My favourite girl names -what do people think?

I have a few favourite girl names (due in June), interested in what others think? I won't be offended :) My top name is Audrey, probably Audrey Clothilde (Clothilde is my mum's middle name). Other top choices are Ida, Violet and Imogen. I like the nicknames Millie and Tillie (also Minnie) but can't think of any good names to go with them!

I know a Tillie, short for Natalie.

Love Audrey, Violet and Imogen. Not keen on the others.

What about Wilhelmina for Minnie? Matilda for Tilly, Emilia for Milly?

I like all your names to be honest, especially Audrey.

Love Violet. It's on my list too.

Also like Iris and Ivy as suggested by a previous poster

Ida and Clothilde are much the nicest. I would go with Ida Clothilde. Audrey always reminds me of that dreary, hatchet-faced chain-smoker on Coronation Street aeons back.

I think Violet lends itself to being pronounced as 'Vile - it', which spoils it, and Millie and Tillie are just overused. In these parts, anyway, they're nearly as insanely numerous as the Izzies.

Violet was my mums name so is a favourite for us, altho also like a Hera (goddess of the heavens and starry skies), and as my mum has passed away if we have a girl we will possibly have Hera Violet or Violet Hera.

Audrey, Violet and Clothilde are all beautiful.
Imogen is okay.
Not so keen on the others.
Audrey Clothilde is a lovely combination, or have Clothilde as the first name with something else completely for the middle name.

Audrey is nice. Love Violet.
