I love Erin, like JEmima and am meh about Carmen

Jenice · 12/01/2009 14:18

Love Erin but not at all keen on the others I'm afraid.

Nancy66 · 12/01/2009 14:19

I like Erin but not the other two.

backalleysally · 12/01/2009 14:20

Erin is lovely.

Not keen on Carmen and Jemima though.

belgo · 12/01/2009 14:21

Carmen is lovely, so is Jemima.

Not so keen on Erin.

What about Jasmine?

BarbarellaNz · 12/01/2009 15:18

Erin

gladders · 12/01/2009 15:27

not keen on any.... forced to pick one, i might choose jemima but it would make me think of the ragdoll on playschool.... (showing my age there...)

MrsBadger · 12/01/2009 15:28

Actually I quite like all three [knocks self over with feather]

MrsDoylesMole · 12/01/2009 15:28

Erin and carmen are the nicest imo.

Tommy · 12/01/2009 15:29

Carmen is my lovely friend who is right now walking DS1 home from school as a favour - so that's obviously a nice name

Erin - very nice too

Jemima - will always be the rag doll on Playschool to me but you may be a bit younger than me (probably) and have no idea what that is!

LiffeyMermaid · 12/01/2009 15:31

Carmen - no me gusta

Jemima - lovely
Erin - cheap packet soup

Bubbaluv · 12/01/2009 15:32

Like the first 2, but not Erin.

Servalan · 12/01/2009 15:56

Carmen and Erin - fab

Jemima - yes, rag doll on Playschool for me too. And Puddleduck. Not keen personally.

thumbwitch · 12/01/2009 15:58

Jemima will always be the playschool doll for me too.
Carmen - no, too Miranda
Erin - ok but a little on the lotsabout side.

LightShinesInTheDarkness · 12/01/2009 16:12

i like Miranda

BonsoirAnna · 12/01/2009 16:13

Jemima is pretty. I don't like Carmen or Erin one little bit.

kerala · 12/01/2009 16:13

Fine except for Carmen. Brings to mind women in flamenco dress with lots of make up heel stamping

SilentTerror · 12/01/2009 16:15

Jemima gorgeous.
Erin ok
Don't like Carmen

SoLongMarianne · 12/01/2009 16:19

Jemima ok for well heeled girl in a straw boater dominated school uniform
Carmen nice for a Spanish baby
Erin alright

thumbwitch · 12/01/2009 16:29

lol kerala - my flamenco teacher was called Carmen!

mrsjuan · 12/01/2009 18:01

I like them all! In order of preference:
Erin
Carmen
Jemima

daisy5 · 12/01/2009 22:52

I love Carmen - the most beautiful little girl at junior school was called Carmen and I've loved the name since
I like Jemima - when I see Jemima Khan in the magazines I never think of a ragdoll. It has a nice sing-song ring to it.
Erin seems quite a dull name to me - very flat name - hard to put any zapp into it.

LittleMissBliss · 12/01/2009 22:55

i like Erin

edam · 12/01/2009 22:58

Carmen - no, I know people under my grandmother's age probably haven't heard of Carmen Miranda but still.

Jemima - no, Playschool + US packet cake mix.

Erin - fine if you are Irish, bit off if you aren't. IMO

Cheekster · 12/01/2009 22:59

Erin - ok
Carmen - no
Jemima - def no - although it does remind me of the sweet girl from chitty chitty bang bang
