Wow, this is a rich seam of data! Didn't design the experiment v well though, there should have been an internal control. Please can you also score Helena. I realise it's not great that I've told you which one is the control Blush

I like Helena a lot but it has at least three pronunciations I can think of so keep in mind that she might find that a little annoying. I think Leni is a super cool nickname though.

I'm picturing you in a lab coat collating all the data!

Helena - 5/10

ImperialBlether · 16/04/2015 10:55

Frieda - can't give a mark low enough for this one
Claudia - 7/10
Tabitha - 0/10 - sounds like a cat
Rosalind - 7/10 - 10/10 if you call her Rosie
Meredith - 0/10 makes me think of poor Meredith Kercher
Elizabeth - 0/10 - old fashioned and not in a good way
Thea - 0/10 - sorry, awful
Phoebe - 3/10
Martha - 0/10 - awful, sorry!
Helena - 7/10

Are you particularly looking at the more old fashioned names? Do you want suggestions?

redautumnleaves · 16/04/2015 10:55

Gosh - I may be skewing your data with regards to Frieda. It is my favourite name on your list. Love it.

Helena - 0/10 mainly because I dont like how some say HELena and some say heLAYna. Also my DM is Welsh and does not do Hs well.

Redautumn leaves - hence the Helena weighting, not everyone has an equal chance to skew!

squoosh It's the English pronunciation Heh-le-nah

This is fun! I feel a big spreadsheet coming on (tonight when I'm not looking at one of the big spreadsheets I actually get paid for looking at)

TremoloGreen · 16/04/2015 11:01

ImperialBlether We are looking for classical, timeless names that go with our very English surname. If you come up with something I haven't already discarded that would be amazing!
