Daphne or Penelope, Cassia or Isadora, Juliet or Helena?

[missgenevieveclavel]

Which are your favourites out of these pairs of names?

Which is your favourite and least favourite of all and why, if possible?

Also, do you know any under 5s who have these names and do you think any of them are about to have a surge in popularity?

Thanks

Another vote for Helena and Juliet (although I prefer the Juliette spelling )

Daphne - it's an old lady's name. I dont like at all. My granny has a friend called Daphne

Penelope - love. I went to school with a Penelope, we all called her Penny, and she was very bubbly happy go lucky person

Cassia - dont know any, and dont like

Isadora - dont know any and dont like

Juliet - love, I have only met one (mid 30s)

Helena - love, I have met two. A lady in her 70s, and another the same age as me (late 20s). Each lovely, and neither shortened it.

Do you like the name Judith, I love this name, but DH wont consider it.

Juliet and Helena. But if I was allowed to swap, my very favourite would be Cassia. In order, it would be: Cassia; Helena; Juliet; Isadora; Daphne; and Penelope.

Favourites - Penelope, Isadora, Helena

least favourite - Daphne - sounds so old fashioned without being classical... daft daphne

favourite - Helena - how could you not be elegant with this name?!

I know one person called Cassia, one Helena and one called Juliette - none under 5. I don't think any will be in the top 10 names of 2011.

I liked Cassia for DC3, but DH didn't (turned out to be a boy anyway).

Daphne and Helena
