Help! Are these girls names nice- or poncy beyond belief?

[messydrawers]

Clementine
Cordelia
Augusta
Allegra

Any thoughts?

I love them but then DD3 is cordelia and DH wouldn't have Clementine

Augusta is ok and I'm not keen on Allegra - reminds me of a car for some reason

well you have

Oh My Darling Clemintine

Cordelia is nice though, has good shortening possibilities

Augusta and Allegra are american rich but stupidly dumb teens

HTH

Augusta's a bit poncey. The others are ok.

Clementine, Cordelia and Augusta are posh - Allegra thinks it is.

Clementine - an orange, nice but not uncommon
Cordelia - Bit poncy and namesake ended very sadly dead in King Lear - the character has many positives but the dead at the end bit always put me off using it ( I have three shakespearean girls - Miranda, Rosalind and Beatrice
Augusta - Nice but awfully grand for a wee one. excellent name for an adult though
Allegra - Byron's daughter was an Allegra - died aged about 7 in Venice without either of her parents with her (mother was mary Shelley's sister I think) That always put me off it as well. It is more than a little poncy too....

I actually think Ada is nice also Cecily and of course my girls names

ah but Northern she was the only true loyal daughter and it means Daughter of the Sea with Celtic origins and from Latin for Heart

your girls names are lovely

Northernlurker, I just read that as Asda! Thought it wasn't quite in keeping...

I love Cordeila, not keen on the rest.

Not sure I would call a little girl 'fast woman' - or a car.

Personally I think that sorry, but they are all poncy beyond belief.

Just my opinion though.

p;oncey

I love Cordelia but hate the others.

Clementine makes me think of 'Chubby Clementine' by Bobby Darin.

I like them, especially Clementine.

I think they are both nice and poncey. Except Augusta - which I don't like.

I'm going to buck the trend and say I like Clementine best.

Yup dizzy - principled, loyal - and dead. Very, very dead.

Put me off anyway

Thanks for the compliment - I think they are lovely too We got in to a bit of a theme thing. Dd3 would have been Benedict if a boy and if we had another girl (which we aren't - 3 being enough) I think I would have gone for Viola....

ah we've all got to die at some point though - I have to admit I was a tad swayed by Anne Of Green Gables too

all my girls have poncey names though and I can't wait to shout them in full when they're hiding in the park smoking and drinking cheap cider aged 15

Any name sounds ponctastic in that context.

Except Sharon

I shall be using the full first name AND both middle names each and if I'm very cross I may fling the surname out there too

don't like Clementine. NOt so very keen on Cordelia but it is ok, Augusta is ok. Allegra I quite like - sounds like she could have a bit more pizzazz than the rest.

I don't find they sound particulary posh, except maybe Augusta -rather grand but ok if you can carry it off.

What weegiemum said. I do like Clementine though.

Hmm - mine have only got one middle name and a short surname but the first names are quite full of syllables....so how many have you got? I can muster

5, 5 and 8.......

Gussie I definitely do not like though

including full first names, both middle names and 2 syllable surname we have the following:

DD1 has 8 syllables
DD2 has 11 syllables
DD3 has 10 syllables

and I shall muster my finest weegie accent whilst shouting them like a fishwife all the way down the park

ZZZen - I agree completely - too much like gusset
