Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I love Matilda and Etta.

Florence and Matilda are both lovely, but not 'timeless'. They're both very popular now, having been hardly used 10/15 years ago. This means they will date.

I like Olive a lot, but it's very close to Olivia which is also very popular. It's been no.1 for about 10 years I think.

Margot is lovely and underused.

Cecelia (Cece) - sweet, underused also.

I don't like Etta. It just doesn't seem like a complete name...it's more like a noise!

Margot - nice, but getting popular since Margot Robbie :)

Olive - cute, but reminds me of a 90 year old!

Cecelia (Cece) - not keen

Matilda - love - Matti for short!

Etta - love - very unusual these days !

Florence - cute. Would probably be shortened to Flo. Which is also very cute !

Margot- nice! Margot Robbie is a great person to share a name with!
Olive- absolutely vile (sorry!!)
Cecelia (Cece)- it’s a definite no and absolutely no with the nickname! Also reminds me of Atonement
Matilda- lovely though quite popular I think
Etta- Spanish terrorist group. Largely unheard of in recent years but if they begin to launch attacks again, you might regret naming your girl Etta
Florence- bit drab

All lovely but I particularly like Cecelia and Etta.
