Yes to Clementine, Viola and Pearl

Dinah - i could be persuaded but Dana is nice

babette - is it French?

eliza - hmm - maybe

mamie - no

congrats on your PG

I like Babette - I think it's cute and I love Betty and that could be a shortening of Babette. But we have no French connections, so to speak, and it could be pretentious.

Eliza - increasingly popular among chattering clases for good reason. It's pretty. I know one.

Clementine - I know one of these too. Same as Eliza. Like Tabitha etc, I think this is on an up curve.

Babette - unusual and nice, I like.

Viola - like Violet this is going to become trendy I think

Mamie - not for me. A bit too Guys and Dolls but I can see why you like it.

Pearl - yes, I like this.

Dinah - definitely my favourite. I also love Diana.

Babette would be my favourite from your list. I do like Viola but always worry it could be 'viler' in the playground.

congradulations on your pg hun

I think eliza is probably my fave

I started thinking about names at about 8 weeks... BIG mistake iv changed the name so many times iv got 2 days to go and iv only just about picked a name lolxxx

Then I do wonder about a name with the word 'bab' in it. My brothers used 'bab' as another word for poop.

hmmm not my kind of names
fave out of the lot is Eliza but prefer Elise

AuroraB · 13/03/2009 18:30

my dog is called Babette! (don't let that put you off, she's a very ladylike dog)

it's an amazing name, she's Babs or B for short

spicemonster · 13/03/2009 18:34

I like them all except Mamie. My ex-neighbour who is a tv personality has a daughter called Babette

wibblewobbly · 13/03/2009 18:35

Sorry dont like any of them.

Same as RachieB - prefer Elise

LittleMissWorryHead · 13/03/2009 19:05

Clementine - Fabulous!
