Joy
Julia
Penelope
Helen
Vivienne

Thoughts welcome, or ideas. Naming a human is HARD.

Vivienne and Helen aren't favourites

Julia and Vivienne were both on my list too.

Actually looking back I prefer Juliet and Vivienne would not suit my ten year old who lives in a hoody and leggings Grin

Joy - I dislike most virtue names but this one is really hard to live with I think.
Julia - this one is ok. I ought to like it now with its ancient roots but it feels quite 70s to me. I don't dislike it though.
Penelope - again I feel as though this is one I should like. But I think it's rocketing in popularity and I just don't love it. I really dislike Penny.
Helen - I love Helena but I find Helen a little bland.
Vivienne - I like this one.

Joy - sweet and simple
Julia - not a fan
Penelope - my fav on your list
Helen - ok
Vivienne - seems a bit to old fashioned
