Hebe-a plant
Agnes ...meh
Jocelen 'Lil Miss JOSHLING!!'
Beatrix - lovely, classic, adorable, strong
Briony , I love that too although I am not sure how I feel about female versions of 'boy' names. It's a strong versatile name though
Clara- beautiful

Beautifulsunflowers · 05/04/2023 19:27

I like Clara and Beatrice - spelt this way!

Somanycats · 05/04/2023 19:35

Briony first then a long way behind Clara. Not the others for me.

Really like Hebe, Agnes, Beatrix and Clara.
Not so keen on Jocelyn or Briony.

Luredbyapomegranate · 05/04/2023 21:35

I love Jocelyn

Really like Agnes but it’s marmite

Quite like Hebe, probably also a bit marmite

Beatrix / Beatrice and Clara a bit more mainstream and dull

Not a fan of Briony

Holly60 · 05/04/2023 21:36

I think Hebe Beatrix sounds lovely

drpet49 · 05/04/2023 21:38

Hebe is awful

Bobbybobbins · 05/04/2023 21:39

I like Clara, Briony and Beatrice.

fairycupcakes · 05/04/2023 21:39

Hebe- pronounced like in heebie jeebies?
Agnes - I don’t think this one is ready for a comeback yet
Jocelyn - very Schitt’s Creek
Beatrix - Lovely but I do prefer Beatrice
Briony - Lovely
Clara - My favourite! So beautiful and classy :)

junebirthdaygirl · 05/04/2023 21:39

Briony is fine.
In lrish Agnes is Oonagh or Una which l think is a lovely name.

How is Briony a female version of a boys name? It's a plant... Bryony.

Mumofgirls2017 · 05/04/2023 22:19

Hebe- don’t see the appeal, also pronounciation issues
Agnes- ok, bit clunky
Jocelyn - kind of like joss but think some will think frumpy
Beatrix - quite like
Briony - dated. Female version of Brian.
Clara- love. Choose this one!

Quornflakegirl · 05/04/2023 22:26

Hebe, I dislike
Agnes, love! I know a gorgeous little Agnes, she’s 8.
Jocelyn, it’s ok.
Beatrix, much prefer Beatrice
Briony, dislike
Clara, I like this name

my fav is Agnes.

ourflagmeansdeath · 06/04/2023 11:30

Hebe- not too keen, would get mispronounced
Agnes - I don't mind it but not to my taste
Jocelyn - I quite like this, a very sweet name and not too popular either
Beatrix- I do like it but prefer Beatrice
Briony - Hmm not for me, I love Bree though
Clara - Gorgeous! Really pretty name

Think my favs are Jocelyn and Clara

Nap1983 · 06/04/2023 11:35

Hebe- wtf just no
Agnes- is your baby being born 80
Jocelyn- meh
Beatrix- cute, like Bea as a nn
Briony- nice, not common
Clara- lovely, really classic

BungleandGeorge · 06/04/2023 11:39
