Really?
:o

Faverolles · 20/01/2012 12:46

I think I like Bertha best.

Ohnanawhatsmynickname · 20/01/2012 12:47

Well I like Grace Grin

RillaBlythe · 20/01/2012 12:52

Shirley. I actually really like Shirley.

evamummy · 20/01/2012 12:58

I like Paula and Shirley best.

evamummy · 20/01/2012 12:58

I also like Paulina.

TheGrandOldDuke · 20/01/2012 12:59

Shirley Grace is cute. I think Shirley is going to have a revival. Isn't it Anne Shirley in Anne of Green Gables? Love that!

LouMacca · 20/01/2012 13:12

From your list Paula Grace. Don't like any of the others.

Purplehonesty · 20/01/2012 13:13

Bertha is lovely or why not simply grace? Thats is very nice.

pinkteddy · 20/01/2012 13:15

Another vote for Grace.

BeattieBow · 20/01/2012 13:16

I quite like Gertie actually. Gertrude Grace.

rocket74 · 20/01/2012 13:26

Bertha sounds like a 'fat' name. If you have even any tendency in your family to being overweight please dont call your daughter this!! ( I am overweight btw so not being judgemental just protective over teasing in the future!)

I like Gertrude - but none of the others. They all sound like my mums mates.
Sorry.

I used to like the kids tv show Bertha, but now the theme is in my head.

Mrswhiteinthekitchen · 20/01/2012 13:30

Shirley Grace is lovely!

tummytickler · 20/01/2012 13:42

Shirley is on my list - fabulous name! Gertrude is wonderful too. As is Gwen.
Any of those!

tummytickler · 20/01/2012 13:42

But with mn Grace, Gwendolyn Grace with nn Gwen would be better.

JestersHat · 20/01/2012 13:59

Shirley, then Paula.

FriggFRIGG · 20/01/2012 14:26

Gwen.

saturdayescape · 20/01/2012 14:28

Why don't you use Grace as a first name the rest are vile. Confused

PandaNot · 20/01/2012 14:31

Gwen

HettyKett · 20/01/2012 14:33

Gwen

So, Gwendolyn Grace nn Gwen. Gwen Grace just doesn't work for me.

shouldnotbehere · 20/01/2012 14:48

Gwen is a fabulous name.

Please call her Gwen, please don't inlfict any of the other names on your child. They are vile.

rockinhippy · 20/01/2012 15:03

Agree with Gwen -

the long version of Gwendoline to go with Grace though - its my American friends DDs name & she now goes by Gwenny - its sweet, really suits her & is WAY better than the others on your list Wink

Elwisty · 20/01/2012 15:08

Shirley - really? Fan of Airplane?

Grace is the best/only pick really... Maybe Gwen is ok...

Elwisty · 20/01/2012 15:09

Bertha and Gerty are two we joke about - you can't give a 21st century child that name... this is a joke right?
