They are all pretty horrific.

Hebe- reminds me of having the heebie jeebies. Don't like it.
Jocelyn- like
Agnes- awful. Reminds me of Agnes Mooreheads character in bewitched- an elderly, grumpy witch!
Olive nn Livvy- like it, along with Olivia
Adeline /Adaline (pronounced add-uh-line)- don't like due to the multiple spellings and pronunciations
Sibyl- never seen it spelt like that and don't like that it sounds harsh somehow
Bryony- like
Astrid- like
Leonora nn Leo- 4 syllables so a real mouthful, esp if you have a longer surname. Don't like Leo for a nn.
Roberta nn Bobbie- don't like either name

I like Sibyl (this is spelling I prefer), Agnes, Bryony and Astrid.

My favourites are Olive, Adeline, Bryony and Roberta.

I don't like Hebe, Agnes or Leonora.

The others are in the middle. Wouldn't it usually be Sybil rather than Sibyl?

ReeseWitherfork · 31/05/2023 12:56

I love the name Astrid. Hate Sibyl. Not sure on Jocelyn. And Hebe is awful. The rest are all lovely names. Although I find little girls called Bobbie a bit odd.

Snoopystick · 31/05/2023 12:56

Roberta is the nicest but like Cybil (prefer this spelling)

TakeMeDancingNakedInTheRain · 31/05/2023 12:53

I mean they are all pretty ugly/weird, my sisters name is on the list spelt with an I though, the only normal name on there 🤣, her nickname is the male version of the name.

Mumofgirls2017 · 31/05/2023 12:45

Olive. Leonora and Roberta are ok

Coronationstation · 31/05/2023 12:44

Hebe - nice plant, hideous name for a child.
Jocelyn - not a fan
Agnes - ok, I know an "Aggie" so it's grown on me
Olive nn Livvy - nice
Adeline /Adaline (pronounced add-uh-line) - not a fan
Sibyl - awful
Bryony - dated and not in a trendy way
Astrid - awful
Leonora nn Leo - awful, sounds like you wanted a boy and couldn't think of any girls names
Roberta nn Bobbie - not a fan
