Penelope
Margot
Elizabeth
Caroline
Sophie
Ophelia
Grace

FatAndFurious7 · 14/09/2019 17:59

I like Penelope and Margot, but Sophie is my absolute favourite (even outside of this list!)
My least favourite are Grace and Caroline

Atlasta · 14/09/2019 18:01

Love Grace. It really is timeless.
Really like Sophie.
Margot is horrendous.

user1493494961 · 14/09/2019 18:17

I like Elizabeth, lots of shortening options. Grace is nice. Sophies are ten a penny where I live.

MissHenty · 14/09/2019 18:20

I love all of your list - sorry not helpful

If I had to pick

Sophie
Penelope

userabcname · 14/09/2019 18:20

I love Penelope and Elizabeth - definitely my top choices. Least like Grace (really really popular in my area) and Margot (can't decide if I like this name or not!).

MrsReader · 14/09/2019 18:22

My order would be:

Elizabeth
Penelope
Sophie
Grace
Ophelia
Margot
Caroline

DramaAlpaca · 14/09/2019 18:24

My favourites are Caroline, Penelope, Sophie & Elizabeth. Classic names you can't go wrong with.

Least favourite is Margot & I'm not mad on Ophelia. I wouldn't call either of them a classic name.

I've never liked the 'Gr' sound in Grace. It's firmly middle name territory to me.

Frith2013 · 14/09/2019 19:00

Grace - ok
Caroline - ok but people keep shortening it to Caro which is a Welsh mans name!
Elizabeth - fine
Margot - my very least favourite name, I detest it beyond measure and it pops up on EVERY THREAD! So ugly.
Penelope - ok
Ophelia - boobies
Sophie - dull

IggyAce · 14/09/2019 19:04

Grace: ok but it’s a popular middle name.
Caroline: like and it’s under used.
Elizabeth: like and lots of nn to choose from.
Margot: like but think it’s going to get popular.
Penelope: no
Ophelia: no
Sophie: ok but popular.

StrictlyComeMarie · 14/09/2019 19:13

Being very brutally honest
Grace- the name equivalent of white painted walls
Caroline- ok
Elizabeth- I like it
Margot- I like it but it’s very popular
Penelope- love it. My favourite on your list
Ophelia- horrible
Sophie- dull like Grace

StrictlyComeMarie · 14/09/2019 19:14

people keep shortening it to Caro which is a Welsh mans name!
It also means expensive in Spanish!

MissHenty · 14/09/2019 19:16

@dillytilly is this helping you at all OP??

Have you narrowed down your list at all?

I love Sophie by the way x

joystir59 · 14/09/2019 19:18

Grace
Caroline
Elizabeth
Sophie
These are all nice names. I do not personally like the others

helpmum2003 · 14/09/2019 19:18

I'm not keen on Margot or Penelope but love all the others.

Elizabeth is great for NN choice and Caroline is unusual these days but not so keen on Caro, is there another NN?

MikeUniformMike · 14/09/2019 19:19

Grace - nice but Amazing, dd might not be graceful.
Caroline - love it
Elizabeth - love it
Margot - not keen
Penelope - ok. I know 3 Pennys and a Pennie. All nice.
Ophelia - not keen
Sophie - love it

MikeUniformMike · 14/09/2019 19:20

Caroline could be Carrie, Carly or Cally.

missmouse101 · 14/09/2019 19:21

Sophie is the nicest. Grace, Margot and Ophelia are all dire!

dillytilly · 14/09/2019 19:24

Thank you so much so far, given us lots to think about!

What about:

Charlotte
Cosima
Alice
Allegra
Rose
Josephine

Cosima - oh no I really don’t like this one
Alice - boring but classic. It’s quite ‘safe’
Allegra - no no no
Rose - lovely
Josephine- my favourite off this list

Genevieve- second favourite!

17caterpillars1mouse · 14/09/2019 19:53

Caroline - I like it. Well known name, but you rarely hear it
Elizabeth - it's OK, just nothing thrilling
Margot - I don't understand the love for Margot on here
Penelope - not a fan but I like Penny
Ophelia - pretty just not my style
Sophie - prefer Sophia
