Beatrice
Bianca - Adore this. Always have, simply for the frilly feminine sound that manages to be solid at the same time. I heard it's trendy, but I have never actually met someone with the name.
Bryony - I have a thing for floral names, so I like it. That said, it looks a little awkward and scores right in with all the other trendy BR-names right now.
Camilla - A bit dated and high-class for me
Camille - Much better, I like a lot. I think its far more accessible than Camilla and has less royal-family connotations. Plus, it sounds sleek.
Caroline - A standard. It's pretty but rather boring to me. Somehow I do think Carol or Carolie would be nicer.
Charlotte - A classic name, but a but too widespeard for me to use personally. I love all the Charlottes I know though.
Cordelia - Secret love affair with this name. Its just slighly prettier than Cornelia, and includes a bucket-load of nicknames that are just adorable (Dell?). In any case, I think it is modern, chich and cute.
Cressida - Haven't really considered this name before. It does seem a bit high-brow for me personally, but I like it a lot. It will be in the same category as the lovely Araminta.
Danielle - Adore it. It's common for a reason. I lean a bit more towards Daniela, but will always like Danielle. We even considered using it.
Delphine- Hubby hates it, but I love it. The ph-sound always wins me in names. That said, its possibly better suited for an animated character or novel heroine than any child of mine. But, beyond pretty.
Diana - Simple, sweet and lovely. I like Diane better, but Diana is a strong name.
Dominique - Don't like it. It's too much of something, but I don't know what! I recently suggested Dominie to my husband though and we thought it would make a great alternative to Dominique.
