If you had to pick a name that you would immediately consider 'beautiful' on hearing it, what would it be?

You pronounce it AILEY (Is this better)

dizzydixies · 27/12/2008 21:58

its like Hayley but aleigh if that makes sense?

like a ceilidh (scottish dancing) without the C at the front

UnfortunatelyMe · 27/12/2008 21:58

anya

LiffeyanFiaRua · 27/12/2008 21:59

Juliet, Annabel, Flora, Clara, Marianne, Susannah, Leonora, Emily

There are other names I like but I consider them strong first then beautiful; eg Beatrix, Penelope or Claudia.

Olivia my DD name......i also love the name Grace

girlandboy · 27/12/2008 21:59

Ariadne

I have heard of girls called ceilidh in America, but not with that spelling, however, and it always sounds strange now because people use it as not just a party here but as a verb, as in 'to go ceilidhing' .

Eilidh is Helen in Scots Gaelic, however.

ág rinse is the gaelic for to go ceilidhing.

singyswife · 27/12/2008 22:01

Cerys. I love that name. Also Heather is beautiful.

dizzydixies · 27/12/2008 22:02

Anna
Clementine
Amelie

expatinscotland · 27/12/2008 22:03

i wonder where these Scots got this 'ceilidh' business, then. they have evenings here called 'ceilidhs', and some will call the evening party after their wedding (the marriage is not valid if performed after 6PM) a ceilidh rather than a reception.

expatinscotland · 27/12/2008 22:04

Amelie is lovely . My mother's mother was an Amelie and she was physically a very beautiful woman.

Jazzicatz · 27/12/2008 22:04

Greta

Sparkler · 27/12/2008 22:04

My two dds are Chloe and Lucy - I think they are really pretty names.
Names I also think are beautiful and that I wanted to use before DDs were born but DH didn't like seem to be colours:-
Amber, Jade, Opal, Magenta.
I also think Jasmine is lovely.

dizzydixies · 27/12/2008 22:05

I love the name Amelie too expat but couldn't use it for DD3 as we have one already in our close circle

merrykittymas · 27/12/2008 22:06

I love the name Eilidh would have used it for DD3 but It's too much like DD1's name.

I love Talia DD2's name truly beautiful.
