I quite like all of them apart from Penelope, which is dreadful to my ear. Hmm, in order I'd go for:

Cordelia
Tabitha
Clementine
Beatrix
Juno

Penelope

SnowProbs · 11/12/2012 20:58

I like Penelope, Beatrix and Cordelia.

For me, Clemetine is pretty but just too 'orange'....and Juno is pretentious.

PuppyMonkey · 11/12/2012 20:58

Like cordelia and tabitha

UnnamedFemaleProtagonist · 11/12/2012 20:58

I like all of them.

UnnamedFemaleProtagonist · 11/12/2012 20:59

Why did my not work?

UnnamedFemaleProtagonist · 11/12/2012 20:59

Wtf??? Hmm

banterbus · 11/12/2012 21:00

Beatrix is my fave nn Bea Smile

RayanneGraff · 11/12/2012 22:24

Cordelia - love - seriously considered for DD but was put off by lack of obvious nickname - maybe Cora/Cori?
Clementine - lovely - could be Clem or Minty
Juno - but faddy for me, makes me think of the tim
Beatrix - good but prefer Beatrice myself
Tabitha - not so keen
Penelope - love

RayanneGraff · 11/12/2012 22:25

bit faddy

RayanneGraff · 11/12/2012 22:25

oh no.

makes me think of the film

I'm off to bed

birdofthenorth · 11/12/2012 22:31

Love Tabitha, like Juno, the rest re nice but a bit girly/frilly for my taste (although I would also put Tabitha into that category, so my tastes are a bit inconsistent, sorry!)

TheCraicDealer · 11/12/2012 22:37

Penelope- Love, how cute would a wee Penny running about be?
Cordelia- Love, especially if you shorten to Cora....or Delia, but she may have people asking her how to boil eggs.
Tabitha- Really don't like. Makes me think of cats in clothes.
Beatrix- Meh. Just meh.
Juno- Oh No. She would go through life with people going, "oh, LIKE THE FILM?"

FriggFRIGG · 11/12/2012 22:39

Love them all.
Great choices!

WonkyWilly · 12/12/2012 10:35

Thanks for the comments so far.....yeah it is quite difficult to choose!

Love all of them except for Tabitha

GoldPlatedNineDoors · 12/12/2012 10:41

Like Tabitha and Beatrix and quite like Juno. Dont like the rest.

Startail · 12/12/2012 10:41

I like them all except Juno
and Tabitha which is a name for a tabby cat, not a child.

GoldPlatedNineDoors · 12/12/2012 10:41

Would go for Beatrice though as Beatrix makes.me think "Beer Tricks"

Startail · 12/12/2012 10:44

Juno is queen of the Roman Gods and married to her brother.

Generally, there is a dodgy aspect to all Greek and Roman Gods.

They are probably best avoided.

bigbluebump · 12/12/2012 10:56

Love them all, especially Cordelia, Beatrix and Clementine. Juno is my least favourite.

WonkyWilly · 12/12/2012 16:35

Cordelia, Beatrix and Penelope ane good.

Juno is a film, Tabitha is a cat or a toddler witch and Clementine is a small orange.

LondonElfInFestiveCheerBoots · 12/12/2012 17:34

Love most of them but hate Clementine, can't stand it, and Cordelia isn't a favourite.

The rest are all on my list, in this order:
Beatrix (nn Trixie), Penelope (nn Nell), Juno, Tabitha (Tabs/Kitty (but that one is cos I'm odd))

I like the Greek and Roman god's names (mainly, could probably leave Uranus), gives them a head start on family weirdness Grin

MadSleighLady · 12/12/2012 17:41

Cordelia & Beatrix/ce are my joint favourites. Clementine is pretty but I would go for Clemence/Clemency/Clementia for orange-related reasons. Wouldn't use Tabitha (cat), Penelope (don't like Penny) or Juno (sounds like a boy, which I know is totally irrational because it clearly isn't, I think it reminds me of Bruno, Inigo, Pluto etc.)

WonkyWilly · 12/12/2012 19:16

Londonelfinfestivecheerboots I like your idea of Kitty as a nn for Tabitha....tbh the cat thing sorta makes me like Tabitha even more....can I jump on the odd train Wink
