Tongue in cheek title as my colleague joked I ĺiked "Tory" names. Anyway, we're down to the last three - I have a strong favourite, DH has a strong favourite and the third is more of a compromise. So interesting to see what the consensus here is! If it helps, (potential) DD most likely won't be going to state in case there are any comments about potential bullying...

I love Portia. I know it's not one of your choices. I chose Cressida as the least worst of those!

Secret passion for elegant, classical (and Shakespearean) Cressida - but it is a rare one and stands out.

Plus I do love the pretty and straightforward nn Gwen and Gwendoline might stand out the least of your 3 picks (although again, secretly love Gwen as a nn for more out there , romantic sounding Guinevere or Gwyneira) .

Least keen on Henrietta - bit too stereotypical boarding school and harsher sounding.

Thanks everyone for voting! I'm quite surprised DH's choice won by quite a margin though. I had half a mind not to tell him...

I like Henrietta obviously as it's in the Final Three but I'm not so keen on any of the shortenings esp Hetty. I already have a daughter with a 4 syllable name who doesn't actually recognise it (parenting fail) as her 2 syllable nickname is the norm. But I cannot ignore the Mumsnet majority!

The Gwendoline spelling is because I grew up loving Malory Towers so it looks more 'right' to me 🤷🏼‍♀️
