What do you think of Beryl??
I think i am starting to love it, but would love some opinions please (I have no intentions of talking about names in rl as evryone goes [hmm[!).
Does it go well with Eli, Amos, Pearl and Iris?
Is it going to become immensely trendy/faddy as i am really trying to avoid anything faddy if at all possible.
TIA

tummy I love all your DCs names.

I like "old lady" names (like Pearl), but Beryl is one step too far. IMO. However, give it 5 years ........

What about Connie ? (my nanna's name)

total i love Sylvie !

Like it, it's unusual, reminds me a bit of The Liver Birds from TV a longish time ago. It's a kind of semiprecious stone I think, so kind of goes with Pearl, in a way.

Nope - don't like it. Had a horrible boss once called Beryl who was a complete and utter dragon with tight perm and a strange ideas about staff management.

Don't think there is any danger of Beryl becoming immensely trendy/faddy.

awful

Well, thanks for the opinions.
I have a VERY long list of both boy and girls names, so maybe i will stick it at the bottom,, and see if it is a grower.
I like it, it has a lovely soft sound, fits nicely with the siblings, but i worry about the Emmerdale thing - i dont watch soaps so was unaware!
Maybe when i am brave enough i will post my giant lists!

I like the names of your other dc but I really don't like Beryl.
