What do you think? Any other suggestions?

All beautiful options and hard to pick between! I would ask whether any of the associated nicknames would make any difference to how you felt about them? Imo, Sab, Jules, Cassie? I know we often pick names not planning to use a nickname but often these are adopted by friends/family etc so I wouldn’t pick a name if I didn’t like an obvious nickname for it.

I think I would lean towards Sabrina but I do have a love for the nickname Cassie so could be tempted by Cassandra too.

Leaning towards Sabrina because it is a bit more unusual but my second choice would be Juliet.

Tryhard40 · 10/05/2022 14:25

I really love all of those names.

I would maybe err on the side of Sabrina (and because I love the film with Audrey H) or Cassandra as they're more unusual. Cassandra will inevitably be shortened to Cassie so bear that in mind.

I like Sabrina. Well known but not overused, has a bit of zhuzh, works well internationally. I love the Audrey Hepburn film too.

ABrightSilverLining · 10/05/2022 15:09

My favourite is Sabrina.

Bimster · 10/05/2022 15:12

Cassandra- beautiful name but a sad story. Also Rodney's girlfriend for those of a certain again.

Bimster · 10/05/2022 15:13

*age.

BlossomWind · 10/05/2022 15:19

For me, Imogen by a country mile

Juliet is the best one but it's getting popular at the moment.

Sabrina reminds me of the witch.

elfran · 10/05/2022 16:00

Imogen a million times over, I love it. Nn Mo or Mimi if you're looking to avoid Immy.

The others are perfectly lovely but a tad frilly for me personally.

Neverreturntoathread · 10/05/2022 16:04

All lovely, I prefer Juliet. Similar options:


  • Iona

  • Julietta

  • Cassia

  • Inara

Evilista · 10/05/2022 16:20

Sabrina
Imogen
Juliet
Cassandra

ButterRose · 10/05/2022 16:22

Love Imogen and close second would be Juliet

MajorCarolDanvers · 10/05/2022 16:24

Imogen and Juliet are lovely.

Sabrina the Teenage With and Cassandra are too over the top for me.

pilates · 10/05/2022 16:26

I only like Imogen

FlorianImogen · 10/05/2022 16:27

Imogen reminds me of the Waitrose gooseberry and cinnamon yogurt sketch.

Chaoslatte · 10/05/2022 16:31

I prefer Julia to Juliet, that or Cassandra would be my pick. Imogen is too popular and I don’t like Sabrina.

Yika · 10/05/2022 16:48

Lovely names. I especially like Imogen and Cassandra.
what about
Rosamund
Clio
Tamara
Tabitha

bloominglovelyorange · 10/05/2022 17:32

all lovely

Firebird83 · 10/05/2022 18:56

Sabrina or Juliet

Hadtocomment · 10/05/2022 19:06

Nice list. I have a soft spot for Cassandra as I think it's a spectacular name whilst being well known and I love Cass and Cassie. Whilst nice, I don't think I'd like to be called Juliet as I think it would be tricky to live down in the same way as being called Romeo. I think Julia is quite nice. I know a Juliana too. Which is nice. I just think Romeo and Juliet is so studied at school it might be embarrassing for a teen. I don't like Immy at all though imogen's quite nice. I feel I should like Sabrina more than I do. As there is a lot of Shakespeare here I do quite like Rosalind.

Princessoftheuniverse · 10/05/2022 19:08

Juliet by a mile. It’s a lovely name. I also like Julia.

MrsEricBana · 10/05/2022 19:10

Juliet here too.
