HelpRe: Rip my girls' names to shreds
in reply to a message by Ottilie
None of your girl names really knocks my socks off, BUT I like most of them.
Here are my "favorites" (starting with the best and so on):
* Cecily - lovely, but prefer it as a middle name
* Josephine - I like it. Too long for me as a first name, but a lovely, classy middle name for sure!
* Viola - one of those "sweet tooth" names, but much better than Violet
* Romilly - even though it is very close to being too sweet, and it's getting very popular... okay as a middle name
* Wilhelmina - a little long and not a fan of those feminized boy names, but a decent middle name, I guess
* Frances - Okay, but nothing special... a decent middle name
* Ianthe - I like the looks, but the pronunciation is confusing. Maybe not even a good middle name because of that...
* Margot - old/ dated... naw
* Guinevere - doesn't look very feminine and I don't like both sound and spelling
* Edith - same as Margot: reminds me of an old woman
And here are my sibset suggestions:
Cecily & Nicholas
Cecily & Felix

Ahhhh, thank you so much for all the suggestions! I'm going to have to really read through them and contemplate.
I have to ask, though, where did you get the idea that Romilly is getting popular? It doesn't appear on a single popularity chart! http://www.behindthename.com/top/search.php?terms=romilly

I've read it so many times in user postings on here. Even if it isn't in those popularity charts, I feel like it will soon.

I think you've maybe been reading too many of my posts ;) I think it's only myself and one other user who really love it, haha. But I do keep an eye on the popularity, it was only used 47 times in the UK according to the latest available data.

Well, if "I" have the feeling that a name is too popular, this is one reason against it. But there are also exceptions for me... it really depends.
I'm just not a fan of made-up sounding names. They need to have a history in my opinion. But that's my personal opinion.

Hey, it's alright, I'm just discussing it with you!
Romilly has history, it's a place name, a surname, and has been used occasionally as a given name over the centuries.

Oh everything is fine, haha. I didn't mean to appear mad or anything! I'm just trying to make my point. ;-)
It's great to see how you defend Romilly. That's definitely how it should be. We can only give opinions, but every single one of us needs to decide for themselves when the day comes. How weird would it be if we'd all be of the same opinion?!
