I think Cleo but DH (I just asked him) thinks this is a strippers name. He likes Helena.

BossWitch · 02/02/2015 14:30

Adele gets my vote!

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 02/02/2015 14:30

Helena is lovely. I like Adele too, but prefer Adela (which I love).

Sylvie is sweet but I prefer it as a mn.

SnowWhite33 · 02/02/2015 14:32

Helena! Its timeless

tammytoby · 02/02/2015 14:34

Sylvie/Sylvia and Helena

GlitzAndGigglesx · 02/02/2015 14:35

Cleo or Adele. Sylvie makes me think of an old lady or a cat

merlehaggard · 02/02/2015 14:36

I like Helena. Agree that Sylvie is a good middle name. Don't like Adele (purely on the basis it is the singer, although I do like her!) but really like Adela. Not keen Cleo.

merlehaggard · 02/02/2015 14:37

Also not keen on Genevieve.

BananaToast · 02/02/2015 14:42

Sylvie's my favourite. The others aren't really to my taste.

sydenhamhiller · 02/02/2015 14:43

Love Helena. As others have said, timeless.

hoobypickypicky · 02/02/2015 14:48

Sylvie's my preference.

Leeds2 · 02/02/2015 14:48

Helena, or Adele.

Allalonenow · 02/02/2015 14:51

I'm not keen on Cleo, I agree with your DH.

The others are all lovely!
But though I like Helena very much she might end up as Ellie/Ellen which is very popular ATM.
I really love Genevieve, but again you might get the Eve/Evie nn.
So Sylvie or Adele would be my choice.

CanToCandle · 02/02/2015 15:03

Oops didn't read it properly sylvie is lovely

Katie2489 · 02/02/2015 15:03

Helena is beautiful

Nervo · 02/02/2015 15:04

Helena for me.

IsadoraQuagmire · 02/02/2015 15:37

My mom's name is Helena, though she goes by her middle name. If I could choose one of those names to be called myself, I'd go for Genevieve - but definitely wouldn't let anyone shorten it!

LollyLondon · 02/02/2015 15:44

Helena
