Guys, you don't get counted in the final results unless you also rate Helena out of 10. Sorry.

Scoring them anyway, just for fun.

Frieda- 2/10 Despite the spelling, it's still Freda and is an old lady name too far for me.

Claudia- 10/10 Love it
Tabitha- 0/10 Cat's name. Hate it.
Rosalind- 7/10
Meredith 9/10- love it
Elizabeth 10/10 - my middle name, and dd1's. Very classic, and underused as as a first name, imo.

Thea- 5/10 bit try hard.
Phoebe- 2/10 really don't like it.
Helena- pronounced Helayna 8/10, Hel-enna 6/10

Love the bar charts!

Frieda -2

Helena 8/10

Izzy24 · 16/04/2015 17:24

How would you pronounce Meredith?

MeREDith is best!

KateBeckett · 16/04/2015 17:55

Oh man did mine not get counted then?! I issued the Helena thing.

Frieda 1/10
Claudia 8/10
Tabitha 2/10 ( I know a cat called Tabitha)
Rosalind 9/10
Meredith 7/10
Elizabeth 7/10
Thea 6/10
Phoebe 2/10 (know its immensely popular,but I just don't like it)
Martha 7/10

I also think Helena is nicer than any of these. And just met a newborn Caroline, which is a lovely traditional name.

dustdragon · 16/04/2015 18:06

forgot to score Helena 10/10

TremoloGreen · 16/04/2015 18:40

Kate, once, you have a Helena score, you will automatically get counted in the graph, because I already inputted your other data - however it is all weighted to 0 at the moment but will all automatically update.

DD1 is called Helena. Now I know DH and I both love that name... so I've weighted you all according to how close to 10 you rate Helena, so I'm giving more credence to people who like the type of names I like generally and using this as a crude measure. I'm also weighting each 'public opinion' (ignoring mn selection bias obv) at 1/10 of my and DH's scores. Cos, yknow, it's our baby. Grin

EnriqueTheRingBearingLizard · 16/04/2015 19:02

I just skim read again and concluded that the people who scored Helena highest also favoured Elizabeth.

So, that's that then Grin

*data
me and iliveinalighthouse agreed and saffron very nearly agreed and then I got tired Blush

Am I too late to score Helena? It's a 7/10 for me.

I am slightly in awe of your data analysis skills!

GoldfishSpy · 16/04/2015 19:07

I am loving your approach.

Best baby name thread ever. :)

VerbenaGirl · 16/04/2015 19:18

FoamyOne · 16/04/2015 19:35

Do I get extra weighting for having a Helena? You have one of her sibling's names on your list, and she was nearly Rosalind.
