Camilla
Marina
Francesca
Romilly

Only like Camilla and Annabel although I think Annabel is a bit too popular which would personally bother me.
I love Anna though it's not on your list.

Justleavemealonejob · 26/08/2019 19:03

I have always liked Francine.

Sexnotgender · 26/08/2019 19:03

Beatrice - not super keen
Elizabeth - lovely
Camilla - ok but not my favourite
Marina - not great
Francesca - love
Romilly - not keen
Henrietta - no
Annabel - boring

What about Penelope or Harriet?

pippadowney · 26/08/2019 19:11

What @Atlasta said.
Although I don’t think Annabel is that popular Hmm

BethanyGilbert · 26/08/2019 19:25

I like Elizabeth and Romilly.

cptartapp · 26/08/2019 19:30

I like Elizabeth and Francesca.
Howabout Louisa, Cassandra, Alicia, Erica, Zara, Jennifer, Georgina?

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 26/08/2019 19:35

Elizabeth Francesca and Romilly

Iamblossom · 26/08/2019 19:37

Sorry if I am missing the point but if none of these names jumps out at you why are they on your shortlist?

My favourites are Romilly, Francesca and Beatrice. HTH.

LTK73 · 26/08/2019 19:38

I like Beatrice (although alternative Beatrix) and annabel best, although probably prefer Arabella as something a little different. My name is Elizabeth and I don’t really like it, although I like Liz well enough. Other alternatives are Bethany and Elsbeth if you wanted something a little different Smile good luck choosing

StyleOfTheTimes · 26/08/2019 19:40

Really don’t like Romilly, marina or Henrietta. Francesca is the nicest one on your list imo.

CornforthWhite · 26/08/2019 19:44

I like all of the names and if we had to pick tomorrow it would be one of these I suppose I just don't know which one I like the most.

I am hoping heading other people's views and suggestions will help me Smile

Beatrice - ok if you love the royal family. Quite pretentious
Elizabeth - lovely classic name
Camilla - as above - ok if you love the royal family. Horrible Middle Aged name otherwise
Marina - place where you store boats
Francesca - nice name. It will get shortened to Fran so you’ll need to like that name too
Romilly - my phone says this is a typo
Henrietta - I like it. I also like Hetty for short
Annabel - nice but very popular

17caterpillars1mouse · 26/08/2019 19:46

My favourites are Francesca (would definitely consider if I were to have a dd3) and Annabel

I also really like Beatrice

I really don't like Romilly or Camilla

Luckingfovely · 26/08/2019 19:48

Beatrice - too many royal associations
Elizabeth - ditto
Camilla - ditto
Marina - love it! Definitely the best.
Francesca - pleasant; consider what it would be shortened to - Frankie?
Romilly - Really, really, really awful.
Henrietta - okay - nn Henry?
Annabel - okay - nn Bella??

Lobsterquadrille2 · 26/08/2019 19:52

I absolutely love Marina and in my view it stands out a mile above all the others.

daisypond · 26/08/2019 20:03

I love them all except Annabel, and that’s still fine. I’m hard pushed for a favourite. Camilla and Marina are both particularly lovely. I know teenagers called every name on your list, and they all have good connotations to me.

MikeUniformMike · 26/08/2019 20:11

Beatrice - nice
Elizabeth - love it
Camilla - ok but will be Cam
Marina - nice
Francesca - It's nice but too frilly
Romilly - don't like
Henrietta - ok. Will be Hen.
Annabel

MikeUniformMike · 26/08/2019 20:11

Annabel is really nice.

user1493494961 · 26/08/2019 20:13

Francesca or Elizabeth. Elizabeth has lots of potential shortenings, I think I would go with this.

Meltedicicle · 26/08/2019 20:13

Elizabeth and Francesca are both lovely, classy names. Personally, I’m not keen on the others in your list. Do any go particularly well with your surname?

TomorrowsPrincess · 26/08/2019 20:16

I have a Francesca...... although we've shortened it to Frankie.
I think it's beautiful 😍 but I'm biased

slobberyblob · 26/08/2019 20:17

The sound like chicken names. 🐔🐥

Welshy545 · 26/08/2019 20:27

I love Francesca with the nickname frankie x

MitziK · 26/08/2019 20:27

Henrietta could be NN Hattie.

Ex really liked the name (Hattie, that is). Didn't happen, as it didn't suit her, but it wasn't instantly dismissable.

As I was a child with a stammer, I'd think that Romilly could be quite difficult for some kids to say with that or a lisp - you might end up changing from Womlee to Millie.

mumtobabygilrl · 26/08/2019 21:19

Beatrice I like but prefer Beatrix (love bea)

I also like marina both I considered for our DD

Not keen on the others I'm afraid but that's just personal taste and choice

I do like
Isobel
Anna
Grace
Ivy
Etta
