I'm interested in knowing what people's favourites are from my list of girls names for dd2. I'm struggling to decide! Not due for another 14 weeks so plenty of time but we had dd1's name sorted by now so I'm not used to the wait and see what she looks like method!

I'd pick Alice, such a cute name. Martha is my least favourite.

I like

Juliet and Elizabeth - Classic and elegant
Alice and Florence - both pretty
Martha - is okay

I don't like Tessa, Georgia, Bethan (sounds like it should be Bethany).

Anna I find boring and old fashioned

1.Tessa - I would be scared to use this in case she was overweight and got nicknamed 'ten tonne Tessa'
2.Georgia - like this name
3.Elizabeth - meh, a little plain for me. Also hate 'Liz', very 70s IMO
4.Bethan - I like Beth but Bethan sounds quite harsh
5.Juliet - pretty and classic
6.Florence - not a fan, I probably gravitate towards very feminine names. Also sounds a little 'Victorian chambermaid' to me
7.Anna - pretty and classic
8.Alice - not a fan, don't know why
9.Martha - I like this, underused and pretty

In order of preference:

1.Juliet - lovely, classy, unusual.

  1. Elizabeth - ditto. A bit less unusual but still a nice change from the cutesy girl names which are popular atm, plenty of nickname options too.
  2. Anna - ditto
  3. Florence - quite popular but lovely and classic
  4. Martha - strong and vintagey
  5. Tessa - ditto
  6. Alice - OK but I find it a bit wishy-washy for some reason
  7. Georgia - not too keen, feel a bit boring and a bit dated now to me
  8. Bethan - not keen on this at all, I just find it quite a blunt sound. I quite like Betsan though for some reason - it's Welsh I believe.

1.Tessa - don't like it
2.Georgia - ok, prefer Georgina
3.Elizabeth - lovely. This is on my list too. Strong yet feminine, with loads of nickname potential
4.Bethan - not keen
5.Juliet - Beautiful. I know one, and a Julia, and they both love their names.
6.Florence - gorgeous, but very popular round here
7.Anna - nice but slightly boring
8.Alice - slightly boring again
9.Martha - nice and vintage, but slightly frumpy

Have you considered Eleanor? Or is that your first DD's name? I think it's the best name in the whole world, but I am biased ;o)
