[name_f]Pretty[/name_f] choices! I especially love [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] (my own top name with Genevieve!), [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] (can’t use it, but I adore it) and [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] :heart_eyes:

And these are big favourites of mine as well:
[name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f]
[name_u]Rose[/name_u]
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]
[name_f]Pearl[/name_f]

So interesting and not surprising they are gorgeous names!

[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] is my daughter’s middle name!

All gorgeous choices!!

Especially loving [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f], [name_u]Ruby[/name_u], [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] (love love love this one), [name_f]Claire[/name_f], and [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] :heart:

[name_u]Super[/name_u] interesting!! These names are all so lovely!!

[name_f]My[/name_f] favorites are [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], [name_u]Ruby[/name_u], [name_f]Violet[/name_f] (dog’s name), [name_f]Josephine[/name_f], and [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] (all-time fave).

All of the first name choices are sparkly in my opinion! I’d be particularly inclined to use any of the ‘v’ names myself - [name_f]Olive[/name_f], [name_f]Violet[/name_f] or [name_u]Ivy[/name_u] & the rest I really love for others. Good on you, Berries :grinning:
