I like Eliza.

The rest, not so much. Lydia is okay I guess.

NameChange30 · 22/09/2016 14:25

Exactly what chinlo said!

RainbowDashstolemyidentity · 22/09/2016 14:27

I like Eliza and Martha (my DD's name is similar to this) IMO the others are a bit "horsey" Sorry

BadToTheBone · 22/09/2016 14:28

Eliza is lovely, Martha or Lydia at a push, no to the others!

rainbowstardrops · 22/09/2016 14:30

I like Eliza. Not so keen on the others I'm afraid.

TheLongRains · 22/09/2016 14:34

I love Tabitha, Martha and Lydia, but all of them are nice names :)

fitzbilly · 22/09/2016 14:35

I like Eliza, Lydia and Martha best. And Jemima least.

LemonBreeland · 22/09/2016 14:37

I love Jemima, Tabitha and Lydia. Have considered all three in the past for my DC.

GoNorthDarren · 22/09/2016 14:40

I really like all of them! We must have similar taste op.

Favourites are Martha and Jemima. Least favourite is Tabitha.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 22/09/2016 14:41

In this order,
Love Jemima (Jem).
Tabitha
Martha
Eliza
Don't like Lydia.

Eliza! Not mad keen on the others.

GoofyTheHero · 22/09/2016 14:47

I like them all except Martha.

panad317 · 22/09/2016 14:49

Like Martha and Lydia

TroysMammy · 22/09/2016 14:53

I don't like Martha or Eliza. I like Tabitha, Jemima and Lydia in that order.

skyyequake · 22/09/2016 15:46

Tabitha always sounds like a cats name to me (DM wanted to call me Tabitha but DF refused as he's had a cat with that name! must thank him for that one day)

My DSis is a Jemima so I'm biased towards that name Grin

I like Eliza and Lydia.

Martha is average.

butteriesplease · 22/09/2016 15:48

Jemima Puddleduck. Tabitha Twitchett. did you not read Beatrix Potter?!

I like Martha and Lydia. Lydia is a lovely name.

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 22/09/2016 17:26

I only like Eliza.

Jojo13 · 22/09/2016 20:47

I love Jemima and the only thing holding me back is I don't like Jem and I bet that would be the most used nn?!
But we do have similar tastes, I also considered Martha and Eliza. Not sure on Tabitha and Lydia is pretty.

Bountybarsyuk · 22/09/2016 20:49

I am so old, I think of Jemima from PlaySchool, I just don't think it's a pretty name.

Out of all of these, I would pick Tabitha myself.

Martha- I know one, it's not for me, tbh.

Purplebluebird · 22/09/2016 20:56

I really like Lydia, but none of the others I'm afraid!

WhiteHairReally · 22/09/2016 20:59

Jemima - rag doll, Puddleduck,
Tabitha - cat/kitten
Martha - the moaner in 'Martha and Mary' story in the Bible.
Eliza - sly
Lydia - Chlymydia

I'm really sorry, they are all actually lovely names but you did ask. I have known girls with all these names and they were all jolly pleasant people.

I don't like Alice either because it rhymes with malice, although I know it's a very nice name and once again I've known nice ones ( although not the horrid Alice at school who challenged me to a fight! But I digress....

SoftBlocks · 22/09/2016 21:04

Tabitha is the nicest, I knew a very cool one once and I never think of it as a cat's name.
Don't like the others, I'm afraid, especially Martha.

BeastofCraggyIsland · 22/09/2016 21:06

Eliza is nice, not keen on the rest, especially Jemima which I think is awful (sorry). Tabitha is a cat name and Martha is very plain. Lydia is ok.
