Sorry but I think they are dreadful. The only ones I would even contemplate are Betty and Nancy.

randomimposter · 10/01/2010 21:27

I like Nancy.... not keen on any of the others. Ramona at a push...

differentID · 10/01/2010 21:30

Are you in the US?

The only reaosn I ask is that if you are British, no one who thought about consequences for their child would go for the name Gaye.

Plus there is something aboiut that list that screams American at me.

Betty as a nn for Elizabeth and Nancy is sweet. Not sure on the other tbh.

I like Marlie

Olga is awful

LetThereBeRock · 10/01/2010 21:31

They're all awful particuarly Imahgyn.

NadiaWadia · 10/01/2010 21:32

Ramona is the only nice one in my opinion.

Imahjyn - is this a fancy spelling of Imogen? (which is lovely with the normal spelling)

paisleyleaf · 10/01/2010 21:33

I like Ramona.

MumNWLondon · 10/01/2010 22:27

I like Elliah (one I know know spelt Elia) and Ramona (I know a Rimona which I also like).

But can't imagine who would call their child Gaye.

And how do you pronounce Imahijn - if Imogen why not go with normal spelling?

bellissima · 11/01/2010 07:24

Nancy or Betty.

MamaLazarou · 11/01/2010 07:28

I like Ramona and Nancy, and Betty as an abbreviation of Elizabeth. You have GOT to be joking with Gaye and 'Imahjin', though.

GetOrfMoiLand · 11/01/2010 07:59

Marlie - no - daft
Deanna (Dee-Anna) - dear god no, awful
Ramona - the nanny from Cold Feet
Scarlah - eh? nonsense name
Elliah (Ell as in Eliphant...Ell-eye-yah) - nope, poor kid will constantly have to spell it out
Gaye - do you not like your baby?
Nancy - this is a great name
Betty - another nice name on the normal spectrum.
Olga - hmm, yes OK but nothing special. At least it isn't made up though.
Imahjyn - what fresh hell is this? No, vile
Cairo - only if baby was concieved there. And actually even if it was it is still a stupid name for a child.
Willamena (Willi for short) - spelt wrong. Should be Whilhelmina. OK I suppose.

diddl · 11/01/2010 08:03

Imahjyn-oh my, I´ve seen it all now!

Is that Imogen or Imagine?

legallyblond · 11/01/2010 10:51

Umm... I think this list is a joke... it must be, no?!

GetOrfMoiLand · 11/01/2010 15:56

Is this OP for real?

mathanxiety · 11/01/2010 18:48

Marlie -- OK
Deanna (Dee-Anna) -- This is an old lady with a blue rinse from Oklahome name
Ramona -- OK
Scarlah -- This is north side of Dublinese for Scarlet, which is nor a great name to begin with, imo
Elliah (Ell as in Eliphant...Ell-eye-yah) -- too like a boy's name, Elijah, and also made up. Are you aiming for Aaliyah?
Gaye -- NO, please don't do this to a child
Nancy OK As nn for Anne
Betty -- OK
Olga -- OK
Imahjyn -- Imahjyn there's no heaven (this is a silly made up spelling for Imogen, right?)
Cairo -- Are you really serious?????
Willamena (Willi for short) -- Wilhelmina is the usual spelling, and please don't call anyone Willi, pronounced Willie, I assume)

So, Marlie, Ramona, Betty; Nancy and Olga marginally ok (but only if you pronounce Olga Russian-wise, with a very soft G sound)
