist... I know a few of these some people either love or hate. I don't want to pick something too of the moment but I don't want something boring either... which would you pick? I have a son with a very classic name... Happy for other suggestions too.

Cleo
Jemima
Astrid
Blossom
Tulip
Agnes
Lavender
Celine

Not the flower ones. How about Marguerite for a flower name?

Not Marmite, I like Astrid best.

Cleo
Jemima
Agnes
Nice names

Astrid- no
Blossom- I cringe saying it
Tulip
Lavender
I don't like

How do you pronounce Celine?

I didn’t mention that I like Lavender. Nice meaning, and nice sound

Cleo- no
Jemima- this one is getting popular, but I think it’s only being used because all the previously higher society names have become popular, so people are looking elsewhere.
Astrid- don’t like
Blossom- too hippy
Tulip- hasn’t caught on yet
Agnes- still old lady to me
Lavender- I see potential in this name to be the new “Violet”
Celine- I like this name

I love Cleo & Celine.

Agnes, Jemima & Astrid are OK but not really my cup of tea.

I really dislike all three of those flower names, especially Blossom.

Agnes is the only one I like but I don't think any of them are too out there. I would probably avoid Blossom if your son has a classic name as would be a bit too different.
