ReneRusso's baby name shortlist

[ReneRusso]

Here's the shortlist of baby names I'm considering that I generated with Mumsnet's Baby Name Finder. Let me know what you think.

Girls
Abigail
Harriet
Katie
Leonie
Madeline
Matilda
Olivia

I like Katie but would register a longer name to give her a choice when she's older.
I quite like them all. Maybe Olivia best.

I like Harriet, Katie (but even better with a y) and Matilda.

thanks, bumping though - any more views please?

Katie - but go for Katherine/Kathryn. I have one I planned to call Katie but she didn't ever look like one and at 10 she has chosen Kathy and it is soooo cool!

Like Matilda best then Harriet

they're all ok apart from Leonie which isn't to my taste

Harriet, Madeleine, Matilda and Olivia are my favourites. I know loads of little girls called Olivia but it is popular for a reason, it is a beautiful name. Those four names were also in our top ten, my particular favourite is Harriet which you don't hear of that often.

What are your other daughters called?

Madeline but spelled Madeleine.

I'd hazard a guess that all the others apart from maybe Harriet and Leonie are in the girls Top 10.

I like Harriet best. I wanted it for dd2 but dp didn't. I STILL think it would have suited her, nearly 13 years later!

dollshouse, they are called Amelia and Isobel. They were relatively unusual at the time, honest.
I know they're (nearly) all quite common, and yes I'm really boring. I don't really go for wacky names.

Olivia

not keen on Abigail or Leonie. Like the rest, particularly Matilda and Katie.

Harriet

Amelia, Isobel and Harriet are gorgeous together.

Leonie and Olivia.

Abigail

They aren't boring they are lovely and your choices all go really well together.

Harriet, Matilda and Olivia all lovely. Kate is much nicer than Katie, I think.

Leonie seems sort of old-fashioned (in a 70s way) to me, not sure why. Don't like either Abigail or Madeline.

Harriet is my top choice.

Matilda is gorgeous.

DH vetoed Matilda, looks like it might be down to Olivia and Harriet...

Abigail - not so keen, but do like Abi as a nn
Harriet - again, not sure, but like Hattie as a nn
Katie - fine, although think this is a nn and would prefer a full version in birth cert
Leonie - don't like
Madeline - ok
Matilda - love
Olivia - pretty

Abigail and Madeleine (spelt this way) are my favourites.

Love them all except Leonie

Rene don't worry about popularity because I tried my best to pick what I thought was an unpopular name for dd1,
the exact words of the midwife were Ahh you never hear old names like that anymore, but all I ever hear now are little girls with her name, I still love it though

I have a Matilda, I love Harriet but it doesn't work with our surname (plus I know about 5 around here), and Olivia is lovely - but very popular, although as others have said, with good reason! The others are a bit 'meh' to me......
