Cadence? Romilly? Augusta? Opinions please!

[msdee]

Still at the talking DH round to the idea of kids at mo and am whiling away the days planning names, these are my faves at present, what do you think? Naff or not?
I also like Alice and Elsie, Esme but think these are getting v popular. Help

I really like your names, esp Cadence and Augusta. Also like Clowance if you're looking for similar.

And welcome

You can only call her Cadence if she is perfect. It would be handy at the toddler stage when she wanders off from tasks, then she could be both imperfect and interrupted.

The many uses of a music degree.

What about Allegra? Similar but not as (ahem) pretentious perhaps?

No, no and no I'm afraid. May be just my opinion but they are all ummm...how to say this...horrible. Sorry

my friend's daughter is Romily and shortened to Romy, which I prefer. another friend has a daughter called Remy

I only like Alice out of the choice.

Romilly ok. Romola also good. There's an actress called Romola Garai who was in the recent adaptation of I Capture the Castle (fab book too btw).

Cadence - no. Suggestion of Cadenza interesting. Carenza?

Augusta - I could be swayed. Or August? Character in Atwood book called August.

Ramona?

Romana!

I'll be interested to know what you choose when the great day finally comes. Will you post again?

It'll be none of these you know ... you'll have changed your mind fifty times!

LOVE the name cadence/kadence.

'The girl's name Kadence \k(a)-den-ce, kad(e)-nce\ is a variant of Cadence (Latin) and Kadenza (Latin), and the meaning of Kadence is "with rhythm". '

Prefer Candace to Cadence. Candida, Camilla and Camille worth a look too. Clementine? It's cute!

Alice Alice Alice Alice....beautiful !!, we have an Alice, everyone who asks her name say how lovely it is !!, it isn't too common either !. xx It is always good to have a few around anyway as you know it is a well loved name ! xx If it is a popular name, it is boring after a while

Cadence and Romilly are lovely. Augusta I, personally, don't like

Cadence and Romilly are lovely
Augusta is awful though

Dont like Cadensc but Romilly is relaly pretty

I really like Romilly!

Romilly is okay - the other two are far too poncey imo - and not in a nice way - sorry....

Oh no, not Cadence under any circumstances. I worked for a company where we always had blardy "Cadence Calls". Several times a day. I never really understood what it meant, and I never asked (sadly, I never cared enough to). Funnily enough, the company was American.

Elsie & Esme are both nice.

Alice is lovely.

My daughter is called Romilly Sophia, she is absolutely gorgeous. Everyone who meets her, even those that do not, love her name. As she is so adorable she does this very pretty name a great service.

It comes French villages, Jean Romilly (DOB 1715 Paris) the French clock maker to Royalty and Agustus John (Circa 1850) the English artist who named his daughter this previously surname only, as her first or Christian name. It apparently means Walker or those that like to go on adventures

How about Elsa - it is less popular than Elsie.

They sound like you are trying too hard, sorry

Well I like them all. Especially Romilly

Alice and Esme are both really lovely names.

Cadence is terrible imho and I don't like the other two either, sorry.
