Annabel. Met a cute little 3 year old on holiday called that. Although I prefer Annabelle.

Nice shortlist. I like Annabel best (spelt that way), than Matilda, the Ottilie, the Elodie. Not keen on Jemima or Eloise. Indifferent to Eliza.

Jemima. Beautiful, timeless and very under used (or is it underused? My brain is shocking these days) Blush

Annabel but then I have one so am biased.

Also like Jemima.

Ottilie. Thats an odd one. Sounds like a place name.

Eliza and Jemima - they are all nice but Annabel works better as a middle name whereas none of the others do

Love Eliza and Matilda.

I could never use Jemima because of the Aunt Jemima associations, but I imagine people in the UK generally don't have these associations.

Eliza - Don't like
Matilda - Love, popular at the moment if that bothers you
Eloise - OK
Annabel - OK
Jemima - Quite like, knew a Jemima at school and she was a huge teachers pet/goody goody from a very strict family (which puts me off it!!) but without that association, I do like it a lot.
Elodie - Quite like, bit different in a good way
Ottilie - OK

All lovely. Matilda my least favourite.

Love Annabel. Was on my shortlist but had a boy.

I know a young Eloise. Is lovely.

All nice. Can't stop thinking Ottilie Bottilie but that's just me being childish. Annabel is my favourite x
