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

[shoegal34]

I think Maggie and Dolly are my favourites...

Kristen has quite a nice sound but slightly dated and seems very American

Ah yes, she shot JR, didn't she? :o

Don't saddle them with Dolly, poor thing. Maggie but have Margaret on birth certificate.

Maggie. Though if I was Margaret I would be a Peggy...

Maggie or Alice

I love them all, but would probably not choose Alice as it has been popular again in recent years. Also Kristen - she will be forever telling people "No, it's Kristen not Kirsten!!"

Thanks for all the feedback guys. Dolly is out of the equation now :-)

Pleased about that!

Jaysus, only in the UK could the pronunciation of Renee the French way be seen as try hard!

Quite a few women my age with the name growing up.

Dolly!! My most favourite name but DH will absolutely not entertain it.

Re-nay for sure

Renee. Really like Maggie, Alice & Pearl but I've never known a baby Renee and think it would be lovely, quirky but classic.

I see Jack Osborne named his baby girl Pearl :-|

Renee has usurped Maggie in my mind.

Renee, Renee, Renee!

Me too.

Can't stop listening to the song now, such a classic. Actually I never realised the Four Tops' version was a cover.

Oh, and yes the name pronounced Ree-nee is a nn for Irene - not the same at all as Renée, which means 'reborn' and has versions in many languages eg Renate, Renata etc.

From Wiki
Singer Rod Stewart and model Rachel Hunter named their daughter born in 1992 Renée because "Walk Away Renée" is one of Stewart's favorite songs.
Singer Gwen Stefani's middle name is Renée and was given to her as a result of The Four Tops' cover of this song.

And it's still uncommon. What's not to like :)

Oh I didn't know the Four Tops version was a cover either.

Great tune. It's good to have a cool song associated with your name just not one that is a bit too ingrained in the public psyche. Life must be a pain for Delilahs.

Sara Cox has one.

I have a Maggie (no long version), it's an awesome name

Maggie (but with full name Margaret yes?) is by far the best. Dolly is in no way suitable for a grown woman. Alice is ok. Pearl is a bit try-hard although I do like it.
