I think they're all lovely - you have great taste!

I'd probably go for Louisa as the nicest of all.

Lonnie · 11/06/2011 20:36

I never cared for Philippa but the rest are beautiful

rac123 · 11/06/2011 20:40

All lovely - I adore Flora but am aware that it was used as an insult towards girls when I was at school - spreads easily.
Since that ad campaign ended forever ago I don't think it will be an issue anymore.

Harriet and Louisa go nicely together Smile

topazmcgonagall · 11/06/2011 21:37

Elizabeth is lovely, Louisa is fine, Phillippa is okay, don't like Carlotta or Flora.

Mollydoggerson · 11/06/2011 21:47

Louisa - I love it, elegant and feminine.
Elizabeth - beautiful, regal, lots of abbreviations, Liz, Lizzie, it's fun you can play around with it.
Phillippa - Pippa - pretty and girly.
Prefer Carla to Carlotta
Flora - Don't like it.

SloganLogan · 11/06/2011 22:41

Louisa or Philippa :)

manicinsomniac · 12/06/2011 11:43

Louisa - don't like it personally
Elizabeth - It's ok but a bit stuffy perhaps, especially on a tiny.
Phillippa - I like 'Pippa'
Carlotta - Love it
Flora - Very sweet, I like it.

RugbyWidow7 · 12/06/2011 19:18

Louisa - very pretty
Elizabeth - Classic with lovely abbreviations
Phillippa - Don't like it
Carlotta - really don't like it - sounds like a Car lot
Flora - Very sweet, but wouldn't use because of the previously mentioned connotations

ColonelBrandonsBiggestGroupie · 12/06/2011 19:23

Love Harriet.

Louisa - nice
Elizabeth - v nice
Flora -ok
Carlotta - don't like
Philippa - don't like

Elizabeth and Louisa are my favourites, don't like the others.

WhipMeIndiana · 12/06/2011 20:31

Flora or Carlotta all the rest are dullsville

TidyDancer · 12/06/2011 20:35

All lovely, apart from Carlotta. I don't really like the way it looks. Prefer Charlotte.

ballstoit · 12/06/2011 20:38

I like Louisa or Carlotta.
Flora - the spread is not going to disappear even if the ads change.
Elizabeth - I think is boring although it has a lot of shortenings/nicknames, which I like.
Philippa - I think will become popular because of the 'Middleton' factor. I don't like it.

I also like Charlotta.

superjobeespecs · 12/06/2011 20:43

eliza would be nice i like the sound of it with your DD1s name :)

cece · 12/06/2011 20:45

Flora spreads easily otherwise the rest are all fine.

I would choose Elizabeth from your list as it has such a good range of nn.

Hulababy · 12/06/2011 21:45

Louisa - quite nice,
Elizabeth - classic, like Beth as nn
Flora - don' like; Florence is similar and I love that
Carlotta (Lottie) - don't like; prefer Charlotte
Philippa - not keen
