Here are my current favourites, what do you reckon to...

Cecily
Coraline
Evanthe
Dulcie
Aurora

I am gonna look so nutty now but here goes... I keep dreaming my baby is called Catherine. As you can see it's not my usual style at all. Besides I would spell it Katherine but in the dream it's written with a C. Am I just being weird or should I be taking it as some sort of sign?

Cecily is the nicest. I dreamt my little one was called Clementine... DH wouldnt allow it so it's her middle name instead.

I like coraline. I dreamt mine was called Anthony but she turned out a dd!

LOVE Coraline and Aurora

Aurora Catherine is lovely.

The others are very nice too.

Cecily is the only one I'd go for. If you want a Katherine with a C have that.
I dreamed my baby boy was called Duncan. She isn't.

Of those on your list, definitely Cecily. But I do love Catherine - vastly underrated, and Kate is a gorgeous name (although I think I prefer the K spelling, too).

Cecily - not keen, but like Cecilia
Coraline - like, also Coralie
Evanthe - not keen
Dulcie - not keen
Aurora - lovely

I love Cecily and Aurora, and like Dulcie. Coraline is OK. I'm not so keen on Evanthe - I prefer Evadne or Xanthe.

Only you can decide whether to act on your dream!

My favourite is Dulcie.......but i really like Catherine. Love the shortened versions....of Cat, Cathy, Cate and a RL friend is Reens. I havent had any dreams of names so cant help you there, it has to be you and your DP to decide that one

Hedwig3 · 15/03/2011 10:21

I like Cecily and Dulcie from your list.

Ignore C/Katherine!

Don't worry about your dream. I knew knew knew that my baby was a boy... She was a girl. The psychic stuff is just a fantasy. Go with the name you and dh love most.

Love Cecily.

Aurora reminds me of part of a nipple. Is it me?
