I actually really like them all!

Bowlersarm · 15/06/2014 22:25

Jessica

ArtyFartyQueen · 15/06/2014 22:26

Jessica or Madeline (but Maddie is quite a popular name)

MrsBungle · 15/06/2014 22:26

Madeleine is my favourite name but I don't like maddie.

I do like Josephine/Josie

JellyMould · 15/06/2014 22:27

Jessica

I quite like Josephine, haven't heard that for a while. The other two I've heard a bit more.

Jessica, a beautiful name Smile

Jessica

Josephine/Josie is lovely and classic.

Jessica sounds a little bit dated as it was so popular in the 80s/90s, and Madeleine is pretty but makes me think of McCann and cakes.

puckingfixies · 15/06/2014 22:34

Jessica

Nereida · 15/06/2014 22:37

Definitely Josephine! The other two are a bit overdone. I like Josie as a nickname.

bakingtins · 15/06/2014 22:38

Josephine.

Kerryp · 15/06/2014 22:41

I think I'm leaning towards Jessica with Madeleine being a close second x

BlueStarsAtNight · 15/06/2014 22:43

Jessica (tho popularity does slightly put me off ), then Josephine, then Madeleine.

I do really like them all though!

losingmybelt · 15/06/2014 22:45

I like Madeline (and Maddie). I think it's really pretty..
But unfortunately it has a sad association, so I wouldn't choose it.
Jessica is a bit overused these days, but also a pretty name.

Devora · 15/06/2014 22:45

Jessica or Josephine. I like Josie.

I don't know any little Jessicas - is it really that popular?

BikeRunSki · 15/06/2014 22:48

Josephine is one of my favourite names ever

hashtagwhatever · 15/06/2014 22:50

Not keen on Jessica. Think it is just a bit bore.

I like Josephine the most.

FreeLikeABird · 15/06/2014 22:51

Jessica love Jess for shortened too.

Josephine.

Options of Jo, Josie, Posy.

manicinsomniac · 15/06/2014 22:58

I have a 7 year old Jessica so I'm biased. I know it's supposed to be really popular (top 20 maybe?) but I only know of 5 (including dd) between the ages of 4 and 16.

I also love Madeleine and quite like Josephine.

We've had lots of people remind us of the missing Madeline. We hadn't ever thought of that previously.
