That quote didn't highlight for some reason. I obviously don't know how to use mn properly too 🤦🏻‍♀️

Fluffypurpleslipper · 25/03/2018 17:10

Lilith or Ursula.

Was your list originally the romantic girls’ names?

LoveInTokyo · 25/03/2018 18:08

Carmen is nice but a bit weird if you don’t have Spanish roots. Ditto French for Marguerite. Meredith is quite nice. Not keen on the others, sorry. (Do you know what Lilith means?)

I thought that Lilith killed the newborn babies of other women, because she was so angry at being punished by God (and I think that involved the deaths of her own babies). A friend of mine liked Lilith but changed it to Lilla after finding this out.

I mean, Psyche would be an interesting talking point when she goes for therapy...

DD (4) has a friend called Lilith and I've always thought it was lovely. She's a cool kid and it suits her.

WhitneyHoustonsbathtub · 25/03/2018 19:11

Are you serious?

madeyemoodysmum · 25/03/2018 19:12

Gwendolyn. Is the only one I like

MakeMineAStrongOne · 25/03/2018 19:14

I quite like Gwendolyn- Gwen? How about Margot instead of Marguerite, bit more manageable and cool? Not keen on others really....

MakeMineAStrongOne · 25/03/2018 19:15

The Frasier associations with both Lilith and Frasier are too awful for me btw! How about Daphne? Ros? At least they were a laugh! Wink

MakeMineAStrongOne · 25/03/2018 19:16

Doh. I meant Lilith and Maris, obviously

Smoliver · 25/03/2018 19:37

From you list, I like Meredith, Morgana and Gwendolyn the most.

Maris Piper potato
Lilith sounds like a lisp
Kendra sounds like its copied from Sandra
Daisy is ok
Don't like the rest.

Joeybee · 25/03/2018 23:06

Maris - Sounds like a make of car.
Tristana - Ugh, no.
Meredith - Lovely name, not too popular. Merry/Edit potential nn.s.
Morgana - Too 90's
Carmen - plain
Marguerite Daisy - LOVE it. Classic but different at the same time.
Gwendolyn - Nice, cute, Gwen is good nn.
Drusilla -Like Ursula but worse.
Ursula - Ugly.
Kendra - Too made-up and common sounding.
Psyche NO...not even as a middle name, it's just awful.
Lilith - Boring, plain, meh.

ReversingSnail · 25/03/2018 23:32

Maris -potato, how about Marin?
Tristana - like
Meredith - OK but a bit frumpy
Morgana - quite like, also Merryn
Carmen - makes me think of cars and men, it's a nice sound though, also Cara
Marguerite/Daisy - like, also Greta and Marjorie
Gwendolyn onwards - don't like

Other ideas - Xandra short for Alexandra, Elspeth, Morwenna, Rowan, Alys

Drusilla reminds me of The Carpenters (though I’m sure theirs is spelt ‘Druscilla’), so I think it would make me smile if I heard it across the playground. Smile
