They are quite a mixed bag I love

Rosalind
Beatrice nn Bea

Similar names in that vein

Juliet
Philippa
Lydia
Anna

newmum332 · 17/08/2020 21:07

Romilly and Rosa are my favourites. Both were on my list. Imogen and Beatrice are nice too. Not keen on your others. Rosalind and Josephine are my least favourite.

You seem to like quite unusual names so here’s a few suggestions (and some more mainstream ones).

Audra
Innes
Anáis
Sloane
Anya
Sadie
Clara
Theodora
Maya

Thanks for the suggestions so far. Will go through them all carefully.

The list certainly is a mixed bag - I don't know which direction we're heading in really!

@irishmammy85, isn't it pronounced Ee-fa? And doesn't that sound like Eva?

irishmammy85 · 18/08/2020 21:00

Rosalind - I like, and could be shortened to Rosa.
Aoife - Love this.
Josephine (Posy) - I'm not keen on, but like Posy.
