What do you think of these names, and what middle names would you put with them? And which do you think would go well as sisters?

Ideas I have:
Jemima Alice
Jemima Clementine
Alice Lucinda Rose
Alice Jemima Rose
Lucinda Beatrix Rose
Lucinda Clementine
Tabitha Cecily Rose

Any more suggestions very welcome. Thank you.

Jemima Cecily, my DD2!

I love Tabitha

From your list, I love Jemima - Its classic, beautiful sounding, normal name without being overly popular.

Tabitha reminds me of a cat I'm afraid - and I'm sure other people would also think this (so would it bother you if people thought 'cat' when they met your daughter???)

Alice is nice, but somewhat boring - perhaps use it as a middle name??

Lucinda, just seems a bit too try hard for me. Prefer Lucy (unusally for me, as I don't normally like -ie/y endings on names!)

I think Jemima Alice sounds nice!

I prefer Lucy or Lucia to Lucinda, agree it sounds a bit 'hard'. Also Beatrix - I prefer Beatrice, which sounds and looks prettier. I love the shortening 'Bea/Bee' too.

Not as keen on Tabitha and Jemima, although they are ok. Alice is pretty.

I like them all except I'm not overly fond of Tabitha. I think Beatrix is adorable, and I agree with Astrophe that Bee/Bea is a cute nickname.

I like Jemima and Tabitha but I love Beatrix and think Bea is so cute when they are younger

SilentTerror · 15/02/2009 18:49

Jemima beautiful,classic and not over used,imo.But I am biased

I think you will be branding your daughters with a class tattoo - which will be fine if you send them to private schools but might be unhelpful in the state sector imo

Excuse an American's lack of knowledge about UK education, won't you? Are your state schools like our public ones here? I assume so. Do most students go to state schools or private ones?

Sorry, I know that's not what the thread's about. I was just wondering.
