These are the current short list. Big brother has an Old Testament name which is relatively popular at the moment.

Thanks in advance!

I like them all, especially Thea and Esme.

IrisScentedCandle · 23/06/2013 23:04

Juliet Esme sounds good. I like Sylvie too.

NormanTheForeman · 23/06/2013 23:09

Juliet. One of my favourite names.

Elquota · 23/06/2013 23:12

Juliet, by a long way.

2kidsintow · 23/06/2013 23:12

I have a Juliette in my class. Pretty name.

And I know a nice (but slightly loopy) adult named Esme. (Reminds me of the witches in Terry Pratchett though).

Sylvie strikes me as old fashioned, but in a way that would be easy to get used to as the name of a little one.

Snazzywaitingforsummer · 23/06/2013 23:13

Juliet is lovely My second preference would be Thea.

WinkyWinkola · 23/06/2013 23:13

Thea.

So pretty.

5madthings · 23/06/2013 23:15

Love thea, esme and sylvie :)

PixelAteMyFace · 23/06/2013 23:32

Juliet. Simply pretty.

Wylye · 23/06/2013 23:51

Lovely list!
In order of preference: Esme, Sylvie, Juliet, Thea.

bugsybill · 24/06/2013 00:47

Thea and Juliet are the ones I like the best.

whyno · 24/06/2013 08:07

All gorgeous!

WhispersOfWickedness · 24/06/2013 08:15

Thea or Sylvie.

How are you pronouncing Thea by the way? I like the Scandinavian pronunciation, Taya Smile

Spanishomelette · 24/06/2013 09:30

Thanks everyone who has posted so far. It's looking like a tie between Thea and Juliet at the moment.

I would pronounce Thea as Thee-ya, haven't really considered the Taya pronunciation to be honest.

Thanks!

Juliet or Esme for me :D

Turniptwirl · 24/06/2013 21:35

Love Thea

notadoctor · 24/06/2013 21:38

I love your list! They're all beautiful names, but Esme is probably my favourite.

lastnightidreamt · 24/06/2013 21:42

I love your choice of names!

In order of preference; Thea, Juliet, Sylvie, Esme.

They are all lovely though - unhelpful!!

NowPlayingZone · 24/06/2013 22:11

Juliette.
Or sylvie

Tiredemma · 24/06/2013 22:13

Esme- (its what we are calling DD)

sleepingbeautiful · 25/06/2013 00:57

Love Juliet and Sylvie, Juliet probably wins by a whisker as it's a bit stronger.
Don't like the others.

massagegirl · 25/06/2013 04:57
