All are nice, except Meredith, which doesn't seem to fit the rest of your names at all - I see it as quite downmarket, really. Isn't it a boy's name, in theory? I should like Pearl, as it's a very old name, something I'm often quite keen on, but I'm not super keen on it. Isadora is verging on the flouncy, but I still quite like it. I prefer Beatrice to Beatrix as well.

I like Beatrice (without the x), Florence, Pearl and Isadora.

I think my favourite is Isadora, I think it’s a good alternative to Isabella and the “ador” part gives me “adore” vibes. It’s so elegant and beautiful.

Love Beatrix and Pearl.

The only one I’m not keen on is Jocelyn.

Constance Pearl would be lovely

Arowana · 24/02/2019 21:02

My favourite is Constance (Connie). Not keen on Isadora, Pearl or Jocelyn.

I love Beatrix, Florence & Isadora

I like Meredith & Constance but don't love them

I'm less keen on Pearl & Jocelyn but don't hate them

Bumblebeesmum · 24/02/2019 22:07

Beatrix & Isadora are lovely but I’m surprised this list includes Jocelyn

Rachelhaydenberk1 · 25/02/2019 04:42

I like Isadora and Florence. The rest really aren't my taste.

I've seen a lot of babies named Meredith lately. It must be coming back in style. Its okay but I dont love it.

I like Jocelyn better spelled Josslyn.

BlueChampagne · 25/02/2019 12:39

I like Meredith or Jocelyn.

MercyBodle · 26/02/2019 07:00

I love Beatrix and Florence. Isadora is okay but I'm not keen on the rest.

Barbarafromblackpool · 26/02/2019 07:01

Constance Pearl

calsovip · 26/02/2019 07:12

I like Meredith and Beatrice (spelt this way); not keen on the rest.

Beatrix - I prefer Beatrice, although Beatrix could be shortened to Trixie.
Florence - I like but not keen on Flo. Florrie is OK as a shortening.
Meredith - I actually really like this. I know two (one teenager and one little one).
Pearl - I can't take to this one.
Constance - Not keen on but love Connie. I think I would use Connie as an independent name.
Isadora - Neither like nor dislike. I like Dora.
Jocelyn - I really like this. I know one little girl shortened to Jossie.

My favourites would be Meredith, Connie and Jocelyn.

BlueMerchant · 26/02/2019 10:32

Florence and Isadora are both nice
Pearl as a mn is nice
Don't like the others.
