Candida

[Penny4Thoughts]

Sorry.... I couldn’t think of a title that hadn’t been done / anyone would find interesting

Somehow we’ve gone from not being able to find a name we agree on, to having an actual shortlist !

What do you think? If you hate them all that’s really ok

Juliet Josephine
Rosa Josephine
Matilda Josephine
Rory David
Henry David

They are all really nice names, you can't go wrong with any of them. My favourites are probably Rosa & Rory.

Anything would be better than Candida, though, even the name makes me itch

@DramaAlpaca I can’t believe how many hours it’s taken to get to having an agreed list - & several sites do genuinely suggest the name Candida !

Rosa Josephine abd Henry David - love them both!!

In terms of "flow" I prefer Henry David but as a standalone name Rory gets my vote (still with David as a middle name though).

Rosa Josephine as well from me!

Rosie Jo would be a cute nick name for Rosa Josephine!

David is due to a loss of someone close rather than chosen for the name itself - so how it flows doesn’t really matter

Thank you!

I almost choked on my tea when I read your title. .

As regards your list, I love them all.
I think Rosa would be my favourite. It's beautiful.

I like Rory for a boy.

Rory is very difficult to pronounce for people who struggle with their Rs!

I came on to say- Thrush!!!!

Matilda Josephine
Henry David

But if you used Henry, would you use Harry as a NN, or stick to Henry?

@SnowyAlpsandPeaks I think just Henry actually. I like Hal Too but my hubby doesn’t.

Rosa is beautiful & I love the associations
But Juliet feels really unusual & maybe slightly quirky?

Candida for me.

Nn will be Cancan.

@Mollyhuacha I prefer Itchy as the nn

I love all of them (except Candida )

Henry and Matilda would be my choices.

Candida: vaginal fungus.

Juliet Josephine: I like the JJ but Juliet is a bit soft / weak imo. Julia would great imo.
Rosa Josephine: beautiful.
Matilda Josephine: very nice.

Rory David: it's OK.
Henry David: nice but imo very boring.

Love them all!

Rory or Juliet

Henry and Rosa are the nicest imo.

Matilda and Henry.

Thank you all

I like them all apart from Juliet Josephine.

a) Josephine is nicer than Juliet which is a rather dull overused name.
b) They sound odd together so if you want Juliet I’d change the middle name - Rosa or Matilda would be better.

@Tatianalarina Josephine is a family name although another could be Alice.
I’m not sure I like the ‘ine’ ending enough to use as a first name.

@TatianaLarina although I’m a little surprised you think Juliet overused - there have only been a handful a year for decades - less than 0.01%..... is it more popular where you live? I was worried it was too obscure & unusual as I tend to go for more mainstream choices (like the other 2).

Just because it’s not currently popular as a children’s name doesn’t make it obscure. It’s a very common name among my generation and above - I know loads of Julias and Juliets.

@TatianaLarina oh yes of course - but it hasn’t been even made it in to the top 100 going back as far as 1904 - so I was wondering if it was unusually common where you live?
