Girls names - what do you think of these?

[Beachballfamily]

Tess
Eden
Juno
Kristen

Trying to avoid names that are too popular, or that end in an 'ie' or 'er' sound. Common surname, so want a first name that is unusual but not laughable. Would welcome your thoughts!

[Spaghettinetti]

Kristen is be becoming very popular because of Kristen. Stewart...Juno is nice as are the other names on your list! :-)

My plate the were sure that I was going to be called Charlotte, but when I appeared I didn't look like a Charlotte, so they had to think of something else pretty sharpish!

[BlackholesAndRevelations]

Juno= pregnant teenager to me! feels like tempting fate... I'd like it otherwise!

[sashh]

Juno always sounds to me like a satellite, sorry.

[bootsycollins]

I really love the name Emma too, simple, classic and beautiful.

[bootsycollins]

Juliet is beautiful and classic

[JemR234]

I know a Juliet with nn Jude

[bootsycollins]

I'm not meaning to be unkind, just giving an accurate description.

[bootsycollins]

My dd knows an Eden and she is an entitled little madam totally enabled by her mum who is convinced and has convinced Eden that she's going to be the most famous, talented, beautiful model/singer/actress/performer ever to grace the planet. It's really cringey because her mum is always uploading modelling portfolio type photos of Eden to her fb page and Eden is very plain looking.

[octopusinastringbag]

I think it does, I know an adult Eden and they are very much like that.

[diddl]

Blimey.

I thought that that came from knowing a person & how they are !

[octopusinastringbag]

entitled - kind look at me, how special I am, the world owes me a living kind of thing.

[Coupon]

Kristen is nice, and unusual.

[NotYoMomma]

Eden is my favourite name ever

also like tess

dislike the rest

[RobinVanPrissy]

I vote for Tess. Timeless and suits all ages.

Eden is a bit...Katie Price-ish, sorry.
Juno is becoming popular with the yummy mummy brigade in my area.
Not keen on Kristen at all.

[diddl]

"Eden is a bit entitled"

What does that even mean??

Entitled-a name-I've heard it all now.

I like Juno best & also prefer Kirsten to Kristen.

[JulesJules]

Juliet is lovely.

I like Jules as well

Not Kristen - Twilight
Not Tess - Strictly
Don't like Eden, sorry

Love Juno

[lottiegarbanzo]

Kristen does sound like an American made up name. Like Krista and Krystal.

Tess is lovely but usually a nn.

Juliet is lovely.

The others not my taste but nice names.

[octopusinastringbag]

Tess is lovely, Eden is a bit entitled and a bit chavvy IMO, sorry. Juno is great for a boy but not for a girl, Kristen is nice enough but I prefer Tess.

[BlackholesAndRevelations]

Isn't the twilight actress called kristen? Also wouldn't use it if a friend already had, though. Unless it's someone you rarely see who wouldn't mind?

How about Edith instead of Eden? My mind is totally not made up on this- can't decide if Edith is beautiful or hideous! I love Edie as a nickname though.

Tess- bit tragic- Tess of the D'Urbervilles

[NadiaWadia]

I like Eden and think of it as a girls name. Tess is lovely, but I think it should be short for Teresa or Tessa.

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

But wouldn't use Kristen if my friend had already used it, tbh - a bit unimaginative and cheeky imho.

Juliet is nice but could well become Jules, especially once she's at school.

[Clargo55]

Imo I would push for the Nn Etta if you wanted one. However I think Julie wild be the most common.

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Like Tess and Kristen.

[Clargo55]

I love Juliet. People will come up with nicknames whatever name you pick. I would just stand firm and always refer to her as Juliet

[Beachballfamily]

Thanks everyone. I do mean Kristen, not Kirsten - a friend has a DD called Kristen and I've always liked it. No idea Eden was popular/chavvy. Would like to avoid names that end in an 'a' sound if possible, because of the surname - which rules out lots of nice ones.

What about Juliet? Would she end up being called Jules (which I hate)?
