  1. Beatrice
  2. Thea
Not keen on the others.
Susannach · 27/02/2019 08:27

My favourites are Thea and Thalia, but I like them all. Least favourite is India.

MarthasGinYard · 27/02/2019 08:30

Ooo how refreshing I like them all except Beatrice. However I like Beatrix.

India is my least fave

RiverTam · 27/02/2019 08:32

Beatrice at a push but I don't really like any of them.

KingHenrysCodpiece · 27/02/2019 08:36

I love them all! Fab names. My list order is:

Delilah
India
Beatrice
Thea
Thalia

aliceelizaloves · 27/02/2019 08:40

Thea and Beatrice are lovely. I like Delilah but always think of the Bible character.

MrsDrSpencerReid · 27/02/2019 08:44

My DS has two little friends called India and Beatrice, both lovely girls so they’d be at the top of the list for me Smile

Also like Thea.

daisypond · 27/02/2019 09:40

Thea - I like this. Simple but classy.
Thalia -nice. Simple but quite unusual.
Beatrice - nice. Traditional and classy.
Delilah and India are my worst - I'd never consider either. Delilah - because of the biblical character - a bit like calling her Jezebel. India is too Colonial/Raj with unpleasant undertones of cultural appropriation, to me.

starkid · 27/02/2019 09:53

Beatrice
Delilah

None of the others are my cup of tea, but I like these 2 :)

NuffSaidSam · 27/02/2019 11:09

I like Beatrice. Don't really like any of the others. Thea is ok. India is dreadful.

Arowana · 27/02/2019 11:14

Thea is my favourite, Delilah is my least favourite.

Icklepup · 27/02/2019 11:24

Beatrice

NameChangeNugget · 27/02/2019 11:25

I only like Thea

BlueChampagne · 27/02/2019 12:49

I only really like Thea as well. Thalia at a pinch.

BlueMerchant · 27/02/2019 12:53

Wish I'd been brave enough to use Delilah.Its lovely.
Not keen on the others but Thea is the best of them imo.

LemonBreeland · 27/02/2019 15:48

I like them all. I love Delilah, Thalia and Thea. India and Beatrice are nice but too popular for me.

SimplyPut · 27/02/2019 15:50

Thea is beautiful and fun but also elegant.

Not a big fan of India in all honesty.

MustStopSnacking28 · 27/02/2019 15:53

Beatrice is my fave name for a girl but DH vetoed it 😩

2 Thea
3 Delilah
4 India
5 Thalia

Good luck choosing!

golddustwomen · 27/02/2019 15:55

Oh I love India ! I wanted to use it but oh veto'd as his friend of a friends dd is India (I know how ridiculous!)

mrsk28 · 27/02/2019 15:56

India is my favorite followed by Delilah

libellule1 · 27/02/2019 16:00

Ranked in order:

Thea
Beatrice
Delilah
India
Thalia

Other suggestions: Flora, Lena, Selene. I much prefer Talia to Thalia, it seems like it would be a 'th' sound.
