I love Agnes. I’d have used it as a middle name if I’d had a girl (there’s no way I’d have persuaded anyone to use it as a first name).

17caterpillars1mouse · 01/07/2022 18:22

The only one I don't like is Cecilia.

I love Winifred with either NN Winnie or Freddie
Im not so keen on Genevieve but love Ginny

Flora is the most popular of your choices but lovely. DH veto'd it due to margarine

Love Helena, especially pronounced Helen-uh but the two pronunciation issues puts me off a bit

I will suggest Eloise, Judith and Natalia

FishcakesWithTooMuchCoriander · 01/07/2022 18:26

I think agape is a poor choice - it’s got a lovely meaning but people will think it’s pronounced like ‘her mouth was agape’, which is not great.

FishcakesWithTooMuchCoriander · 01/07/2022 18:27

I’d also advise against Candida.

FishcakesWithTooMuchCoriander · 01/07/2022 18:29

I love Ebba though. I would definitely call a girl that.

AliceMcK · 01/07/2022 18:39

I forgot to say I love Cecilia.

Favouritefruits · 01/07/2022 18:58

I can’t think of cecilia with out singing the song, I like Helena and Florence.
