Can I have a few comments on my new, revised list of girls names, please.

[cushioncover]

Ok, I posted a couple of weeks ago with our shortlist of 3. Comments were very helpful. In fact we've now dropped Martha from the list as the views were either that it was becoming very popular or that it wasn't very nice.
...Anyway, we still like Frances but we're also considering Rosalind and Joscelyn (unsure how best to spell it as I've been told this is the masculine spelling) Ruth is still somewhere in the pot too!

So,
1)Francis
2)Rosalind
3)Joscelyn
and poss 4)Ruth

All comments welcome.

Frances with an e obviously

Frances or Ruth.

love Martha!

oops, not on your short list

Frances (think Francis is the boys spelling)

don't like any of the others

I love Frances.

Frances. Really like this name.

isnt 1) the masculine spelling?

have you thought about the way people will shorten them...

1. fran, franny
2. Roz, lindy
3. josh
4. er... ruth.

I like them all but 3 is my favourite in the nickname and 4 my favourite overall.

Frances=dull
Rosalind=nice
Jocelyn=nice
Ruth=deathly dull (I knew a big fat bloater called Ruth.She was an aul' bitch too so am maybe a teensybit biased.)

Martha and Ruth. I don't like the others, sorry but if I had to, I'd go for Frances.

Yes,I know it's Frances, it was just a typo.

All the Ros's I meet are a bit sappy so not that.

Francis is good.

Ruth's I've met tend to be solid and fiesty

Joscelyn just reminds me of little miss....

or even Frances!

I do agree that Ruth is a bit dull. I like Fran as a shortened form

Frances - one of my mum's friends was Frances - known as Frankie, which I love too.

Of Frances, obviously. Not of Ruth

Rosalind or Ruth for me. JUst not keen on Frances really and Joscelyn equals fat posh girl for me.

Lotty, I like Fran, Ros or Joss as shortened versions.

Moondog, is Jocelyn (without the s) the feminine spelling then? Different sources have given conflicting advice on this one.

I only like Frances.

LOL @ Moondog. I know a really droney and self obsessed bloater called Rosalind.

Frances was a mean bully at school so am biased !

...and always reminds me of leonard rossiter (must be the frances de la tour connection!)

Dunno Cushion.

i don't hold with rules though.
Call your kids what you like!

Erm - from those 4, poss Frances?

I love Martha though so much more!

Lol at my names all being fat, posh bloaters!

Think I prefer Rose or Rosie to Rosalind...

Ohhhhh, don't start me thinking about Martha again. I've always loved it and don't know why I didn't use it with DD!

I prefer Elspeth

RUTH! Love Ruth.
