[LetsSplashMummy]

10 - Bethan
9 - Genevieve (love nn Ginny)
8 - Beatrice
7 - Zoe
6 - Penelope
5 - Niamh
4 - Annabelle (would have been higher if spelt Annabel)
3 - Autumn
2 - Constance (only if known as Connie, which is nice)
1 - Amelie

[TempsPerdu]

This is quite a varied list OP!

Immediately scrapping:
Caoimhe
Constance
Amelie
Nevaeh
Orlaith
Niamh
Precious
Raven
Roxanne
Tegan

Which leaves (in order of preference)
10 - Genevieve - love, but like the Italian version Ginevra even more!
9 - Beatrice - pretty
8 - Hermione - nice, if a bit Harry Potter!
7 - Adelaide - strong-sounding, and Addy makes a cute nickname
6 - Zoe - biased as it's my name, but it's served me well!
5 - Bethan - fine
4 - Annabelle - fine, but I find this spelling too frilly - prefer Annabel
3 - Penelope - OK
2 - Carmen - OK
1 - Autumn - a bit faddy and American-sounding

[CourtJester]

10 - Autumn (favourite!)
9 - Beth/Bethany/Elizabeth (not so much Bethan)
8 - Zoe (prefer the Zoey spelling)
7 - Genevieve (love the nn Genny)
6 - Adelaide (love the nn Addie)
5 - Amelie (Prefer Emilie/Emily)
4 - Beatrice (Prefer Beatrix)
3 - Niamh
2 - Annabelle
1 - Hermione

[Crunchymum]

Love the fact one poster said Beatrice is too common and the very next poster said it was too posh I really dislike it personally but for neither aforementioned reason

I'm not massively keen on any of the names but Annabelle would be my top. Autumn depends on when she is born. Amelie seems to be the name here at the moment.

Not a fan of much else at all... sorry.

[DoYouRememberJustinBobby]

Also re Caoimhe, are you in Ireland? I think the other Irish names go down ok in the UK as many people are familiar with them now but believe me if you're Irish and used to the more usual (non Keeva) pronunciation then mis-pronunciation for life might drive you up the wall.

[DoYouRememberJustinBobby]

AMELIE
ANNABELLE (Annabel)
BEATRICE
CAOIMHE (Only if pronounced correctly)
CONSTANCE
GENEVIEVE
NIAMH
ORLAITH
PENELOPE
ZOE

Hate most of the others, sorry!

[HearTheThunderRoar]

10. Annabelle
    

1. Autumn
   
2. Genevieve
   
3. Caoimhe (although you may get get some pronunciation issues if your not in Ireland)
   
4. Zoe
   
5. Niamh
   
6. Bethan
   
7. Amelie
   
8. Penelope
   
9. Adelaide (although it makes me think of the city in Australia)
   

These are terrible names OP, I'm sorry
Roxanne - very 80s,
Precious - its an adjective
Raven - reminds of Thats So Raven, the Disney sitcom from the mid 2000s which my DD was addicted to...

The others are ok, just not to my taste.

[EverySongbirdSays]

ADELAIDE
AMELIE 10 a penny
ANNABELLE doll from the horror film
AUTUMN common
BEATRICE
BETHAN 10 a penny
CAOIMHE
CARMEN
CONSTANCE
GENEVIEVE
HERMIONE
--NEVAEH- the current name of choice of Jeremy Kyle mothers
NIAMH
ORLAITH
PENELOPE
PRECIOUS stripper
RAVEN stripper
ROXANNE - as another poster said connotations of prostitution
TEGAN - no common, scally, rough
ZOE

So

Adeleide, Niamh, Orlaith, Constance, Carmen, Beatrice, Penelope, Zoe, Hermione, Genevieve, Caiomh,

Is this a combo of your top 10 and your DP/DH top 10 in which case which of you has the horrendous taste? it's him isn't it?

(Adelaide the city was named after the wife of the King who preceded Victoria btw)

[cosmicglittergirl]

Constance and Beatrice are the best.

Def not Raven. Sounds like the adopted name of an 80s goth.

[MumOfTwoMasterOfNone]

Ahhh my DDs first and second name are on this list.

10 Adelaide
9 Beatrice
8 Constance
7 Autumn
6 Amelie
5 Hermione
4 Genevieve
3 Penelope
2 Bethan
1 Annabelle


Please don't consider Neveah. I've never understand the concept of naming your child the word heaven spelt backwards. I mean I bloody love Nutella but Alletun is an atrocious name.

Precious is also awful IMO. Raven, Roxanne, Tegan and Zoe also very questionable.
