Like Michael and Leo

All good. Faves are Ruth, Pippa and Robin (although you'd have to be happy with Rob as abbreviation, which I wouldn't be).

If you like Christina and Annabel, what about Christabel?

All OK, but Phillippa and Robert, with Pippa and robin as shortenings, I think.

Love Constance, but just to warn you, it was on my shortlist for DD and every time I mention this she howls with outrage and says she would have left home by now if I had called her it!

I like Annabel, Pippa and Leo

Christina- not keen really. Seems a bit sensible shoes and 3 bed semi in the suburbs.

Annabel- Very pretty name and lots of potential for nicknames but suffers slightly from popularity, especially against the similar Isobel/Isabelle contingent

Ruth- good, strong, beautiful name

Constance- Great name. Constance is feisty and headstrong

Pippa- nickname and a horsey one at that

Michael- okay, not going to set the world on fire

Leo- no but I don't know why

Robin- I dislike this too, but possibly because it's unisex, albeit with a different spelling

David- good solid name, but again doesn't stand out as anything special or remarkable
