Nice set of names I like all of them, apart from Beatrix (prefer Beatrice) and Valentina. Prefer Sophia spelling for Sofia.

Serafina - I prefer Seraphine. It's a nice name, though.

Estella - again, prefer Estrella, but it's nice.

Beatrix - again prefer beatrice, but nice.

Natalia - prefer Thalia

Valentina - very pretty.

Emilia, Violet & Sofia - not keen. Violets are everywhere, as are Amelias (which is really very close to Emilia).

I was going to say the same thing PollyTicks. Won't Emilia be forever misheard as 'Amelia'?

I love Beatrix

Jamieandhismagictorch · 08/05/2010 15:37

I like Natalia and Valentina (my favourite)

Also : Claudia, Serena

Prefer Estelle or Violet

Estella is not my kind of name,but all the others are lovely.

gypsycurlytots · 09/05/2010 08:59

They are all really nice

I love Beatrix and Violet. I like Valentina too, but not keen on potiental nn Val or Tina.

Serafina - love this name.

Estella - like it but know one who always gets called Stella and has to correct 'no Estella with an E'. Annoying for her.

Beatrix - like it but not as pretty as some of the others.

Natalia - love this one too.

Emilia - like it but agree with PollyTicks, too close to Amelia which is very popular.

Valentina - also love this one too.

Violet - like it but getting too popular and will date.

Sofia - like it but way too popular along with nickname Sofi/Sophie.

Thanks for your comments. Mixed responses! What sort of person do you imagine with each name?
