Imogen, Beatrice or Juliet?

58 replies

Pinkandwhite100 · 16/04/2014 16:23

Please can you tell me which of these names you like most; Imogen, Beatrice or Juliet? Also, given that I like these names, can you think of any others I might like please?

I also like the names Felicity, Florence and Clementine but can't use these because I have nieces with those names.

Eveline is another favourite of mine but it seems to be very popular now... Should this put me off?

Thanks

Juliet! Tis a fab name!

whattoWHO · 16/04/2014 16:38

Juliet is my fave, and the one I know the fewest children with.

Mrsindecision · 16/04/2014 16:40

Juliet - lovely name!

CPtart · 16/04/2014 16:44

Juliet.

All of the suggested names are lovely, but Juliet is my favourite.

Juliet is winning by a mile! That's not what I expected, I don't know why. I LOVE the name. I just have to convince DH now!

Imogen x

traininthedistance · 17/04/2014 01:29

Also like Juliet. If you want more suggestions, you could continue with the Shakespearean theme - Helena, Rosalind, Celia, Viola, Marina, Portia, Isabella, Mariana, Hermia, Cordelia, Ophelia!

Wishfulmakeupping · 17/04/2014 02:19

Juliet is lovely

Fanjango · 17/04/2014 02:31

Juliet is nice but people will shorten it to Julie. I love Imogen though Smile

AlpacaYourThings · 17/04/2014 02:55

I really don't like Juliet, sorry.

Imogen and Beatrice are lovely, IMO.

Mrsindecision · 17/04/2014 06:45

I definitely don't agree that Juliet will be shortened to Julie - it's a completely different name with such a different "vibe". Juliet is such a beautiful and timeless classic IMO.

drLu · 17/04/2014 06:50

Imogen and Beatrice for me but I'm biased!

beela · 17/04/2014 08:48

I like Beatrice the best from your list.

How about Esme?

littlepeas · 17/04/2014 09:43

All three names are lovely - you can't go wrong.

buffythebarbieslayer · 17/04/2014 10:52

I have a Juliet, have never regretted it.

Expecting dd2 and have struggled to find a name that lives up to it to be honest!

Northernlurker · 17/04/2014 10:55

Most unusually all my dds names are on this thread Grin We have a Shakespearean theme..........

InfiniteJest · 17/04/2014 11:17

Love Juliet, and Eveline is very pretty. How about Violet or Emmeline?

BlueChampagne · 17/04/2014 13:34

Love Juliet, and the one I know never abbreviates, or allows anyone else to. Second Louisa. How about Helena?

Onyabike · 17/04/2014 13:57

I vote Juliet - it's such a beautiful name!

weatherall · 17/04/2014 17:20

Juliet- you never hear that anymore.

thatstoast · 17/04/2014 17:24

I've picked out Juliet as a name for a future daughter. Also like Cordelia and Miranda but had to rule out Cordelia as it doesn't fit with the name we gave ds1.
