Beatrice Lily definitely.

Congratulations. Flowers

Penelope Jane as a second choice.

scatterthenuns · 03/09/2015 21:55

Hate Sybella. Sounds like a medical condition. Like everything else.

Ikeameatballs · 03/09/2015 21:55

Penelope Jane

petitdonkey · 03/09/2015 21:56

Congratulations!

My order of preference would be:

Penelope
Annabel
Sophie
Beatrice

I have never heard of Sybella and, to me, it seems vaguely made up - do feel free to correct me though!!

FoxesSitOnBoxes · 03/09/2015 21:59

All lovely apart from Sybella which is a very ugly name (in my opinion)
Congratulations!

Sophronia · 03/09/2015 22:01

I've not heard Sybella before but I do like Sibylla.

I like Sophie Elinor, Beatrice Lily or Penelope Jane.

StevieJo · 03/09/2015 22:06

Sophie Elizabeth or Beatrice Lily

Thanks for the feedback. Yes Sibella/Sybella is an unusual name, but it is a derivative of Sybil. I'm finding that not many people are liking it though!

LibrariesGaveUsP0wer · 03/09/2015 22:26

Penelope.

The Beatrice

Congratulations

LibrariesGaveUsP0wer · 03/09/2015 22:26

*then Beatrice

SmugairleRoin · 04/09/2015 00:52
  1. Sophie
2.Penelope
  1. Annabel.

Both of the others just don't have any appealing quality imo...so they'd be far down my numerical list!

Congrats Flowers

Loathe Lily and massively overused round here. Love the rest including Sibella though I would normally spell it Sybilla.

Allalonenow · 04/09/2015 01:10

I like Sybella a lot, it's pretty and it is unusual but in a good way Smile And I think it goes well with Lucy.

I wouldn't use Sophie as it is massively popular, and she could well be Sophie 'D' at school.

Though I like Annabel, I think it is too close to Isabelle, which is again very popular.

I quite like Penelope but don't like Penny at all, and think Penelope Jane is very bland, and am not keen on Beatrice.

What about Aphra or Corinna?

fairyfeatures · 04/09/2015 12:49

Beatrice absolutely

Congratulations Flowers

Squooshed · 04/09/2015 13:04

Wasn't Sybella the name of the fickle hearted flibbertigibbet in Kind Hearts and Coronets?

Even so it's my favourite from your list. The world really doesn't need another Sophie.

Squooshed · 04/09/2015 13:05

Although I've just had a thought that people might mishear it as Isabella. That could be irritating.

Gummibaers · 04/09/2015 14:02

Beatrice or Penelope!

manicinsomniac · 04/09/2015 15:25

I really like Annabel and Sophie

Beatrice and Penelope are okay

No keen on Sibella at all

CakeRattleandRoll · 05/09/2015 01:48

Penelope Jane

itfcbabe · 05/09/2015 10:21

Penelope or Beatrice are lovely.

Vixxfacee · 05/09/2015 10:22

Annabelle or Penelope
