PinkAvocado · 25/03/2018 02:13

I like Meredith but honestly that is it!

Marv1nGay3 · 25/03/2018 02:16

I love Ursula

Anxiouschild · 25/03/2018 02:18

I like Marguerite and Lilith from that list.

Anxiouschild · 25/03/2018 02:18

Definitely not Maris Potatohead Surname...

Minus1 · 25/03/2018 02:19

Only like Meredith

YerAuntFanny · 25/03/2018 02:22

Maris - Potato
Tristana - Game of thrones character?
Meredith - Meh
Morgana - Morgan maybe?
Carmen - I like this
Marguerite - if you have Spanish roots maybe
Daisy - Usable
Gwendolyn - Gwen is slightly better
Drusilla - Now you're just making up words
Ursula - Meh
Kendra - Atleast it sounds like a name!
Psyche - WTF did this kid ever do to you?
Lilith - Ice Queen of Frasier but usable.

I think Carmen is the only one I personally would use.

Arapaima · 25/03/2018 02:24

I like Ursula but please call her Psyche (wtaf)

NameChangedForThisQ · 25/03/2018 02:38

Psyche is from Greek mythology by the way. She was so beautiful Aphrodite hated her. Grin And yes, I know its too weird to use. Sighhh...

I really like Lilith, it has a lovely sound, it's like Lily or Lilian but far more unusual and with more oomph. Quite a brave choice though, have you looked up the mythological associations? I'd say go for it, Lilith, if she'd existed, was a feminist icon!

Also really like Daisy, and Meredith is also nice, as is Maris.

Maris and Lilith, are you a big Frasier fan?

HuskyMcClusky · 25/03/2018 05:18

I like Carmen, Daisy and Lilith.

Hate the rest, sorry.

BikeRunSki · 25/03/2018 05:28

Maris - Frazier
Lilith - Frazier, and do you know the mythology behind this name?
Drusilla - Zoo
Kendra, Meredith - not bad
Ursula - is a name, but not a particularly attractive one
Morgana, Tristana - Convoluted. Morgan is a perfectly OK name used for boys and girls, why complicate it?
Carmen- old lady name
Marguerite - ok
Daisy - presumably Nn for Daisy?
Gwendoline - if you really want
Psyche - you’ll have an awful lot of explaining to do.

ChocolateCrunch · 25/03/2018 06:34

Morgana, Gwen (but not Gwendoline), Marissa (not Maris, sounds like a potato) or Daisy.

SuperBeagle · 25/03/2018 07:13

Meredith is okay.

I like Daisy, but don't like Marguerite, and think Daisy as a shortening is too contrived in 2018.

Lilith is nice, but I wouldn't be willing to burden a child with a name that has widespread negative connotations.

The rest are pretty dire.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 25/03/2018 07:34

I love Carmen.

MaryPoppinsStoleMyHandbag · 25/03/2018 07:43

I love Meredith. Not keen on any of the others.

greatbigwho · 25/03/2018 07:56

If you like Maris, how about Marin?

GingerFoxx · 25/03/2018 07:58

Confused not my cup of tea of names.

I would use Daisy.

And I agree Psyche is a bit too out there but equally I kind of love it Grin. Much prefer to the others on your list (which are a bit old ladyishGrin)

Awrite · 25/03/2018 08:01

Maris and Lilith remind me of Frasier. Hadn't heard of Maris before then.

I like Carmen.

Ursula is ok but don't think a kid would like it.

No to the rest.

pilates · 25/03/2018 08:03

Gwendolyn, Gwen and Daisy are the only ones I like, the rest are awful
Sorry

MadMaryBoddington · 25/03/2018 08:45

Love Marguerite. So elegant. I also have a soft spot for Gwendoline.

AnyaMoondial · 25/03/2018 09:01

Ursula is fab.

ErrantBakedBean · 25/03/2018 09:08

I love your list. Personally wouldn't use Ursula as I don't like the Urgh sound but it's great to see some more unusual, characterful names. I'm with you on Drusilla too - fabulous. (I keep fighting for Iselda but no one is keen...)

NannyR · 25/03/2018 09:10

I really like Meredith but not keen on any of the others.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 25/03/2018 09:31

Daisy or Kendra. Don't like the others, sorry

chezmk1988 · 25/03/2018 09:37

Ursula is on my list but not many people seem to like it. Who cares? Meredith is nice too
