Whispers what do you think?

[Penny4Thoughts]

We have an agreed boys name & we now finally have a shortlist for girls names (it’s been painful getting to this stage!!).... would love to know what you lot think.

If you hate a name please say why & don’t worry about being rude (unless you don’t know of course!)

Thank you lovelies

Martha
Juliet
Beatrice
Matilda
Rosa
Louisa

I like Juliet, Rosa, Matilda. They're lovely names.

I don't like Martha or Beatrice but can't really explain why. To me, they're a bit harsh (and a little...ugly?). Just my opinion, though.

I'm neutral about Louisa. Don't really like it, but it's not horrible.

I'd go for Rosa or Matilda.

Love them all. Beatrice will definitely be Bea so check that works with surname. I think Juliet is utterly beautiful and extremely underused.

Rosa, Juliet, and Beatrice were on our short list for DD.

We would have chosen Beatrice if we didn't have a Beatrix in the family (not the same, but similar enough).

Never met a Rosa. Beautiful name

I love Matilda with nn of Tilly.
Juliet & Rosa are classic and beautiful,

Martha is a bit meh, same with Louisa.
Beatrice is super common where I am, seems like every second baby is called it.

Martha - can be badly pronounced mart-da
Juliet- beautiful
Beatrice - not a fan, no reason
Matilda- not a fan,again no reason
Rosa- like this a lot
Louisa-not a fan- no reason

well, I have a favourite from that list

I particularly dislike Beatrice, it sounds harsh somehow.

I am biased but I have a Juliet and adore her name my other daughter is a Sadie (if you're interested) I like Beatrice (Beatrix was on our list) Martha , Matilda are okay. Not keen on Louisa sorry sounds a bit dated to me. My middle child gabbles out Juliet so it sounds like Jet and that is what she now calls her

Oh forgot Rosa - love it

Martha- Just dislike, imagine an old frumpy housewife, with the husband shouting ‘Martha’ for his dinner!
Juliet- like the full name, hate it when it’s shortened to Julie. Reminds of that stupid song.
Beatrice- okay
Matilda- Love
Rosa- I imagine an Italian grandmother
Louisa- boring, everyone my age group has Louise as a middle name, so very similar.

I like them all except Rosa. My favourites would be Juliet and Matilda.

My favourite is Rosa

I love them all except Beatrice but I can't quite put my finger on why!!

I like Rosa and Juliet.

The other names sound ugly and uptight to me.

Rosa is just a beautiful name.

Martha - sounds too harsh to me
Beatrice - Not too bad, don't dislike it
Juliet - Just not my cup of tea
Matilda - love this name (would be my second choice on your list)
Louisa - just an ordinary name, so doesn't grab me

I love Rosa! Such a beautiful simple name, the others are just a bit meh. I don't like Beatrice it makes me think of beetroot and for a second I read it as beat rice

I think Rose is much nicer than Rosa.

Martha is my favourite.

Love Louisa and Martha.
Rosa is ok
Juliet- a bit pretentious
Matilda- would be nice but it now carries a common vibe imo
Beatrice- don't like but can't explain why.

Martha and Matilda are my favourites, I’d probably go with Matilda.

They're all quite usable names and I don't dislike any, but there are some I like a lot more than others:
Juliet and Matilda are gorgeous and the standouts for me.
Louisa is a lovely classic that is not over-used.
Beatrice is nice.
Martha and Rosa are okay but just don't have the pzazz that the others have.

I like Matilda or Rosa best. But I do like Martha and Louisa too!

Martha- Cute for a baby but I don’t think it translate into an adult name.
Juliet- Beautiful, I want it as a middle name if I have another girl.

Beatrice- Ugly to my ears. I think to me it seems like picking an old fashioned name for the sake of having one.
Matilda- I taught four in the same year group last year. To me it wouldn’t matter but I’m know some people like to know about this.
Rosa- Elegant, classic, a nice twist on Rose.

Louisa- I find it quite frumpy.

All lovely names.
Congratulations
