LOVE Juliet! My favourite of your list by FAR, a timeless beauty - YES, YES!
Cate is lovely as well, but would prefer it spelt with a K.
Not keen on Matilda or Edith.
Olive is quite a marmite choice, but I actually quite like it (although wouldn't want to be called it myself FWIW!)
Jess is nice and also timeless.
Lilian is ok.

I like Cate (prefer Kate), Matilda and Jess...not so keen on the others Smile

K999 · 21/02/2014 20:31

Sorry, don't like any of them

tumbletumble · 21/02/2014 20:33

I like Juliet, Jess and Olive. Prefer Kate to Cate.

BethGoLightly · 21/02/2014 20:33

Matilda, Jess, Kate, Lilian in that order, sorry don't like Juliet, or Olive, Edith is ok ish but might like it in time :)

SS3J · 21/02/2014 22:58

I like Juliet best, followed by Matilda. The rest I don't personally like, though nothing actually wrong with them!

Juliet and Jess are lovely. Don't like Cate at all. The others are ok.

halecromp · 21/02/2014 23:31

Love Matilda, quite like Cate, Jess and Lilian, not keen on Edith, Olive or Juliet

DramaAlpaca · 21/02/2014 23:35

Juliet is the nicest, it's lovely.

Quite like Matilda.

Really dislike Edith & Olive.

Blondieminx · 21/02/2014 23:42

I like Juliet, Jess and Edith.

Not as keen on the others, sorry!

pixiestix · 21/02/2014 23:46

Edith is my favourite.

RonaldMcDonald · 21/02/2014 23:56

Love Olive, Lilian and Edith

NadiaWadia · 22/02/2014 00:28

Agree with some others, Juliet is lovely, the nicest.

Jess would be lovely too if something else were added on the end, like that it is only a nickname.

Jessica, Jessamy, Jessamine, or Jessie? And then call her Jess for short.

Don't really like Edith much, and Olive is horrible. Olivia is lovely, though?

squoosh · 22/02/2014 00:37

Juliet is the one I like.

NadiaWadia · 22/02/2014 00:55

Sorry maybe that was harsh. I should say that Olive doesn't appeal to me as my only associations are:

  1. small green or black thing that goes in a jar, or with pizza
  2. Olive Oyl, Popeye's girlfriend
Also I just don't think it has a nice sound.

But it seems to be becoming popular for some reason, so other people must have other associations, I suppose.

thegreatgatsby101 · 22/02/2014 08:52

I like Kate the best, but spelt like I just have.

My sister is Katie, which is deterring me from using a K.

Cate Matilda Jess dont like at all sorry

iwouldgoouttonight · 22/02/2014 11:47

I love them all (that doesn't help does it!) apart from maybe Jess but that might be because there are quite a few Jessicas around here so its quite popular.

If it had to put them in order:
Juliet
Olive
Lilian
Matilda
Cate
Edith
Jess

SilkStalkings · 22/02/2014 11:56

Like them all except Olive but that's because I'm Olivia and when I was a kid nobody could pronounce it so I got called Olive or Oliver.

lljkk · 22/02/2014 12:12

I don't like Cate or Matilda. None of the others excite me but nothing wrong with them either. Probably Lillian is my fave by small margin.
