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

I have a Juliet, she's NEVER Julie! People always say what a lovely name when they hear it .

I dislike the original title 3 all equally. Louisa is lovely, though.

I really like Imogen and Juliet but definitely not if they're shortened - I hate shortened names!

Dislike Beatrice mainly because with my accent it would be pronounced Beet-riss.

Imogen. How about Eleanor? If I ever had a DD that's what she would be called.

I love Juliet.

Beatrice is v nice and Imogen good too, although not a personal favourite.

Helena, Louisa, Margot and Christabel also lovely out of the suggestions I have read.

Apologies if these have already been suggested:
Alice, Marianne, Vivienne, Susanna, Frances, Emmeline, Sylvia, Mary, Julia, Violet or Viola (you seem to like Shakespearean names).

I'm another Juliet fan but all 3 of these are lovely

Other suggestions in similar vibe...

Marianne
Saskia
Helena
Iris
Clara

It looks like I'm in the minority, but I really like Julie. Blush I think of Julie Christy in her full Doctor Zhivago loveliness. I do know a Juliet whose father calls her Julie - it's his pet name for her, which I think is pretty sweet. I also know a much older Juliet who occasionally gets Jules. I guess I'm not helping your case, though, if your husband doesn't like Julie or Jules! But I think that's a big strength of the name - if your daughter didn't want to go by Juliet for whatever reason, she has some built-in (lovely!) nicknames she could fall back on.
