Hello beautiful people!

My partner and I are expecting our first child, a girl, December 26th. We are both very fond of the names I have listed below however we aren’t sure either of them is ‘the one’. We would love to hear your opinions/suggestions. She will take my partners surname which starts with C and is easy to match with names.

Thanks in advance xx

Names:
Aneska
Davina
Emeraude
Geneva
Jemima
Persephone
Tallulah

I really like Jemima and Tallulah from your list x

I love Jemima best

Suggestions:

Edith
Margaret (Maggie)
Delilah
Ottilie (Ottie)
Roxanna /Roxanne
Willa

Only Jemima for me from the list, although I love the name Emerald. Not heard of Emeraude.

I like Geneva and Jemima

Aneska - not heard or seen it before.Might generate comments like What is an Eska?
Davina - ok but makes me think of the tv celebrity
Emeraude - not sure. A bit too much like Emma Road?
Geneva - place name. No.
Jemima - like it a lot
Persephone - nice but a bit long.
Tallulah - nice

I'd pick Jemima.

I like the name Persephone.

Geneva

Davina or Jemima for me.

I only like Tallulah from your list.

Emeraude is French for emerald isn't it? Prefer Emerald.

I only like Jemima and Tallulah.
Or
Jennifer
Evangeline
Marissa
Anoushka
Saskia
Natalie (born at Christmas )
Estelle (star)

Davina is my favourite of your choices by a long way, it's a beautiful, elegant name.

Jemima is OK I suppose, and maybe Davina. The rest are a definite no.

I like Jemima and I’m strangely drawn to Geneva too.

Not keen on your list but Tallulah is the worst. Please don't call her that, it's definitely into stripper territory.

Nina
Astrid
Edith
Marjolaine

Aneska - never heard of this. I prefer Anoushka which is a really pretty name
Davina - I really dislike this
Emeraude - will always always be having to correct everyone who calls her Emerald. Which will be everyone.
Geneva - not keen
Jemima - lovely
Persephone - ok
Tallulah - don't like at all

Jemima is my favourite from your list but I really like Anoushka.

I really like Aneska, though I think most people will only have heard it from Jane the Virgin where she’s a villain.

What do you think of Petra?

Jemima OK, the rest are awful.

Jemima is my favourite don’t shorten it to Jem though

Jemima is lovely, and I really like pp’s suggestion of Anoushka.

Genevieve rather than Geneva.

I like Jemima

Octavia

@GeoffreyAndBungle Yes, Emeraude is French for emerald. Thank you for your thoughts!

@PsychosonicCindy Thank you for your suggestions! I like Estelle, it is quite fitting for a Christmas baby.
