Adelaide
Camilla
Catherine
Eleanor
Elizabeth
Francesca
Georgia or Georgina
Harriet
Josephine
Juliet
Matilda
Penelope
Theodora
Victoria

Thank you!

Juliet and Josephine are my favourites.

Me too!
I do like Camilla as a name but personally would be removed of Parker-bowles

Eleanor
Penelope
Harriet
Elizabeth
Victoria

The rest are ok except Josephine not keen on Jo for a girl, Camilla and Theodora

Yes I know what you mean about Parker-Bowles, @Pasgaddi - shame it’s nice without that association.

Juliet I love but not Julie...Jools could be cute but Jamie Oliver’s wife..

Posie as a possible nn for Josephine but I’ve just seen it described as wet on another thread.

My faves are Juliet, Josephine and Matilda, the first two are probably less popular which I think is a positive.

Georgia, Matilda and Adelaide :)
Also is your name a reference to the Kath and Kim episode?

Thanks @Fulltimemummy85, your choices all very classic which I do love.

All beautiful names, very similar taste to me, these are my top ones of your selection.

Eleanor
Francesca
Georgia or Georgina
Harriet
Josephine
Matilda
Victoria

I appreciate it's not to everyone's taste but I like Frankie, Georgie & Mattie as nicknames too.

Georgia and Matilda are my top two. Not keen on others.

@whinetime89 - yes! :)
Your username from K and K too?

@tardyheart - thank you, and I agree on the nns, I also like Chessie for Francesca and Harry and Hattie for Harriet.

@meatandgreetretreat hahaha yes. Oh I miss that show it was the best! And Bretty, Ephonee, Prue and Trude. I feel like o need to whip out the DVDs

Catherine
Elizabeth
Francesca
Harriet
Georgia
Victoria
Josephine.

Not fussed on the others.
Although I like Elena (El-ay-na) rather than Ellen-or.

I know you're trying to shorten your list but other names you might like.
Bethany.
Violet
Jennifer
Jessica
Stephanie
Sarah
Evelyn
Isabelle
Louisa
Hannah
Florence
Beatrice
Abigail

@whinetime89, maybe I need to add Epponnee-Rae to my list! :)

Penelope !

What does the surname start with and how many syllables?

Middle name chosen?

Thanks @Awwlookatmybabyspider
I can’t use Stephanie, Beatrice or Abigail but I like them all.
Evelyn I like but would be worried about pronunciation confusion.
Violet vetoed by DH.

@HarleyS
Surname starts with t and 2 syllables. Do you think a name ending with t will sound strange with it?
Middle names to be chosen from a list of family names depending on first name and how they would flow together.

My daughter is Georgia but always wanted to be called Georgina when she was younger

I'd take off Georgia & Francesca just because I really don't like them, and also Theodora because I'm not fond of the diminutives.

The rest are great, all classy & elegant.

Do you like Dorothy..

I’d keep Catherine, Eleanor, Harriet, Josephine and Juliet. Juliet is my favourite of these by far though.

Evelyn is a beautiful name, boys have it too, learned that recently.
Goes with most English / British surnames too
Evelyn Taylor
Evelyn Thomas
Evelyn Cooper
Evelyn Jones
Evelyn Smith

Live up a common surname too, I think

Maybe a more modern middle name as Evelyn is classical and a biblical connection

Record yourself saying all the names with all the middle names with your surname
Listen to the recording and hear what feels right
