shortlist of girl's names- please could I have your comments?

[penelopestrawberry]

We are trying to put together a shortlist for a baby girl. I had been v keen on Penelope but have had a couple of negative comments from family/ friends. It's still on the list but I have quite a few others on there too! We prefer something fairly unusual.

Penelope
Allegra
Vivian
Isadora
Genevieve
Francesca

Which do you all like/dislike?

I like all of these choices. V much depends on your last name and any middle names.

Vivienne another nice spelling. COnsidered Genevieve ourselves at various pts as a family name.

Penelope
Allegra
Vivian
Isadora
Genevieve
Francesca

Oh well, if you call her Genevieve at least you will be very sure she never ends up with a French boyfriend or husband

Maybe she could have a French sugar daddy Anna!

I know a little 9 year old French girl called Eileen. Her parents obviously thought this name is beautiful....

who'd want a boyfriend who judged you on your name????

i actually rather like genevieve. LOVE isadora thouigh

The only Penelopes I know are always called Penny-which I personally don't like, but think Penelope is due a revival.

Like Vivienne - the only half decent name Angelina Jolie has ever chosen.
Vivian reminds me of the young ones.

Isadora I like but think it is a very frilly name which you either love or hate.

Genevive is not to my taste. Neither is Allegra and Francesca is ok.

I think Eileen could get fashionable again

I like Penelope but then ds is very into Thunderbirds right now.

If we used Penelope, would have Nell or maybe Poppy as a nn, as not keen on Penny.
