[puddingpie]

Hi - i would love lots of honest opinions no matter how harsh .
i would like to know what you think of them as well as the sort of reputation it might have (downmarket etc), and whether there are loads of kids around with the same name that i am missing as i am one of those saddos that wishes to avoid the next Ruby or Olivia.
Thanks all

Gwendolen (nn Winnie)
Winifred (nn Winnie)
Iris
Dorothy
Cordelia
Penelope
Pearl
Polly
Prudence (i ike P's !)
Audrey
Phyllis
Enid
Sally
Mary
Esmeralda (NOT nn Esme though)
Margaret (Maggie)
Juniper
Jean

Any nice sibsets in the bunch for family planning purposes?

Thanks for your time. I'll probably remember some more later!

You asked for honest:

Gwendolen (nn Winnie)horrid
Winifred (nn Winnie) ditto
Iris not bad
Dorothy no one would want to be your friend
Cordelia poncey
Penelope No m'lady
Pearl downmarket
Polly put the kettle on will ya!
Prudence (i ike P's !) okay
Audrey no
Phyllis yuk
Enid again, no
Sally a dog's name
Mary good
Esmeralda (NOT nn Esme though)pretentious
Margaret (Maggie) okay
Juniper FFS
Jean okay

How about Rita or Miriam? Or Velda? Or Clara? Ivy? Jane? Hazel?

matilda's good too (tilly) or elizabeth (libby). Actually I really like the name Jane at the moment and John for a boy. think it's a bit of a backlash against all the stupid, made-up names that are so popular at the moment (not that any of your suggestions are stupid, op!)

Gwendolen (nn Winnie) has this name outlived being the villain in Malory Towers??
Winifred (nn Winnie) nice oldfashioned name. One of my colleagues is called Winni.
Iris - cant like this name
Dorothy - nice
Cordelia - No, makes me think of King Lear
Penelope - nice
Pearl - no
Polly - nice
Prudence (i ike P's !) - yes
Audrey - yes
Phyllis -yes
Enid - why not, its got to come back some time and its a nice name.
Sally - short for Sarah isnt it, along the same lines as Hal and Dal
Mary - yes
Esmeralda (NOT nn Esme though) - are you joking??
Margaret (Maggie) - nn Meg perhaps? v nice name
Juniper - no. no. no. makes me think of gin.
Jean - she will wear thick jerseys and be very sensible.

got to say they all shout "granny" to me
but could grow on me........
not sure really
sorry!
