I like Florence and Lily best.

SacharissaCripslock · 29/05/2010 19:57

Tabitha. But you can't have it because it's mine. Not that I'm having any more children. But just in case.

ASmallBunchOfFlowers · 29/05/2010 19:56

The only ones I like are Florence and Tabitha. The rest are pretty but becoming very common (in the sense of prevalent).

Lonnie · 29/05/2010 19:53

Never liked Tabitha and Lily imo is just way to popular at the moment

LOve Flora but my surname starts with FL lol..

Florence is pretty as is Lila

sedgiebaby · 29/05/2010 19:24

I love all of them, but I think they are all getting ever so popular, I think I like florence most of all though, flori is nice as nn also.

SillyTillyBilly · 29/05/2010 18:39

Tabitha and Florence are my favourites - beautiful!

All are quite pleasant.

mrsgportishead · 29/05/2010 14:39

Love Florence and Flora, I think scarlett and Lily will date really quickly, though they are all nice names

curlygurly · 24/05/2010 17:28

I like Lila (or Lyla) and Florence - although fear it may be the new in name cos of Florence and the Machine?
Tabitha reminds me of a cat.
Lily too popular.
Scarlett = Scar
Flora Margerine...spreads well (sorry!)

XX

BafanaBafana · 24/05/2010 16:37

Lily is the only one I like whole heartedly (yes, yes, I know it is popular, but for a reason, imo).

Florence at a push.

pixiestix · 24/05/2010 15:50

In order of preference:

Lilla
Tabitha
Flora
Lily
Florence
Scarlett

Lily is definitely the most commonly found, and alongside Scarlett is the most likely to date imho.

Lilla and Tabitha are beautiful [smile

telsa · 24/05/2010 15:45

Each and every one is lovely. I think maybe Scarlett will date. The others are timeles. I wanted a Lila - pronounced Leee-la. But not to be!

boogywoogy · 24/05/2010 13:40

sapell3 · 24/05/2010 13:37

I like Florence and Lily best. Scarlett is OK. Not keen on Flora or Lila, and dislike Tabitha.

JumeirahJane · 24/05/2010 12:40

Love them all - bookmarking your list for future (at least two years) reference, in the hope they won't have dated by then either.

Tabitha
Florence
Flora
Lily
Lila
(not keen on Scarlett)

Hedwig3 · 24/05/2010 12:30

A lovely list.

I think Tabitha would be my favourite.

mathanxiety · 20/05/2010 16:07

1 -- Tabitha
2 Lila (Lilla) If you can find another way to spell this that make the Lilla pronunciation obvious then I like this.

3 --Flora, Florence, Lily

  • -- Scarlett (I think this name has absolutely nothing to recommend it)
minipie · 20/05/2010 14:53

Tabitha, Lily and Scarlet I like equally

(not Scarlett, looks like you're copying Johanssen)

Not keen on Flora/Florence

Lilla sounds like a made up name/nickname to me.

Pasiphae · 20/05/2010 14:46

Love Lily. Very popular choice at the moment, but it's just so perfect!

BibiFashion · 20/05/2010 13:57
  1. Lily
  2. Lilla

swanandduck · 20/05/2010 13:25

I like Flora. Tabitha's nice but a bit frilly. Florence is okay. Lily is a bit over used. I don't like Scarlett or Lila.

OrmRenewed · 20/05/2010 12:26

I like all except Scarlett and Lila.

EleanorD · 20/05/2010 12:26

There's the obvious margarine hurdle but once one is over that I think it's gorgeous!

Rubena · 20/05/2010 11:47

I like Lily
Flora sounds like margarine

EleanorD · 20/05/2010 11:44

Flora
Tabitha
Lila (pronounced LIL-A)
Scarlett
Florence
Lily
