Kristen, Maggie, Renee, Dolly, Alice, Pearl. Votes?

[shoegal34]

I think Maggie and Dolly are my favourites...

I vote Maggie or Renee

Eeek, just typing 'vote Maggie' makes me feel a bit ashamed!

Maggie is by far the best.
Dolly - no way it is cruel!
Renee - no
Kristen - no
Alice - ok but boring
Pearl - no way!

In order
Maggie
Renee (so long as is Ren-nay, not Reenie)
Dolly
Alice
Like all the above

Kristen
Pearl

The order I prefer them is:

Pearl
Dolly
Maggie
Alice
Renee
Kristen.

I think they are all quite different to each other and have a different vibe. What sort of name did you want? Pearl and Dolly are old lady chic, Maggie is middle aged lady not so chic and they are a few about. Alice is a timeless classic. Renee is a bit try hard if it is pronounced in the French way. Spelled/pronounced Reenee, I think it is super cool. And erm Kristen? Well, what can I say apart from meh.

I've never heard of any pronunciation for Renee apart from the French

reh-NAY

Are there people walking around called Renee but pronouncing it ree-nee?

Poor sods!

Reenee is ace! I think it may be a nickname for Irene though. My nan had a friend called Reenee and it is a friends Mum's name.

Thanks for the votes :-D It's for my friend who's due today (here with me now). She's still struggling with girl's names and wants something short and pretty/cool.

PS lol at the vote Maggie comment squoosh

PS Yes pronounced Re-nay not Reenie :-)

Pearl, then.

I like Maggie best, then renee, then kristen.
I really don't like pearl or alice (just not my tastes). I really don't like dolly and thought of both a 'dolly bird' and a baby's toy, though you should pick whichever name you love.

I love Maggie.

Like Pearl.

Alice is sweet, but so different from your other names - much less 'edgy'.

Dislike Kristen and Renee.

Dolly is not a good name for a grown woman. Seriously. NO>

In order of prefence: Maggie (love it), Alice (pretty and classic), Kristen (quite like it), Renee (quite like it but don't like possibilities for mispronunciation), Dolly (I think it's cute, but don't like the association with plastic dolls), Pearl I think is hideous.

Do you really want to be The Mother of Pearl?

I like Alice best, then Kristen (or Kirsten ?). Dolly could be a nickname for Dorothy which would suit a grown up better. Not keen on the others.

Seems like Maggie is the front-runner so far :-)

Maggie -Dislike
Dolly - Nice on a child, but not suitable for a adult!!!
Renee - Absolutely no way!!!!!
Kristen - Absolutely no way!!!!
Alice - Really pretty - my favourite
Pearl - Nice, feminine, not to overused

dolly is a cloned sheep.

just sayin'

(alice or maggie)

Love love love Maggie, it's creeping up my list if we ever have DD2. Would it be Margaret, though, shortened to Maggie?

Renee - ok, but could possibly be mispronouced
Alice - good, solid, nice name
Kristen - alright
Dolly, Pearl - don't like them at all, sorry. Too... old-fashioned, in a sort of cutesy way.

Do you have any middle names yet?

Alice is beautiful, I think. I might prefer the 'Alys' spelling though.

Don't much like any of the others. Maybe Pearl, at a push.

I like Laura at the moment

I love Maggie, but it is my DMums name, so didnt feel right for us to use it. We went with Meg instead.

Alice was our other name we were toying with, so we have used that as a middle name.

If it weren't for my DM having the name, we would have had a Maggie.

Alice is the nicest imo.

Oh, sorry, forgot to add, I really dont like Kristen.
