If you had to pick a name that you would immediately consider 'beautiful' on hearing it, what would it be?

Princess Tiaami

Can't remember where the accent goes, though.

secrettoshare · 22/01/2009 19:44

Anna or any name that ends with Anna.

Joanna
Rosanna
Suzannah

Old fashioned now, but therefore more unusual, and still lovely.

I also like Catherine, Elizabeth and Victoria.

claireybrations · 22/01/2009 19:39

Well dd's name (Caiela), obviously

Noemi

Camille

Inanentle (love this said but don't like the way it looks written down)

Morenike (again love the way this sounds but not how it looks)

And there are loads that I think are beautiful written down but not so much when they are said eg

Marguerite

Josiane

Marjorie

And plenty more that I would find beautiful if I was able to distance myself from someone with that name eg Alice, Neo or Rosalie

MrsMattie · 22/01/2009 19:08

Bella (I am biased though ), Anna, Alexandra, Maria, Roseanna - I like classic, feminine names.

helenhismadwife · 22/01/2009 17:01

Madeline, Isabelle, Matilda, Hannah, Tiffany, Millie and Daisy my girls and my nieces names all lovely but I am biased

I dont like the name Eilidh at all it always sounds to me like someone has missed the 'h' of hailey

Rachyanne · 22/01/2009 13:31

definately Alice !, our Alice who is 2 is beautiful, her name suits her soooooooooooo well. Alice Rose. x

fearne my dd name

janeite · 30/12/2008 19:06

I have two dds, each with two names and three of the four names are on this thread. I like classic and/or rather flowery names and some of the ones I would say are beautiful are:
Lily
Elinor
Violet
Yolande
Abigail
Marianne
Madelaine
Miranda

None of the above are my dds' names though.

slackrunner · 30/12/2008 18:55

Both my and dd's name on here several times too.

I'll join you in being smug smugaboo

belgo · 30/12/2008 18:52

Anaïs:

An -ay - ees

or something like that.

I love most french girl's names such as Celeste and Delphine.

Love Alice and Eliza. My dds's names are beautiful, but I'm not going to give them away, but one has the second name Adrienne which I adore.

Lulubee · 30/12/2008 18:46

How do you pronounce Anais? It looks lovely written down.

I think Genevieve is lovely to hear, say, write and see written down.

missymoo2411 · 30/12/2008 13:28

mia ,amellie,jem,

jojosmaman · 29/12/2008 10:54

Alexandra as the two Alex's I know, one departed way too early and one still with me are both beautiful girls in body and spirit so the name has connotations of lovely beautifulness to me! If I had a dd I wouldnt call her Alex though it would be too raw for the family of my late best friend but she would definately have this as her middle name.

smugaboo · 29/12/2008 10:32

My name is on here twice! And my daughter's once.

(sorry, not contributing, just a bit happy).
