I like Beatrice the best.

Not keen on Arabella, Henrietta or Penelope.

PuppyMonkey · 18/08/2008 12:03

Oh dear, none are really my cup of tea.

Arabella ok. Isabella nicer

Beatrix is my fav

Mamazon · 18/08/2008 12:04

I have an Eleanor(a) so obviously that is the bestest

but i also really love the idea of very pretty girls names that can be shortened to boys names if the girl is of a more...hmm errrm sporty? persausion. so really like henrietta, it was on my list for dd.

None of them, I'm afraid. If pushed I would say Beatrice. The rest of them are just....trying a bit too hard.

I like:

Clementine
Beatrice/ Beatrix
Penelope
Eleanor(a)

Not too keen on Arabella/ Henrietta personally

FloraBee · 18/08/2008 13:56

Like Beatrix best (biased), and Clementine is lovley too.

pagwatch · 18/08/2008 13:58

I like Clementine. But I love Clem and Clemmie too.
I like Eleanora too
Loath Penelope

dinny · 18/08/2008 14:02

am thinking of Clementine if I have a girl

love Beatrix too - much more than BeatRICE

and love Xanthe

I don't like any of them, I'm afraid. Eleanor is lovely without the redundant extra 'a' at the end.

MrsMattie · 18/08/2008 14:11

All a bit 'Mitford Sisters'-esque for my tastes.

Beatrice my least worst.

Very Chalet School!
