Bessie is beautiful and unusual.

Mayhemmumma · 06/10/2021 17:55

I love everly!
Bessie and Callie are nice
Not keen on Opal

TheYearOfSmallThings · 06/10/2021 17:56

Bessie is cute, but I would use Elizabeth as the given name.

I also have a weakness for the name Opal even though it is definitely Hillbilly.

toastofthetown · 06/10/2021 17:56

Opal. Not keen at all on Bessie as a full name.

Lulu1919 · 06/10/2021 17:56

Everly is nice....I know a 50 year old one !
Love Bessie too
Not so keen on Opal or Callie

Callie

Blackopal · 06/10/2021 17:57

Opal!

Eliphanbee · 06/10/2021 17:58

Everly is lovely

TumtumTree · 06/10/2021 17:58

Bessie is my favourite. I would put Elizabeth on the birth certificate.

Ellarain · 06/10/2021 18:04

Everly is my favourite. If I had another girl (I won't) this would be her name.

HuckleberryJam · 06/10/2021 18:06

Callie -Lovely
Opal - nice/different
Bessie- Nice
Everly - less keen

Oh dear - I thought you might be naming a dog.

Forgive me!

Wellonlyifihaveto · 06/10/2021 18:09

Bessie is awful , quite like everly

Gambianwife · 06/10/2021 18:27

Callie :)

Balonzette · 06/10/2021 18:29

I LOVE Bessie. I know a little Bess. It's lovely.

Callie is also very pretty.

I like Everley which always surprises me as it's really not my style.

I tried to like Opal but I just don't think it works well as a baby name. It's clunky and awkward to say.

NannyR · 06/10/2021 18:31

Callie is a great name, really not keen on the others at all.

Balonzette · 06/10/2021 18:33

Forgive me!

What a passive aggressively hostile thing to say. Just say "I don't like the names" or don't comment. None of these names are dog's names. I mean, ANY name can be a dog name, but none of these are particularly doggy. If you're going to be unkind at least be honest about it!

I don't like any of them.

Antiqueanniesmagiclanternshow · 06/10/2021 18:38

Opal fruits made to make your mouth water.
Bessie Bunter- old time cartoon fat girl.
Everly brothers.
Callie....just no.

Teacakequeen · 06/10/2021 18:52

Usuallyhappycamper · 06/10/2021 18:56
