We have a Beatrice. I love it, always have, always will. It was the name I always wanted since long before I even knew if I wanted kids.

Baby on the way is Matilda. I was originally put off by its recent surge in popularity but eventually decided I don’t care.

Eliza and Phoebe both nice but not names I’d go for myself.

DottieLottie1 · 28/06/2019 22:30

I like Eliza best, Beatrice ok but prefer Beatrix

BarryBarryTaylor · 28/06/2019 22:15

Only like Beatrice.

Eliza - I was bullied by one ☹️
Matilda- nice enough but probably will be another one in her class
Phoebe - nice but a bit tame.

I’m not too keen on any of them but my favourite is Matilda.

PrincessLouis · 28/06/2019 22:06

LOVE Eliza

Beatrice & Matilda have both been very popular in recent years so may date. Phoebe is ok.

Pixilicious · 28/06/2019 21:52

Not Matilda, too common now
Beatrice is lovely

Icklepup · 28/06/2019 21:24

Eliza Beatrice

DramaAlpaca · 28/06/2019 20:30

I like Matilda best, followed by Beatrice, Eliza & Phoebe in that order.

Peitho · 28/06/2019 20:29

Phoebe is the only one I like.

MollyHuaCha · 28/06/2019 20:28

Beatrice

Peachbubble · 28/06/2019 20:16

I vote for Matilda

miamiibiza · 28/06/2019 20:06

Matilda

whitehalleve · 28/06/2019 20:05

I prefer Matilda

TFSRM · 28/06/2019 20:03

Beatrice is the nicest of those names

Fatkins · 28/06/2019 19:47

I would also go for Beatrice. Matilda used to be one of my favourite names, but I've gone off it recently for some reason. I like Eliza and dislike Phoebe.

MikeUniformMike · 28/06/2019 19:42

Of the 4, Beatrice. Matilda is overused.

RuthW · 28/06/2019 19:39

Love all of those except Matilda.
