I like all of them except for Hebe - in our family Hebe is grandparents' stone garden statue and isn't it the name of a plant too?

All the others are lovely! I would put Dulcie in a slightly different category of names to Clementine and Theodora though....

UpTheFRIGGinDuff · 06/08/2013 09:02

What do you mean by different category?

To me they both sound like names from a joke period drama. Sorry don't like either!

omri · 06/08/2013 09:03

Dulcie clementine - fantastic name!!

UpTheFRIGGinDuff · 06/08/2013 09:04

And yes Hebe is the Name of a plant and the Godess of youth in Greek mythology.

Individually they're nice names, but together it sounds a bit try hard. Sorry, OP.

UpTheFRIGGinDuff · 06/08/2013 09:06

S'alright,I certainly don't expect everyone to like them.
We do though Wink

Sorry frigg really am but neither.

trolleycoin · 06/08/2013 09:09

Seriously?

UpTheFRIGGinDuff · 06/08/2013 09:11

What's wrong with them then? We certainly aren't 'try hard' people,we just like these names.

DP prefers Hebe,and I prefer Dulcie.

Very very very try hard. Sorry.

sonlypuppyfat · 06/08/2013 09:15

I'm sorry they are not easy names to like

UpTheFRIGGinDuff · 06/08/2013 09:15

Bah.

We're not trying for anything except a name we both bloody like.

Well at least 2 of you like one of them Wink

Frigg, I think the combination is just too much, but they could potentially work well with simpler middle names?

Rowlers · 06/08/2013 09:18

Well choose whichever names you like! We are all just random strangers, after all.

minipie · 06/08/2013 09:18

I like Hebe and Dulcie but combined with the middle names it's a bit much.

how about with a plainer/less unusual middle name...?

minipie · 06/08/2013 09:19

bridgetsmum · 06/08/2013 09:21

Don't like any of them,
Agree it's trying too hard.

GwendolineMaryLacey · 06/08/2013 09:22

Not keen on the combinations but love Theodora.

hatsybatsy · 06/08/2013 09:23

Hebe - only know one - not for me.

Dulcie - only know one - think this is ok actually.

Personally, I'd go for a shorter simpler middle name - to give her options when she's older. Clementine and theodora are both a bit of a mouthful.

PetraBaelish · 06/08/2013 09:23

I like both Hebe and Theodora. And I don't think the combination is too 'try hard' or something (although who knows, the MNers would probably faint if they heard my DC's names; so maybe I'm not the right person to reassure you! Grin)
I'm not keen at all on Dulcie; and Clementine is ok but a bit meh.
Really don't know what's so wrong with Hebe - I love Roman/ Greek gods/goddess names.

Smartiepants79 · 06/08/2013 09:25

Agree, like ALL of them on their own.
Think Hebe is the best.
It's the combinations that don't work for me.
Just too 'much'
