Here is the list of girls names that I am considering. Popularity doesn't concern me, nor do any references to popular culture. Middle name would likely be a family one and I'm not really bothered by how it would "go" with the first name. Please offer your opinions on my list below. Which is your favourite and why? Daisy Eloise Penelope Matilda Celeste Phoebe Stella Chloe Primrose This post has been edited by white~wave: 09/01/2013, 05:38 PM

Favourite: Celeste by a long long way. It's the only one on your list I would consider but for Stella. Tie between Eloise and Matilda for least favourite, I really dislike both.

Stella and Eloise are my favs Stella - Streetcar named Desire Eloise - Just 'cos! Also maybe due to the naffish song that was about in the 80's. Also think Chloe is very sweet.

You have great taste!My faves on your list are Celeste, Phoebe and Eloise. They've all been on my shortlists, funnily enough. I knew a Primrose whose name was shortened to Prim which kind of puts me off that name.
