Girls shortlist

[Mynd]

38 weeks with a little girl. Wondering what you all make of the shortlist.

Matilda
Scarlett
Wallis
Frances

Any thoughts?

Not Wallis.

Wallace, like Wallace Simpson (I think?)

Not a fan of Matilda. Not sure why.

Scarlet, I like. Sweet and not babyish.

Frances is ok. Was friends with one at school and she hated it. She only answered to Fred.

The only one I really don't like is Matilda, not sure why.
But I'm sure if I met a little one with the name I'd change my mind.
They're all of the same ilk, just go with whichever strikes you as suiting her best when she arrives.
Actually, not keen on Wallis. Would pick Matilda over that. Wally isn't a pleasant NN for anyone.

Like Frances and Matilda best from your list

And isn't it a second grade clothes shop that tries to be posh and 'hip' but comes off as frumpy and wrong? (I've worked there, the answer is yes!)

I love Matilda.

Not keen on any of the others.

I like Wallis, have never met one!

Frances is lovely. I like Matilda too but it's very popular. Not keen on Scarlett or Wallis.

I love Wallis, but it's nicer spelt Wallace. IMO.
Matilda. Dont like it, sorry
Scarlett. As above.
Frances. Is beautiful, very classy and elegant.

I have always liked Wallis, Scarlet is nice too.

Please not Wallis! I really like Matilda, such a classic name. Second choice is France's but prefer Francesca

Scarlet would be a terrible name for someone who develops rosacea in later life. I'd stay away for that reason only.

I have rosacea. I'd hate to be called Scarlet.

Well, out of those, Frances. And definitely not Wallis!

Frances is delightful

Thanks all! Helped us both quite a lot :-)

I love Scarlet! Pretty and underused, and suitable for a child or an adult

I like Matilda too, I love the NNs and think it is very sweet, but it is a bit too popular for me at the moment. I fell as if every other girl at the moment is being named Matilda, and although it's a lovely name, you child may be one of several in her class (which, from personal experience, sucks)

Not Wallis or Frances - Too old fashioned and a bit ugly in my opinion Wallis just reminds me of Wallace and Gromit and i alwasy think of Frances as a male name (i know it's spelt differently, but it's just what comes to mind) However i do quite like Francesca, shortened to Frankie.

Wallis is very East Coast, thin as a rake, preppy and imposing society grande dame. Can't imagine why I think that!

Frances is my favourite.

Don't like Wallis and do you want your child called Wally?

Frances. Hate the others, especially Scarlet. Makes me think of scarlet fever.

Wallis is a boys name.

Wallis would be called Wally so not keen but the others are great.

Scarlett is my favourite from your list...
