I have started a couple of threads recently with some initial thoughts. I am trying to make a list of the girl's names that I like but there are quite a few at the moment! Apologies as some have been on recent threads.
Some of them may be down to pregnancy madness- please let me know....

Leonora
Tullia
Calliope
Gwendoline
Cosima
Juniper
Isadora
Genevieve
Aurora

Less unusual ones:
Camille/ ?? Camilia maybe
Flora
Penelope

diplodoris- I quite like Aurelia but not as much as Aurora. I just wonder if they are both too much of a mouthful!

Leonora -- LOVE
Tullia -- dislike
Calliope -- meh
Gwendoline -- like
Cosima -- LOVE
Juniper -- dislike
Isadora -- LOVE
Genevieve -- ok
Aurora -- dislike

Less unusual ones:
Camille/ Camilia -- prefer Camille to Camilia
Flora -- dislike
Penelope -- ok

LOVE Leonora, Cosima and Isadora, and like Camille and Gwendolene (spelled with the E)

mathanxiety- I love Gwendolene spelt like this! I also like this too: Gwendolen but perhaps your spelling is even nicer!

The only spelling I'm not keen on is Gwendolyne.

Like Juniper & Flora.

missgenevieveclavel · 19/06/2010 21:16

Okay, I think Juniper and Tullia are off the list

I like them all except Tullia and Aurora. Aurora has become too Disney Princess!

Leonora - Sounds a bit old ladyish
Tullia- not into this, will people mishear this as Julia?
Calliope- sorry this reminds me of "calipers" or heaven forbid- calippo iced 'treats'
Gwendoline- LOVE THIS
Cosima- not into this one
Juniper- dont really like the Gin reference here
Isadora - not sure about this
Genevieve- LOVE THIS, its one of my favourites
Aurora- also really love this too!

Less unusual ones:
Camille/ ?? Camilia maybe - I like this
Flora- I LOVE THIS
Penelope- not sure about this, its ok....

sorry

Isadora,Camille or Camilia and Flora absolutely lovely

Penelope,Gwendoline,Genevieve,Leonora (order of preference)are just,well,okay
...but with regards to Tullia, Calliope, Cosima,Juniper and Aurora in my opinion you have correctly self diagnosed 'pregnancy madness' I'm afraid.

Thank you everyone! These opinions and comments are really helpful.
Much as I love Calliope, I think it has to come of the list. It is just a bit too unfamiliar and I think will cause problems.
I'm also wavering on Aurora because of the Disney connections- shame because it's such a pretty name!

I met a little Flora today- she was lovely!
Don't let the margarine connection put you off!
