Which of these names for a baby girl?

[FaceOrf]

DH and I seem to have different tastes in names and we have finally compiled a list of some we both like. Would like to know other people’s impressions of them. Help us narrow them down!

Phillipa
Ottilie
Candace
Pandora
Henrietta
Juliet
Clementine

I think its just because Hetty/Hettie is a cute nickname.
I know a few Hattie's as well.

OP

Prefer Harriet for posh sounding H names though.

Pippa maybe, or Juliet.

I know a Josephine which fits those names as well.

On the whole, not keen on any on your list.

Clementine sounds ok as it is, but a nickname of Clem is a bit, well, like a chesty cough.

Phillipa - it's Philippa. Best on your list when spelt properly.
Ottilie - fashionable. I don't like it
Candace - Not keen at all. Seems American and dated
Pandora - cheap jewellery
Henrietta - OK, a bit long
Juliet - Pretty but will be Jools
Clementine - Satsuma.

Phillipa - OK. Pip / Pippa are goon n names
Ottilie - Good
Candace - no
Pandora - no. Box. Jewellery
Henrietta - ok
Juliet - good
Clementine - v good

Juliet is lovely!

Phillipa- like w nn Pippa; though possibly slightly frumpy?
Ottilie- ok but trendy and probably will date
Candace- don’t like this one, sounds downmarket and dated
Pandora- love though some will say tied to Pandora’s box
Henrietta- like, could nn Etta
Juliet- love
Clementine- love love love

@Dillanegasms , it is usually Philippa. I know several. I've not seen a different spelling other than on here.

I like Clementine, Juliet, and Henrietta, in that order. Not keen on the others.

Juliet - beautiful
Henrietta - a nice and underused classic
Phillipa - same vein as Henrietta. Classic and rare these days.

Ottilie - sounds like Otterly to my ears or makes me think of Ottoman
Pandora - awful
Clementine - OK but don't love it
Cadence - awful

May I suggest Helena, Lydia or Louisa? Alexandra?

Sorry just realised I misspelled Candace and Philipa

Juliet

there rest are far too frilly

@Waitingforspring77 , it is Philippa, 1L, 2Ps

I like Philippa and Juliet

Juliet ( and when she is older and wants to change it up, she can be Jools

Ottilie and Phillipa are lovely - Tillie/Ottie/Pippa really nice nicknames too.

Juliet is sweet too, as long as she doesn’t get called Julie 🥴

Not keen on any of your other options.

Juliet is the only one I like.

I heard one the other day.
lavender. I just love it.

There's nothing wrong with Julie though, it's actually a really pretty name. I wouldn't use it though because of reactions like yours. And it would make a much prettier shortening of Juliet than 'Jools' which could be seen as quite masculine. Why is Juliet magically acceptable but Julie not?

It's all because it was very popular here in the 60s, so it's therefore associated in your minds with older women in their 50s and 60s. The horror.
But to me, Julies were my contemporaries. My first memory of a Julie was the blonde little girl 2 doors down, and playing in our gardens in the summer. Nice memories.

And, not to forget, in France Julie IS the classic form of the name, here that would be Julia.
Julie needs bringing back, and I am sure it will be one day.

Juliet is very cute

I love Philippa nn Pippa and considered it for DD2.
I also like Henrietta nn Hettie / Ettie.
Candace is quite nice too and a bit more unusual.
Juliet is ok, a little dated maybe.
Ottilie I quite like but I think it’s too trendy and may date badly.
Clementine isn’t my taste but I don’t hate it.
Pandora is my least favourite because of the “Pandoras box” association.

What a good list! I like all of them apart from Pandora.
Juliet, Henrietta and Phillipa are especially lovely imo.

Juliet 100%

Really dislike Pandora and Henrietta.

Ottilie is nice but very popular right now.

I like Juliette but not the others

I love Ottilie.

Don't like Pandora at all (for obvious reasons).

Of the others I'd probably pick Clementine.

Pandora
