I like them all, especially Connie. Lovely.

Like all of them but think Verity becoming quite popular.

Constance is overweight, uses talcum powder and has permed hair. She is a pillar of the WI, as you might expect, given the formidable strength of her corsets magic pants.

Verity is tall and willowy, with long hair and a permanently apologetic expression.

Annabel plays tennis with her friend Araminta. Her backhand is fierce and the men at the tennis club ogle her discreetly.

Annabel is rather average compared to the other two. Have you thought about Joy?

Quattrocento - That's awesome and now you say it, I agree!!

Thanks for all replies.

LOL@ Quattrocento's Verity description! Admittedly my Verity is only 22mnths - but she's teeny, fat-legged with curly hair and a fabulous hard-core scowl!

oooh so unfair re constance. I think of constance as studious, fair minded, sensible in a good way.

Verity and Felicity though similar I just don't like at all.

I really reeeally dislike Constance! Can I have a constanent please Carol! Connie is cute, but not at the expense of a horrible first name.

Annabel is nice or Annabelle this is on my list, nn's Annie, Anna, Ann, Belle.

Verity i also really like, think its cute and full of character. nn's Verry? V, Rita

I dislike Verity. It sounds witchy. Annabel is a name for a princess. So Constance gets my vote!
