I like Verity best.

Juliet and Florence are quite nice.

Don't like Caitlyn at all. Camilla makes me think of Prince Charles.

Emmeline is fabulous. Not heard it for ages.

Like Emmeline, not keen on your other ones, sorry.

JollyGiraffe · 13/04/2018 08:20

I'm glad Emmeline is getting a pretty good reception!

I think Emmeline and Verity are the front runners at the moment.

From your suggestions, I've added Anna/Annika (Dutch surname so would sound nice!), Violet, Jemima, Adelaide.

I actually really like Honor, but would be a bit scared to use it! I'm not sure why though...

LoveInTokyo · 13/04/2018 09:32

I love all the names on your list!

Caitlin - sweet and pretty but also works for an adult
Verity - quite unusual, I like it a lot
Camilla - beautiful and classy
Emmeline - fabulous feminist connotations
Florence - very popular at the moment but deservedly so
Juliet - beautiful

Also love other people’s suggestions of Felicity, Clara, Clementine, Helena, Josephine, Alexandra, Cecilia and Anna (one of my all-time favourites).

Some more suggestions:

Annabel (not with the belle spelling)
Susanna
Margaret (with Margot, Maggie, Meg, Peggy or whatever you like as a nickname)

LoveInTokyo · 13/04/2018 09:34

Oh and Rosalind (Rosa)

Corkscrewbetty · 13/04/2018 14:58

Rosalind is lovely! And Meredith! Eleanor?

DanceDisaster · 13/04/2018 15:14

I love Juliet and Emmeline.

pilates · 13/04/2018 16:42

Emmeline, not keen on others

littlepill · 13/04/2018 16:43

I love Emmeline and Juliet!

LarkDescending · 13/04/2018 17:17

I love Florence and Juliet.

How about Saskia?

daisypond · 13/04/2018 17:27

I like all your names, but I don't think Caitlin fits with the rest, some of which have a Victorian/Edwardian vibe. I do wonder if the time for some of them is passing - eg, I know two Emmelines, but both are now in their mid-20s, so it might be somewhat dating to give it to a baby now. Similarly with Florence. I like Verity and Camilla the best, I think. Camilla is unusual now, though I do know a couple in their teens with East European origins, I think spelled Kamila.

Whyiseveryonesoangry · 13/04/2018 17:32

Emmeline and Verity.
Prefer Verity simply because I think Emmeline would be shortened to Em or Emma.

YoucancallmeVal · 13/04/2018 18:51

Camilla is lovely. Juliet is quite nice.

I have an irrational hatred for Florence, which I think is a really unattractive, frumpy old lady name.

TempsPerdu · 13/04/2018 20:22

Really like Emmeline and Juliet - both were on our list for DD. Verity is quite nice too. Not keen on Camilla or Florence, which I find quite clunky and unattractive (as well as being super popular right now).

Agree that Caitlin seems to be in a different style to your other choices.
