I like Penelope and Genevieve, although realistically they will become Penny and Genny.

Tiger Lily is too celeb copycat try hard.

ReginaPhalange89 · 04/09/2018 19:28

Tiger Lily.... Really ? 🤔 No.

Angeline is ok , Penelope and Genevieve are lovely

TroubledLichen · 04/09/2018 19:31

Tiger Lily - silly celeb baby name
Angeline - sounds like you couldn’t decide between Evangeline and Angelina so invented a yoonique mash-up
Penelope / Genevieve - both lovely but not for siblings as you can’t have Penny and Genny

RavenWings · 04/09/2018 19:34

Tiger Lily - LOL. Stupid name, even for Bob Geldof.
Angeline - ok but it does sound like a mashup of Evangeline/Angela. I like Angelica though.
Penelope - meh
Genevieve - too much name and I don't like Evie.

Loulily · 04/09/2018 19:34

Thanks everyone for your thoughts!
I get what you mean TroubledLichen but Angeline is a French form of Angela so I assure you I didn't make it up! But I take your point!

If it helps I am French (although I don’t live there) and have never heard of anyone called Angeline... obviously I don’t know everyone in France though! Apologies that I thought it was made up, Evangeline seems to be having a moment so I think that’s stuck in my mind.

Loulily · 04/09/2018 19:44

TroubledLichen No worries! I asked for opinions! Interesting you've never heard of it though! Perhaps it's an older name? It seems to have peaked in the USA in the 1910s (probably in somewhere like Louisiana) so that might explain it

Tigerlily. It's grrreat!

TatianaLarina · 04/09/2018 20:23

Tiger Lily is just embarrassing copycat celeb.

Angeline sounds better in French. Never liked Penelope.

Genevieve is pretty but I prefer Guinevere or Ginevra.

moredoll · 04/09/2018 20:29

Tiger Lily is great, one of the few celeb names I like.

SlimmingMumOf1 · 04/09/2018 20:30

I quite like the name Penelope.

Loulily · 04/09/2018 20:34

I feel privileged that the legend, the myth that is @MikeUniformMike has posted on my name thread Grin your responses never disappoint 😂

I quite like Tiger Lily out of your list if you have it like that without the -

ISeeTheLight · 04/09/2018 20:48

Angeline is definitely a French name. I have an aunt with that name.
Tiger Lily is ridiculous. can you imagine having that name as an adult.
Genevieve and Penelope are a bit try-hard for my liking. But miles better than Tiger Lily; they're actual names.

NameChangedNow · 04/09/2018 20:50

Tiger Lily is so gorgeous. Difficult to pull off though.

blueskiesandforests · 04/09/2018 20:51

I know a 7 year old Angelene - she's... Erm... Rather fiery (my 7 year old son was commended by the after school supervisor for holding her back to stop her beating up both of the girl twins in her class at once - commendation was by way of explaining the bruise on his cheek). I don't think calling a child a name derived from angel or angelic always bodes well, you never know whether they'll be angelic...

So not that one, nor the Peter Pan character Grin

gonnabreakmyrustycage · 04/09/2018 20:53

Tiger Lily as Peter Pan was my favourite book when I was little! And Penelope too. Not too keen on the others.

MikeUniformMike · 04/09/2018 21:16

Thanks! I do like Tigerlily.
Angeline makes me think of Angelina. Penelope/Penny is nice but although know 3 lovely Pennys and one horrid one, I don't think it's a pretty name. I don't like Genevieve at all even if MN does.

Jaxtellerswife · 04/09/2018 21:35

Not to be a stickler but bob geldof didn't name tiger-lily so he gets away with that one!
I like Penelope

SemperIdem · 05/09/2018 00:23

Penelope is nice as is Geneviève but the French pronunciation of that latter is so much nicer and you’d have the devils own job getting Brit’s to comply.

Tiger Lily is ludicrous.

abbiejasminee · 05/09/2018 07:26

Love the name Penelope.
I actually really like the name Tiger on its own (without Lily) x

17caterpillars1mouse · 05/09/2018 07:58

Tiger Lily is cute though probably best as a middle name

Like Genevieve nn Ginny

Angelina is quite pretty though prefer Angelina or Angelica

Penelope is nice enough just not my style

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 05/09/2018 09:35

Angeline is by far my favourite.

Sakura7 · 05/09/2018 10:29

Tiger Lily is awful.

Penelope is my favourite out of your list.
