yes to the top 4 - all lovely

clara - not sure, could be a grower

don't like the other 3

Everyone seems to like Clara these days! It's my name but I struggled all my life with pronunciation as I am Clara to ryhme with Bearer rather than Clara to rhyme with Zara.

I like Megan and quite like Nancy but not keen on any of the others.

tansy is great for little girl but cant imagine adult called it...
judy is actually really cute...
zara is nice too...

AnnieGG · 31/03/2010 20:13

Is Clare a pronunciation a common one? as I wanted to pronounce it the same as Zara.

Most people would rhyme it with Zara, I have only met one or two others pronounced my way.

Btw it means egg white in Spanish. (as well as clear!).

Love Constance with nn Connie. Quite like Nancy too!

BessieBoots · 31/03/2010 20:17

Megan- Don't know about anywhere else, but here in Wales there are loads of Megans...
Zara- Clothes shop I can't afford to buy from
Constance- LOVE it. Classy. Elegant.
Nancy- Lovely
Verona- Not keen, a bit Verruca for me
Clara- Love it. Reminds me of Back to the Future III, and that Clara was the classiest...
Judy (not Judith)- And Richard
Aurelia- reminds me of ruffled shirts (not in a good way)
Tansy- Love this too.

How about Posy?

Megan - like it but don't love it. Welsh for Margaret? Prefer just margaret with all its nick names. Maggie, Greta
Zara - I like it
Constance - no. Horribly Severe. Sounds really grouchy and dour.
Nancy - I like it.
Verona- hmm, I'm not sure. It might grow on me.
Clara - lovely name.
Judy (not Judith) - no.
Aurelia - no.
Tansy - I love this one! is it a flower? it sounds like one, but I don't know which.

If you didn't want to put Tansy on the birth cert you could put Tamara or Tegan Anneliese? Actually, I prefer Tegan to Megan. (I know they don't rhyme. I just htink TEgan is a bit more interesting) tiggy for short is cute too.

ozmetric · 31/03/2010 20:21

I like Megan, Zara, Constance, Clara.

Magaly · 31/03/2010 20:24

Constance is revolting and everybody loves it on MN!!! What next? do you lot like Prudence as well? Chastity? I will have to rearrange my face really quickly if I meet a baby Constance in rl!

HumphreyCobbler · 31/03/2010 20:27

I have a Clara. Definitely on the up. In the top hundred in the US, top ten in France.

Still about number 300 here though.

There are lots of Megans round here.

I know a Tansy too.

madly · 31/03/2010 20:42

Constance is such a beautiful name. Love Clara too.!

notsochickchickchicken · 31/03/2010 20:42

Love Megan, Zara and Nancy.

Tansy is ok but much prefer Tamsin.

The others are not my cup of tea.

HumphreyCobbler · 31/03/2010 20:48

Prudence is a great name

MinnieMalone · 31/03/2010 20:57

Nancy is nice

Zara and Clara are both lovely

Constance and Aurelia quite nice.

The rest - NO.
