Elodie, Eliza and Juliet, for me I've had too many dogs/cats named Cleo as its short for Cleopatra. Callie not sure of so on the fence.

Elodie is the favourite here.

bridgetreilly · 27/06/2019 14:13

Juliet or Eliza are my favourites by some way.

Cleo is okay. Callie sounds like it should be short for something else, and I can't stand Elodie.

IggyAce · 27/06/2019 14:14

Only one I don’t like is Cleo, the others are lovely, to narrow it down I would pick Juliet or Elodie.

I love Elodie! Never heard it before it’s very original and pretty!

PhannyPharts · 27/06/2019 14:29

I like them all bar Cleo (which is ok but I know pets with the name as pp).

I love Eliza

Peachbubble · 27/06/2019 14:49

Love Cleo, Callie and Elodie. Gone off Eliza and Orla as these are so popular atm. Not a fan of Juliet.

AverageMummy · 27/06/2019 15:40

Juliet Eliza & Orla are beautiful but all of your list sounds nice to me

BlueMerchant · 27/06/2019 15:45

Eliza is a favourite of mine.

SnowdropFox · 27/06/2019 17:07

Callie
Elodie
Juliet
For me with Elodie pushing slightly ahead but love these three. Indifferent to the other three.

ChihuahuaMummy1 · 27/06/2019 17:19

Elodie and Callie

Fatkins · 27/06/2019 18:53

Juliet is my favourite by miles! If we had another DD, it would be top of our list!

I also like Eliza and Cleo.

Chocolateandcarbs · 27/06/2019 18:57

I really like Juliet and Eliza. Cleo is not for me!

teenmum18 · 27/06/2019 18:58

Callie and Eliza are my favourites.

userabcname · 27/06/2019 19:13

My favourite is Juliet

summerofresistance · 27/06/2019 19:17

Eliza.

Beautiful name, and several possible NNs - eg Liza, Elle, Ellie, Liz,

My name has several NNs and I've always liked that different people in my life use different NNs for me.

bigglewig · 27/06/2019 19:31

Elodie is gorgeous!!!

Bellaposey · 27/06/2019 19:35

Juliet or Elodie both gorgeous! Juliet would pip it for me as so many E names around atm.

Marty93 · 27/06/2019 20:57

Eloidie and Juliet are my faves x

snowone · 27/06/2019 21:30

I love Callie - it was on my list for DD1 a few years ago Smile

Nonameyet1 · 27/06/2019 22:10
  1. Callie - if I had another this would be it’s name.
  2. Eliza
  3. Actually can’t order the rest - I’m not that keen on them but if you love them go with that.
Sophronia · 27/06/2019 22:36

Cleo or Juliet

motortroll · 27/06/2019 22:37

Juliet is my fave name ever!!

username1724 · 27/06/2019 22:40

Elodie is beautiful (my favourite) Eliza is pretty too.

Willowkoko · 27/06/2019 22:46

Callie is nice, doesn’t hear it very often. Orla for under 5’s is very popular in West Midlands area.
