Any views

(I'm still pushing for Xanthe but with not much luck with family)

[JennaLouiseO]

Not my style, but my favourite is Cordelia :)

[MaisieDotes]

Christabel

not Callista anyway.

[MrsHathaway]

Christabel (nn Kitty) was top of my list but I have all boys

I quite like Celandine in the abstract but I'm not sure how she'd wear it day to day.

[ChiefClerkDrumknott]

Cordelia, gorgeous name. But I also love Xanthe. Why do your family get a say in it?

[leoniethelioness]

Cordelia then Christabel. Not sure about the others.

[celtictoast]

Christabel. I like Celandine and Xanthe also.

Not a fan of Cordelia.

[IoraRua]

Carenza.
Cordelia is stuffy sounding imo.
Christabel isn't bad.

[CelestiaLuna]

Christabel by a mile. Sophisticated and strong but also feminine. Lots of nn options too.

Don't really like the others.

[DramaAlpaca]

Carenza or Christabel.

[dalek]

You have my DD's name in your list - we have never come across another one 9oviously not going to say what kit is as os would out myself) On a different always thought I was having a boy and loved the name Xerxes - no one else did!

[dalek]

(Obviously not going to say what it is as I would out myself) - must have been typing with my eyes shut!

[SanityClause]

Christabel was the name of Emmeline Pankhurst's daughter, who was also a suffragette.

So, that's the one I'd chose.

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Christabel - by miles.

[Sophronia]

Christabel is lovely.

[Finallyonboard]

Cordelia.

[georgetteheyersbonnet]

Christabel is lovely. I like Cordelia but all the Cordelias I've known (a few!) were shortened to Cordy - you might want to think about possible shortenings /nicknames. I like Celandine but would you pronounce it Celan-deen or Celan-dyne? People might find it hard to spell/pronounce. Not that keen on Callista (I just think of Ally McBeal being annoying....) or Carenza, despite knowing a Carenza who gets shortened to Carrie.

[ashesandfire]

Christabel over Cordelia, though I prefer Christa or Christina tbh. I like Callista. Prefer Xanthe to all of them though.
Calliope, Cassandra, Cassia?

[magpie17]

Cordelia for me, I don't like Christabel at all - it makes me thing of tinkerbell!

How about Cecilia or Clementine?

[StormyBlue]

Christabel sounds too cutesy for me. Cordelia is unusual but nice.

[IoraRua]

Actually what about Celine, OP? Very unusual these days and has a similar feel to Celandine.
