Jacqueline

[Leah5678]

Thoughts on Jacqueline for a baby girl?
It's my mum's name and I also think it sounds very pretty. Middle name would be rose.

I don't know any young girls called Jacqueline though so does it come across as old ladyish? Tried searching on Mumsnet for Jacqueline threads but they're all about the author Jacqueline Wilson which is unusual because it seems there's at least one thread for every other name. So does this mean no one is naming their daughter Jacqueline?

Love it

@TheBirdintheCave Really? I must have misread Darkgreener!

It's quite a harsh, dated name. Imagine a perm and a pointy nose.

I like it but the problem is Jackie, which isn’t nice at all, so I wouldn’t

How about Genevieve?

I love it and it was on my list.

Jacqueline is a smart and pretty.
I love Jacquie and Jackie too.
Jacqueline Rose goes well.

I think it’s a classic that can work on any generation, the one I know are in 30s and 60s and of course writer Jacquline Wilson.Jackie/Jacqui is a nice shortening. Always surprised it’s not as popular now.

Both a classic and uncommon name. I don’t think it is quite in the Barbara category due to Jackie Kennedy, Jacqueline Bisset and Jacklyn Smith

Jacqueline Rose goes beautifully together.

My mother was a Barbara christened in 1928. She was always Barbara never Barb or Barbie . My cousins called her Auntie B as they got older . My brother has named his yacht after her

It's a nice name but all the Jacquelines I know are either Jacs or Jackies.

Nope I wouldn't

Its gorgeous. Would be lovely on a little girl.

I remember getting the Jackie annual for Christmas as a kid

My friends DGD (7) is called after her great grandmother Josephine which is a similar era to Jacqueline, it's never shortened to Josie or Jo.
I think they are both lovely classic names, go for it!

I prefer Jacquelyn but either way I like it.

I love it, the youngest one I know is 30. All the better for not being overused.

I love it.particularly Jackie.

It's a lovely name .

@CurlewKate , you might have made a typo.

I like it. Would find it very cool on a little kid.

I know four my age (late 50s), two are Jacqui and two are Jackie. I don't know any younger but I think that it sounds a lot better than Barbara etc.

Jacqueline Rose is gorgeous. Go for it!

Love it. Rose as a middle name is usually boring but with Jacqueline it sounds gorgeous.

It's lovely. Obviously it peaked during the Jacqueline Kennedy era so that's why there are so many of a certain age (along with Caroline).

Its my 23 year old dds middlename she likes it a lot.

Obviously so do her dad and I as we used it. She is named after SIL. Who is on her 60s and is known by Jacqueline.

I think Jaclyn would be a more modern seen take on the name 💕
