OMG! You could have written my list!! I love Imogen, Cecilia, Juliette, Sophia and Ava.
NO idea about boys names though! Wow, only just getting my head around a shock pregnancy so your list made me smile and feel a bit excited

Hulababy · 20/07/2008 20:04

By far my favourite is Matilda.

I also like Isobel, Liliian (shortened to Lily) and Sophia.

kittywise · 20/07/2008 20:03

All ok apart from Zoe which is not.

loobylu3 · 20/07/2008 20:02

Hi there,

I like Imogen, Cecilia, Matilda and Isobel. Not keen on Mariella, Zoe and Lilian.
Good luck choosing!

AbbeyA · 20/07/2008 18:25

All except Mariella.

ilovemydog · 20/07/2008 18:20

juliet is DD's middle name

ByTheSea · 20/07/2008 18:16

They are all nice names, but I like Juliet and Mariella best.

janeite · 20/07/2008 18:14

Lovely list!

I especially like:
Cecilia
Juliet
Rosalind
Isobel

I don't like Zoe or Mariella.

Nancy66 · 20/07/2008 18:06

Matilda is my favourite from your list.
Rosalind and Juliet are my least favourite.

olyoly · 20/07/2008 17:57

I like Cecelia

WelliesAndPyjamas · 20/07/2008 17:05

Mariella

nickeldime · 20/07/2008 17:03

I like Zoe. It's short and sweet, which probably explains its recent surge in popularity: www.babynamespedia.com/meaning/Zoe

mosschops30 · 20/07/2008 16:56

I only like Imogen

elijahblue · 20/07/2008 16:43

Sophia or Isobel

FabioUnblogged · 20/07/2008 16:17

yes

cece · 20/07/2008 16:12

Lillian - think has 2 l in the middle doesn't it?

Mariella - could grow on me.

hw2004 · 20/07/2008 16:10

You've picked lovely names although not sure on Matilda. I particularly like Juliet (although not sure of Julie as a shortened version), Imogen and Cecilia.

TillyScoutsmum · 20/07/2008 15:03

Matilda and Juliet are my favorites . Cecilia is pretty too

norkmaiden · 20/07/2008 15:01

Cecilia or Matilda

LaDiDaDi · 20/07/2008 14:50
