Eleanor is my favourite, you can't go wrong with it, a classic name with lots of history behind it. Eleanor of Aquitaine was a formidable woman so I always think of Eleanor as a strong, feminine name.

DinosaurDiana · 11/03/2021 10:31

Esther is my favourite.

FayLivvie · 11/03/2021 10:41

Pippa & Connie favourites

DarcyJack · 11/03/2021 10:42

Esther or Fern

mrsm43s · 11/03/2021 10:46

Pippa or Connie for me, but I'd put full names (Phillipa/Constance) on the birth certificate. I prefer Phillipa to Constance, so Pippa would probably win out for me.

Eleanor
Connie if it was short for Constance
Pippa if it was short for Philippa
Fern

ColonelPine · 11/03/2021 10:50

Esther

AndThenTheDayBecomesTheNight · 11/03/2021 10:52

Eleanor, followed by Ellen and Esther.

sesquipedalia · 11/03/2021 11:44

Etta

PattyPan · 11/03/2021 12:06

I like Eleanor, Pippa, and Fern as they are. I like Connie and Maggie but only as nicknames (for Constance and Margaret), not as full names.

Rae is the ugliest looking word ever. Etta I think is a bit of a rogue choice unless you have the heritage to go with it.

17caterpillars1mouse · 11/03/2021 12:18

Oh I like a few alot
Connie - though I prefer as a shortening for Constance which I love
Pippa - beautiful
Delilah - lovely
Esther - love it and the shortening Essie

If I really had to go with just one I'd go with Esther unless Connie is Constance then I would go for that (and nearly did)

KirstenBlest · 11/03/2021 12:31

OK:
Esther
Maggie
Connie
Pippa
Eleanor
Ellen
Fern

Bin:
Etta
Delilah
Rae
Ellis

KirstenBlest · 11/03/2021 12:32

I managed to lose Robyn - it's nice but too unisex for my taste

emmathedilemma · 11/03/2021 12:33

My order of preference would be in this order with a large "like gap" between Esther and the rest!
Maggie - but I'd use Margaret as a full name
Connie - but Constance as full name
Eleanor
Etta
Esther
Ellen
Pippa - Philippa?
Robyn
Delilah
Fern
Rae
Ellis

Sarcobaleno · 11/03/2021 14:23

Maggie, Esther and Pippa are the best IMO

GoLightlyontheEarth · 11/03/2021 14:24

Eleanor is the only one I like.

JeanClaudeVanDammit · 11/03/2021 14:25

Eleanor and Robyn (but I prefer Robin even though I think that’s more the male version).

Pepper54 · 11/03/2021 14:34

Connie but Constance on birth certificate
Eleanor

VenusClapTrap · 11/03/2021 15:01
