Felicity Faith{I am biased}!

MayDayChild · 29/03/2011 22:01

I have an Eliza
Everyone loves the name from old ladies on bus to all family members and also anyone foreign (bit multicultural round my way) can pronounce it too!

But I also love
Nancy
Maisie
Eleanor
Beatrice (Bea)
Flora
Lola
Isla

My name is on here. I am not remotely girly. So is DD2's (ditto).

The only Genevieve I've ever met was beautiful, kind and had the handsomest toddler I had ever met. ( I said had because my nephew in law looks just like him and DD2 has threatened to marry said cousin)

I like Amy, Amber, Annabel, Bethany, Briony, Francesca, and Ottilie is cute, but like Genevieve your going to have to be a slightly exotic grown up to carry it off. (There's a little girl at school who's nick name is Ottie and it really suites her)
Isabella is lovely, but there are hundreds Isabel's and it's variants and some of them like it shortened one way and some another. Writing merit certificates is a nightmare because they get really huffy if you mix them up

Thank you so much!
I like:
Aurelia
Betsy
Thalia/Tahlia
Eloise

So new shortlist is:
Arabella
Genevieve
Mirabelle
Annabelle
Amelie
Ophelia
Anastasia
Aurelia
Betsy
Thalia/Tahlia
Eloise

Let us know which one you choose

DorisIsAPinkDragon · 30/03/2011 20:07

Lydia (my other two dd's names have been suggested already! Grin)

kerala · 30/03/2011 21:22

To whoever said Amelie is not popular I think you are mistaken! I know heaps of Amelies so would give that a wide berth if it bothers you.

I like

Ottilie
Clementine
Tess

EllieG · 30/03/2011 21:23

My girl is called Molly Eloise. I like both of those but I am biased.

Congratulations Grin

Elsie

EllieG · 30/03/2011 21:24

Elodie is also nice (may have spelt wrong - pronounced like melody but with e)

TotallyUnheardOf · 30/03/2011 21:25

Cressida

(Throwing it out there because I love it, and you seem to like that sort of name. Got hideously mocked on here once for liking it... Seems some find it poncey or something.)

mandy1978 · 30/03/2011 21:52
