DH likes Charlotte, but is the association with the little Princess too strong?

I like Flora, Rose and Felicity best.

I don't like Fleur, Eulalie, or Mirabel at all I'm afraid

Chloris33 · 09/06/2017 14:34

Yep, 1/2 Dutch so hence Anouk. I think I agree with the concensus on Eulalie not being so good- it was a bit of a whim! x

I love Charlotte & Beatrice...like Rose - not keen on the others...

Argeles · 09/06/2017 14:46

Rose, Anouk, Mirabel and Eulalie are gorgeous names.

Rockaby · 09/06/2017 14:55

Best - Margot
Worst - Eulalie

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 09/06/2017 15:13

Most- Felicity, Rosa. Mirabel.
Least Lillian, Fleur, Flora

17caterpillars1mouse · 09/06/2017 15:14

Fleur - pretty. I've only ever met one and she was early 30s
Lillian - I like Lillian but am so bored of Lily which it would inevitably get shortened too
Flora - pretty but I know 3 under 1s so it seems to be gaining in popularity quickly
Rose - lovely classic
Clara - beautiful name that it mentioned alot on here but I've not met any
Margot - classy and underused
Anouk - love it
Mirabel - pretty but a bit frilly for me
Charlotte - like but their are so many around atm
Selena - another lovely name
Felicity - nice enough
Beatrice - lovely I only know 1
Eulalie - I love the look of it but not so much the sound

My favourites would be Clara, Anouk and Margot

My least favourite Lillian, Felicity and Mirabel

auntym · 09/06/2017 15:27

I like Flora, Rose and Felicity best (in that order). I don't like the last name on the list as I'm not sure how to pronounce it and I don't like Fleur, Mirabel or Selena either. Good luck with making your choice OP.

Chloris33 · 09/06/2017 15:56

Thanks to everyone so far. Seems like Clara, Felicity, Rose, Beatrice & Flora are most popular and with divided opinion on Anouk.
Her big brother's name is Gabriel, if that helps, and surname plain and monosyllabic.

Lovely list, OP. Both my DDs' names are on there!

birdspooping · 09/06/2017 16:41

On the Charlotte connection aspect, when reading your OP i thought, the little Princess, i don't know that book! So people don't necessarily instantly associate it with the real life princess Smile

AmysTiara · 09/06/2017 16:43

I really dislike Beatrice but it's a popular name on MN.

I like your other names and i think Felicity is my favourite.

Onceafortnight · 09/06/2017 16:46

Most - Rose

Least - Lilian

Never heard of - Eulalie

RiverTam · 09/06/2017 16:48

Rose

Really don't like any other the others.

I know a little Anouk, I find it a very harsh sounding and looking name.

Iris65 · 09/06/2017 16:48

I like Flora, Clara and Rose the most (in that order).
I dislike Eulalia and Anouk equally.

Anouk makes me think of eskimos - think its because of the 'Nanuk of the North' my family used to say about someone bundled up against the cold.
Eulalia reminds of ukelele or even labia Confused

PhuntSox · 09/06/2017 17:00

Margot and Beatrice! Fantastic names!

pilates · 09/06/2017 17:29

Like - Lillian

Dislike - Flora

yikesanotherbooboo · 09/06/2017 17:52

I like Clara and felicity
I don't like eulalie or anouk

IHeartDodo · 09/06/2017 18:02

Yep, 1/2 Dutch so hence Anouk. I think I agree with the concensus on Eulalie not being so good- it was a bit of a whim! x

In that case I think it's nice!
I'm half Dutch too and Beatrix is on my list.
I like that it's both Dutch (Queen Beatrix) and English (Beatrix Potter), and easy to pronounce in both. Also lots of possible nicknames.
...and I'm a call the midwife fan!
