Baby girl shortlist help

[jonathanvanness]

Really struggling with girls names. These are our current favourites but can't decide on one. Can you let me know what you think of each of them? Open to suggestions based on these too!

Bridget
Claudia
Eliza
Juliette
Josephine
Hazel
Matilda
Imogen
Heidi
Eleanor

Eliza

The rest are hard or over used or too contemporaneous. Hazel is nice but a bit rabbity - can't immediately think of the book or film - had representations of nazism v myxematosis. Got it. Watership Down - shoukd never have been a U.

Bridget not keen.
Claudia quite nice
Eliza ok
Juliette no
Josephine no no
Hazel no no
Matilda so overused and I don't like it.
Imogen good
Heidi no
Eleanor pretty name but a lot of Ellies around.

Nina
Celia
Bryony

My favourites are Claudia and Juliet (I prefer this spelling).

Least favourites are Josephine and Eleanor.

We have similar taste! Dd1 is Eliza and Matilda was our second choice. I also like Heidi and Nina. Not a massive fan of the others.

hmmm difficult. Names are not only very personal but regional..so Hazel is popular in Scotland for example but viewed as bland elsewhere.

I dont mind your choices, my favourite from your list is Juliette purely because i know none! I would add Juno, Jemima, Georgina, Charlotte, heather, grace

I like Eliza and Imogen.
Josephine would make a good middle for these.
I don't mind any of the other names either

You're spoilt for choice I wished we liked so many names!

Heidi and Imogen are the best on your list IMO. Not keen on Josephine

Bridget : not keen
Claudia : no
Eliza : like
Juliette : like, pretty and under used.
Josephine : no
Hazel : nice
Matilda : nice but popular.
Imogen : love, but am biased as I have one. DD mn is Evangeline so you may like that too.
Heidi : like
Eleanor : not a fan

Thanks for the input. I absolutely love the name Juno and would name her this in a heartbeat but DH is really not keen. Juliette is his favourite which I do love too but am not 100% sold just yet. I do find girls names so much easier than boys but we were both very decisive on a name for DS as soon as we found out the sex.

I love Juliette. Eliza is also really nice. I’m not keen on any of the other names (including Juno -sorry!).

Bridget and Hazel are my favourites from your list. Good luck!

Eliza or Imogen - such amazing and interesting names. I love the sound of them

Eliza is nice. Prefer Brigid to Bridget.

@OhTheRoses - you are thinking of watership down I think.

I love julliette but like lots of names u love I don't like the shortened version.

@siriusblackthemischieviouscat yes I know what you mean, I don't like Jules at all. Think she would be Lettie for short but not sure if that's too much of a reach!

Juliette - under used . As tragic as Ophelia, but ....
There were three Imogens in every clsss dd was ever in. She's 21. So imo that's hugely over-used.

Love Claudia and Eliza.

Alternatives
Harriet
Clara
Freya
Anna
Teresa
Sadie
Jennifer
Georgia

OP - you will have no sway whatsoever over any child's nn.

Bridget: Excellent choice, obviously.
Claudia: Lovely
Eliza: I like it
Juliette: Prefer Juliet
Josephine: nn Josie. Sweet.
Hazel: Don't like this
Matilda: It's fine. Quite popular at the moment.
Imogen: Also fine.
Heidi: Don't like this
Eleanor: Also fine

My top three would be Bridget, Juliet, Claudia.

Really don't like Bridget I'm sorry but really like the others. Love
Josephine
Eliza
Imogen
Heidi
Matilda

Like:
Claudia
Eliza
Juliette
Matilda
Imogen
Heidi

Meh:

Dislike:

Heidi and Imogen are my favourites.

I'm not keen on Bridget Eliza or Hazel.

I would have Juliette in favourites but not keen on Lettie as nn.

Juliette is lovely. This, or Josephine.

Francine, could be shortened to Frankie.

@mylaptopismylapdog I love Frankie but really not keen on Francine
