Hereby, I would like to say sorry for not reading the froum guidelines before posting and causing quite some problem here.
I will take note of it and will never do the same mistake again.
Thanks for reminding, Trillian.
I believe that you are not purposely trying to mean or what. It's ok and I understand why you said that.
Anyway, thanks to everyone.
What a gracious way to accept an apology. Im looking forward to reading more of your posts.
Phew, what a list! I'll just leave in the names I like.
Helena - It seems a strong proud name, but still feminine
Hope - Sweet, and I love the meaning
Iris - Lovely
Jenna - I think it's cute
Juliet - Classic and beautiful
Kate - Classic and sweet
Laurel - Lovely
Lucille - I love the name Lucy, but Lucille might flow better with a last name
Morgan - I thought I didn't like it, but I didn't want to delete it. So maybe it's growing on me?
Sage - One of my faves
Sarah - It's a graceful sounding name
Suranne - Soft and feminine
Theresa - I think it's nice
So there you go. If you decide to make your name choice based on what Nelle thinks (as every good parent should :p), there's my opinion. :D

they were my first thoughts. lol. I agree with the others, you should pick a name you love and not for anyone else. ;)
Mama2two, I just want to let you know that Natasha didn't hide in the cupboard, her father imprisoned her in the basement for more than 20 years, raping her.
HOPE is a little girl that is my daughter's best friend ... she is a IVF bub so i think her name is so fitting :D
HELENA is a distant relative of mines name ... my Fav name on your list ... so pretty :dance:
LILIANA is such a gorgeous name :D
HAILEY makes me think of the comet !!
SOPHIE makes me think of a sweet lil cute girl !!
RUBY makes me think of the town named Ruby in Victoria that my DD's Pop grew up in !!
I'm not a fan of Teresa BUT I love Terese !!
Hailey - Cute, a little bit 80's but still aceptable
Helena - 50 year old woman, dont see it working for child
Hope - slightly westy but very pretty. could be teased and called hopeless
Ingrid - LOVE IT, sophisticated and classic
Iris - cute in that so old its new again way, very unusal
Isabella - very very very very common. Izzy is a cute nickname though. I prefer Isabel
Jade - sort of unstylish and dated. But I know a GORGEOUS Jade. I think it only bothers me as a middle name.
Jean - nothing nice about it particularily
Jenna - dated and harsh sounding. Genavieve is prettier. Pronounced with soft G sound.
Juliet - she would get over the "wheres your romeo" comments
Kate - I love it spelt Cate. But Kate looks better if you want to use Katie. Adorable.
Kathleen - Older womans name that doesn't really work in 2009.
Kathryn - I know a 5 year old Katherine and I dont think it suits her. Too old for her.
Katie - LOVE IT. I think of a gorgeous little girl.
Keira - Is this like Kirra? Or Keera? It seems a bit westy.
Kristen - boring
Laura - pretty, and intelligent
Laurel - annoying and american
Lena - Very unusual but pretty name
Liliana - Game show host. lol. But could work for baby.
Lindsey - Lohan?
Louise - Doesnt suit small children. I know a few of them.
Lucille - Ball?
Margaret - I like nickname Maggie.
Michelle - very 80s. Most Michelles are having their own kids now. shelly is ok I guess.
Morgan - Very trendy. I think its adorable but would not actually do it.
Natasha - had its day along with leg warmers and banarama.
Nicole - see above.
Quinn - Trendy. Not a pretty name, but sort of spunky.
Ruby - Lovely. Cant go wrong with Ruby. Unless you spell it Rubi. Or Rubie
Sage - I would usually think its a boys name. But thats not a problem really. Its sweet.
Sarah - Means princess.
Savannah - westy. american.
Shannon - horrible.
Shia - sort of made up. Prefer Leah or somthing.
Sophie - Love it. Timeless and classy.
Suranne - huh?
Theresa - hate it.
Trinity - too sci fi. You might live to regret it once you get over the matrix. I know, it is a real name, but everone will just think of the movie straight away.
Victoria - I live there. Tori is nice.
You better read this lol. took me long enough.
Echidna, I'm pretty sure the Natasha that Mama2two is referring to isn't the one you're thinking of. Without going into much detail, this Natasha - an Australian - hid herself in a cupboard of her own free will for several years, emerging approx 5-6 (more?) years ago.:
Mama2two, I just want to let you know that Natasha didn't hide in the cupboard, her father imprisoned her in the basement ....
Dunno that this will add anything to the chat about names - blame what my DH says is my "occasionally annoying habit of being too precise with details" ;).
Isab3lle - I like Lena and Jenna, but only you will know what name is the right fit for your bub.
Andie
Oh ok. I guess I never heard about that. Sorry mummy2two.
