DD has a Katherine in her nursery and I thought it seemed refreshing compared to all the Eva / Evie / Ada / Ivy's etc

Not so keen on Hazel, Tess or Maria.

cptartapp · 30/11/2022 14:29

Like Anna and Elizabeth
Don't like Polly, Hazel, Tess, Diana, Jane. Especially not Polly.
The rest are ok. Lucy is a bit wet.

Prefer Catherine with a C to all of the above.

IHateJon · 30/11/2022 14:34

Hazel and Anna.

Strongly dislike Lucy and Polly.

TheBirdintheCave · 30/11/2022 18:22

Hazel is my favourite :)

DramaAlpaca · 30/11/2022 18:32

I like them all, apart from Diana.

It's too hard to pick a favourite from the others.

Overgrowngrasslady · 30/11/2022 18:36

Rose, to be honest I don’t really like the rest.

Lilacbluecloud · 30/11/2022 21:15

Maria - religious vibes, would bother me, but you may not mind.
Hazel - love
Polly - sweet, but there are a lot of nursery rhymes involving Polly, which puts me off a bit.
Josephine - like, Josie is nice, dislike Jo
Lucy - like, classic
Rose - nice. Feel like there are a lot of variations around though. Maybe a bit overdone.
Katie (Katherine on BC) - nah, bit dated
Diana - nope
Elizabeth - everyone will think you're a massive royalist
Anna - boring
Tess - love
Jan - 60 year old woman

Coconutcream123 · 30/11/2022 21:29

Lucy or Hazel

yoshiblue · 30/11/2022 21:32

Anna, Lucy
Definitely not Hazel!

bangersandhash · 30/11/2022 21:35

Maria - gorgeous, elegant and underused in the UK.
Josephine - Josie is a lovely nn.
Rose - classic and pretty.
Polly - nice.

All the rest

Hadtocomment · 30/11/2022 21:37

I like your list. My least favourite is Diana. Maybe because Di isn't lovely as a shortening. It's a slightly royal sounding list, but I suppose that's because there are quite a few very classic names traditionally used by queens or royals like Katherine, Elizabeth and Jane (not to mention Diana!). Polly and Josephine are really nice. I really like Hazel too as I like the sound and the connotations of Hazel the colour and Hazel trees. Is Tess short for something or on its own. Tessa is also nice.

Crazyfaisy · 30/11/2022 21:52

Hazel and Tess!
