We have a long list of names… pick your favourites!

Sophia
Dorothea
Margaux
Margo
Tabitha
Annabella
Aurora
Jemima
Araminta
Belle
Anoushka
Perdita
Orla

I really like Aurora, Tabitha, Orla, Sophia and Annabella in that order.

DS3 would have been Orla if a girl but I actually prefer some of your other names now. Sophia's a family name but pronounced Soph-eye-a and I prefer it that way.

Dislike Margo/Margaux and Jemima and others OK.

Sophia
Annabella
Belle

I love those three

Love Perdita and Tabitha. And Margot, but not the way it’s spelt on your list.

Anoushka and Dorothea.

Dorothea
Tabitha

Belle
Annabelle as first name. Belle day-to-day.
Annabella is a bit 'too much'.

Jemima

Love Tabitha and Jemima. Anoushka is beautiful too. Sophia is ok but I prefer Sophie.

Jemima

DS would have been Belle if he had been a girl!

Also like Orla, Sophia, Jemima & Margaux.

Jemima prob my fave from your list.

Aurora
Sophia
Orla
Belle

Dislike the other ones.

Tabitha is lovely.
Quite like Perdita (unusual)
I like Orla but it's reasonably well used.

Don't like Aurora (too Disney)
Sophia - boring
Dorothea - no, Dorothy is a very plain name and it sounds weird to give it a fancy ending
Margaux - weird spelling
Margo - put a T on it
Annabella - too prissy for me
Jemima - ok
Araminta - sounds like a joke posh name
Belle - no - Disney again
Anoushka - ok but quite a mouthful to live with and spell. It WILL get shortened to something. Are you Russian? It sounds it.

Have to go with Aurora.. a classic!

And Belle so pretty!

Orla
Sophia

Change annebella to annabel.

Jemima…am not a fan of the other names .

Dorothea
Orla - but prefer Orlaith spelling
Annabelle

If it makes any difference I know 5 margots born this year so I think it might be in the up…
I love Dorothea and Tabitha
Really dislike Perdita and Araminta
Rest are ok.

My reactions, for what they’re worth…

I love Aurora but would avoid it because that’s what sleeping beauty is called and when she’s a teen she won’t welcome all the ‘do you need a kiss’ jokes.

I like Perdita

Not Margaux she’ll spend her life explaining the spelling.

Rest are quite nice, although all the Anoushkas I’ve met have been Indian so depending on your heritage that might be something to bear in mind.

what an eclectic list!
My thoughts:

Sophia - fine
Dorothea - fine
Margaux - no, and definitely not this spelling
Margo - spelling is better, but I don't like the name
Tabitha - nice (but I do think of it as a cat!)
Annabella - nice
Aurora - too disney
Jemima - fine, not my cup of tea
Araminta - bit flowery, but kind of like it
Belle - and the beast - no
Anoushka - only if you have French/Russian connections otherswies try hard.
Perdita - hmm, no
Orla - fine

I love Sophia but prefer it spelt Sofia.

Margo is lovely and I love the way you've spelt it without the T. In my opinion, Margot looks like Maggot.

Annabella is beautiful.

I like Aurora, Jemima & Belle.

I love Araminta.

Anoushka
Sophia

Jemima and Dorothy not Dorothea. The others are either too frilly or too plain or dull.

Dorothy is terribly clunky.

Dorothea is so much nicer.

I disagree, Dorothea is frumpy and Dorothy is lovely
