All lovely - I do have a special liking for Violet - and I think Cassandra is nice - the nickname Cassie is sweet.

I like Adeline! Would you pronounce it Add-er-leen or Add-er-lein? I like the former and have seen it spelled Adelene to make sure :)

allatsea1 · 05/02/2011 17:36

Adelaide rather then Adeline?

JamieLeeCurtis · 05/02/2011 19:59

Cassandra (but prefer the nn Cassie) and Violet

Prefer Iris to Ivy

Don't like Adeline, sorry

BarbieLovesKen · 05/02/2011 20:05

Violet - beautiful
Adeline - dont like
Ivy - awful
Cassandra - awful

Would you consider Adelaide instead of Adeline - I think Adelaide is stunning.

BarbieLovesKen · 05/02/2011 20:06

Oops and just realised allatsea1 suggested that Blush

allatsea1 · 05/02/2011 20:48

Adelaide is lovely isn't it but there's no way the hub would ever allow it!!

BarbieLovesKen · 05/02/2011 21:05

Beautiful and it reminds me immediately of that beautiful place in Anne of Green Gables..

Nightstar · 05/02/2011 22:36

IN order

Ivy
Cassandra
Violet

Cassandra was cursed, but she did have the gift.....

Another vote for Violet! Also like Ivy, I have also seen it spelt Ivie, which I think is quite pretty.

ElsieR · 06/02/2011 09:58

Violet, yes. Adeline, no no no.

takethatlady · 06/02/2011 11:24

Did you say how you would pronounce Adeline?

Don't know why people are reacting against it - personally I think it's lovely - pretty, classic and unusual :)

TallulahDoesTheHula · 06/02/2011 12:17

Love Violet (would pput it on my list but doesnt go with my surname!)
Like Ivy too
But not keen on others

cowboylover · 06/02/2011 19:53

I like Violet and Adeline but not sure on the others.

QuestionNumber · 08/02/2011 00:40

Violet - like
Adeline - no
Ivy - like
Cassandra - OK, like nickname Cassie

Sarsaparilllla · 08/02/2011 12:55
