I love Abigail

I quite like Penelope but it's my mum's name so the phrase "mad old bat" springs to mind, spoiling it for me

In order, nicest (imo) first

Abigail
Matilda
Alice
Penelope
Evelyn

Rosalie
Tessa
Annabel

I like Talia, Abigail and Matilda. Not fond of the others though sorry.

GladioliBuckets · 18/05/2010 18:09

Don't like Talia, something a bit thick-yuppy-wife about it, like those Harry Enfield sketches 'I saw you coming.'

Matilda my fave.

mathanxiety · 18/05/2010 18:37

Matilda, Tess (prefer over Tessa) and Alice.

CantSupinate · 18/05/2010 18:44

I dislike Matilda, just doesn't sound that nice and I even more dislike the Roald Dahl story of same name. Tilda (Tilly) is ok, though.

Rest are ok, I suppose Tessa would be my fave on that list.

loobylu3 · 18/05/2010 19:28

Abigail- okay
Matilda- lovely!
Alice- beautiful- one of my favourite classics!
Penelope- love!
Evelyn- v nice.
Talia- nice too, prefer as nn for Natalia
Rosalie- v nice.
Tessa- love Tess, Tessa okay.

Matilda and Penelope are lovely names.

Quite like Annabel.

DeFluffy · 19/05/2010 18:13

My dd is Evelyn, she is known as Evie now which is quite a sweet young name but then hs a 'more mature' name for when older - Evelyn. You don't get that imo with names like 'poppy'.

We considered Matilda too, very pretty.

Talia -don't like.

Tessa - don't like remembers me of sanderson and jowell.

Evelyn
Tessa

Quite like

Talia (if short for something eg Natalia)
Rosalie (prefer Rosalind though, less wet)

Not so keen

Penelope
Abigail
Alice

Really don't like

Matilda (ugly sound to my ears)
