Juno. LOVE it.

Pochemuchka · 15/09/2012 22:29

Beatrix.

The other two aren't to my taste.

FairyPenguin · 15/09/2012 22:31

I personally only really like Beatrix out of those, but each to their own. Smile

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 15/09/2012 22:33

Beatrix.

squoosh · 15/09/2012 22:37

Juno.

Agatha makes me think of someone being aghast, their mouth hanging open.

Don't like Beatrix.

HoopDePoop · 15/09/2012 22:39

Agatha is a really, really ugly name IMHO, sorry!

I like Beatrix and nn Bea or Trix, but Juno is just a lovely, strong, unusual name - please use that!

scandy · 15/09/2012 23:33

Juno is amazing.

TudorJess · 15/09/2012 23:37

I don't really like any of them. Beatrix too dominatrixy (Beatrice lovely though), Agatha rather harsh, and Juno, while a real name, to me sounds like a nickname for June. Of the three I'd pick Juno.

marshmallowpies · 15/09/2012 23:39

Love Beatrix/ce and Juno is pretty cool too. Agatha = no.

Flojo1979 · 15/09/2012 23:40

Beatrix is lovely.

Juno, I think of a bloke not a lil girl.

OscarPistoriusGirlfriend · 15/09/2012 23:41

Agatha because nn Taggie.

Juno also a good choice.

MadBusLady · 15/09/2012 23:45

Beatrix.

CharlieCoCo · 15/09/2012 23:51

Agatha nn aggy or Juno i like. Though i kind of like Juniper and juno as a nn.

AgnesBligg · 15/09/2012 23:53

Love Beatrix and Juno is wonderful.

Have you considered the gorgeous name Agnes?

Badgerina · 16/09/2012 00:11

Not keen on Beatrix, BeatriCE is waaaaay nicer.

Not keen on Agatha, but do you like Agnes? Nn could be Aggy or Ness.

Juno is great Smile

manicinsomniac · 16/09/2012 00:22

I like Juno

Don't like Beatrix. Beatrice is ok

And, I'm sorry, but Agatha is one of only two names I really would say that I hate. So ugly sounding.

squoosh · 16/09/2012 00:28

What's the other name you hate??

mathanxiety · 16/09/2012 05:55

I love them all - in order: Agatha, Beatrix, Juno.

armedtotheteeth · 16/09/2012 06:34

I love Juno - seems to be getting more popular if threads on here are anything to go by.

PeahenTailFeathers · 16/09/2012 06:42

All three - they're all lovely

LemonLovesLilac · 16/09/2012 13:00

Thanks for the comments so far, gives me plenty to consider! I think Agatha is a bit of a marmite name, so I understand why people either really like it or hate it....I think it would be cute on a little girl!
As regards to Juno I have heard people in previous threads saying that it sounds like a mans name....why is this, I always perceived it as being a very feminine pretty name?! Beatrix is probably my fave but it changes by the day...I love the x a lot more than the Beatrice spelling!

I absolutly love them all!
Beatrix is the 'safest' of the 3 I think.
Not sure I'd be brave enough to use agatha but I think it's great! Love aggie as a nn!
Juno is very cool.. Don't think I could pull it off!!

TudorJess · 16/09/2012 13:28

As regards to Juno I have heard people in previous threads saying that it sounds like a mans name....why is this

I think Juno is similar to Milo, Arlo etc. which might make it sound as if it could be a boys' name. Often if the boys name ends in an "o" the girls equivalent ends in "a", such as Carlo/Carla, Claudio/Claudia, Emilio/Emillia.

YesIKnowILookHugeThanks · 16/09/2012 16:57

I like Agatha best of the three followed by Beatrix and Juno. Quite like all of them really.

SlightlySuperiorPeasant · 16/09/2012 18:20

Definitely not Agatha.

Beatrix is nice, although I prefer Beatrice.

I love Juno but only if you and your DH are tall!
