Lydia, Camilla...

[wombwithawiew]

Thoughts on our girl shortlist?

Lydia
Camilla
Agnes
Artemis
Clemency
Cleo
Athena

Thanks 🙏🏼

I love Athena and Lydia, not keen on the others personally.

I like all those, except Cleo, and that’s still OK. I like Agnes but wouldn’t want Aggie, so that might put me off it.

Love Lydia, not crazy about camilla but I like Camellia
Clio and Athena are nice too but clemency is awful, so is Artemis.

Agnes is nice in a french accent but you can't make non french people say it the french way. They're obviously going to say it in a harsh way.

Anya ?

I love Lydia and Camilla. I really dislike your other choices.

I love Artemis. I wish I'd had the balls to use it myself.

Lydia is my favourite.

Personally Lydia is the only one I'd use, but I don't hate the others, just not my personal taste.

I love Camilla and Cleo

Lydia - it’s nice but a bit dull
Camilla - love Camilla, less keen on Cam or Milly though
Agnes - strongly dislike the English pronunciation
Artemis - love it
Clemency - it’s an interesting name. Not one I like, but it’s a good choice
Cleo - lovely, but worry it’s too trendy. It’s rising very sharply upwards in popularity. I also prefer the Clio spelling
Athena - not a name I’ve ever warmed to. Similar feelings on trendiness/popularity as Cleo

I have a Lydia! I love that she's not in a class full of kids with the same name!

Ooh a lovely list!
Lydia - don't understand why this isn't more popular! Sweet, pretty and fairly classic. I think it suits a child and an adult equally.
Camilla - lovely.
Agnes - unusual but sweet.
Artemis - love this although I think it's used quite a lot for a boy's name (I know it's the name of a goddess btw!).
Clemency - least favourite, I prefer Clementine. Don't like Clemmy though which I feel it would be shortened to.
Cleo - great name, again I think it suits all ages.
Athena - beautiful.

My top choice would be either Lydia or Athena but I like them all (except Clemency).

Lydia is a fab name. I’m not keen on the others.

I like them all

Lydia or Cleo.

Lydia - got called Chlamydia at my school. #justsaying

Cleo is lovely.

Oh gosh they're all lovely! Camilla, Clemency and Agnes are my favourites. Not so keen with on Artemis (but like Artemisia).

Lydia
Camilla
Agnes
Artemis
Clemency
Cleo
Athena

I like all of these apart from Agnes. The hard g makes it sound ugly to me.

Ooh glad the responses are mostly positive! General love for Lydia... I don't know any in real life.

I do also like Clementine. And yes I wish we were french so could pronounce Agnes that way!

Lydia - like, a bit fussy, but nice
Camilla - like, but reminds me if duchess- Camille is nice too
Agnes - meh
Artemis - no
Clemency - no
Cleo - love
Athena - love

I really like them all apart from Agnes (too retro/hipster) and Clemency (ditto, plus nn Clem sounds horrible imo).

If you want the hipster/cool vibe, I like Cleo best.
If you want timeless classic then Lydia.
If you want classic and well known, yet underused then Camilla.
If you want classical and on the rise (yet still fairly standout) then Athena.
If you want classical but more brave/standout then Artemis .

I think we may rule out Cleo and Artemis. Maybe for middle names

Cleo is a lovely name!

Ok i like it again now 🙈

Lydia is really pretty.
