Comments on my shortlist please

[libertybear]

Namechanged as some people on here know me and I only want strangers' reactions on the names. Here's our shotlist - any comments? (be nice please!)

girls Christina Annabel Ruth Constance Pippa boys

Michael
Leo
Rob in
David

My preferences in order:

girls-

Annabel -I want this for DC2 but already have an Abigail so far to similiar sounding it would get very confusing!
Pippa
Christina

Boys-

Michael
Leo
David

Girls -
Christina -- nice
Annabel -- nice
Ruth -- love
Constance -- love, and also love Constanza
Pippa -- insubstantial but ok

Boys -
Michael -- love
Leo -- love
Robin -- like a lot
David -- like a lot

Be nice? Oh ok.

Christina - not keen
Annabel - do not like this name at all, v twee
Ruth - I like this a lot
Constance - I like this
Pippa - oh no, terrible frippery

_boys

Michael - yes, good strong name
Leo - not for me
Rob in - I am very keen on robin (not sure why, it just appeals)
David - a little dull

re seeker's point - my dds moan about all names I might have called them and rant about how that name would have ended their lives. It's middle-of-the-road hysteria and nothing to do with the name

I love Ruth and Constance. Don't like Pippa.

I totally, totally adore Robin. Don't like Leo.

My dds do the howling thing too - or the accusing 'why didn't you call me such and such?' thing. DD1 wants her middle name to be her first name and snorts when we tell her she would have been Laurence, had she been a boy. They are never satisfied!

Only Christina of the girls.

Love, love love Michael and David is a great name.

Annabel and Constance and Michael are the ones I like.

Fave girl - Christina. Quite like Constance but think she'd have to be quite sure of herself to pull it off. Sorry don't like Pippa.

Love Leo and Robin. Do like Michael but a little boring, and definately not David. Every other bloke i seem to meet is called Dave (and you know this is what he'll get called whether you like it or not)

Ruth or Constance

Michael or Leo

From OP list: Annabel and Michael

Annabel (pf Annabelle) and Constance are my favourites of the girls.

Robin and Leo from the boys.

Taught 2 Constances - very strong but likeable girls
Leo is your best boy's name
End of the day, don't worry what others think go with your heart.
