That is a long shortlist.
I'd say they are all fine apart from Mariella and I'm not sure about Lilian. Shouldn't it have another "L">

Matilda or Isobel

both lovely names

wonderstuff · 20/07/2008 12:01

Matilda makes me think Dahl and Mariella, I think Frostrop, but like the others, Rosalind is my fave.

sannie · 20/07/2008 13:50

Madlentileater · 20/07/2008 13:55

Isabel
Imogen
Matilda
Sophia

Not necessarily in that order!

I love Matilda, Imogen, Sophia and Juliet. All lovely, lovely names. The others are quite nice too.

MKG · 20/07/2008 14:47

I love Imogen.

hunkermunker · 20/07/2008 14:49

Love Imogen and Sophia.

LaDiDaDi · 20/07/2008 14:50

I love Isobel, Imogen and Matilda and like all of the others apart from Lilian.

norkmaiden · 20/07/2008 15:01

Cecilia or Matilda

TillyScoutsmum · 20/07/2008 15:03

Matilda and Juliet are my favorites . Cecilia is pretty too

hw2004 · 20/07/2008 16:10

You've picked lovely names although not sure on Matilda. I particularly like Juliet (although not sure of Julie as a shortened version), Imogen and Cecilia.

cece · 20/07/2008 16:12

Lillian - think has 2 l in the middle doesn't it?

Mariella - could grow on me.

FabioUnblogged · 20/07/2008 16:17

yes

elijahblue · 20/07/2008 16:43

Sophia or Isobel

mosschops30 · 20/07/2008 16:56

I only like Imogen

nickeldime · 20/07/2008 17:03

I like Zoe. It's short and sweet, which probably explains its recent surge in popularity: www.babynamespedia.com/meaning/Zoe

WelliesAndPyjamas · 20/07/2008 17:05

Mariella

olyoly · 20/07/2008 17:57

I like Cecelia

Nancy66 · 20/07/2008 18:06

Matilda is my favourite from your list.
Rosalind and Juliet are my least favourite.

janeite · 20/07/2008 18:14

Lovely list!

I especially like:
Cecilia
Juliet
Rosalind
Isobel

I don't like Zoe or Mariella.

ByTheSea · 20/07/2008 18:16

They are all nice names, but I like Juliet and Mariella best.

ilovemydog · 20/07/2008 18:20

AbbeyA · 20/07/2008 18:25

All except Mariella.
