I'm determined not to tell family or friends what we've chosen, so relying on you lovely people for an opinion. We are having the middle name Maria (after my auntie) and our surname is similar to Hanson. I'd also like a first name that isn't too popular but not too unusual. So, the list is:

Connie
Esme
Beatrix
Nell
Emmeline
Isla
Nyla
Renee (pronounced in the french way)
Erin

At the moment Connie is my favourite (but that could change in about 30 seconds).

Connie - yes if short for Constance
Esme - don't like
Beatrix - can't get away from "Potter". Beatrice much nicer
Nell - only if short for something
Emmeline - like this best of your list
Isla - too "Generation Game"
Nyla - don't like
Renee (pronounced in the french way) - unusual and pretty, quite like
Erin - OK

Connie -- I love Constance and Constanza but really dislike Connie
Esme -- Like a lot
Beatrix -- Love, also love Beatrice
Nell -- Love, also love Nellie
Emmeline -- Love
Isla -- Like a lot
Nyla -- Love
Renee -- Maybe my favourite here
Erin -- bleugh

I love Renee, Beatrix, Emmeline, Nyla and Nell (would it be short for Elinor/Eleanor?) in that order.
