Struggling with girls names. I really like Beth/Bethan but when I told friends they said it was too similar to dd who is Eliza. What do people think?

We also like Jessica so opinions on which you prefer would be great.

Thanks x

This reminds me of being at school with best friends called Lee and Will. Obviously their names are nothing alike but calling them down the corridor you realise you’re shouting Willy!

That's funny pinkflamingo

Thanks everyone, you've all given me so much to think about. I'm going to go back to my ( pretty uninspiring) baby name book and start again but Jess is starting to look increasingly appealing

Jess is also like Tess Smile

Only issue with Eliza and Jessica is it reminds me of Elizabeth and Jessica, the twins from Sweet Valley High Grin This is probably totally irrelevant to anyone who wasn’t a tween sometime between 1985 and 1995 GrinGrin

rosyp I remember sweet valley high (!) and the twins but I'd forgotten their names.Thanks for the reminder, good job I haven't kept any of the books and they're not popular any more
