[strandedatsea]

Everyone seems to like Clara these days! It's my name but I struggled all my life with pronunciation as I am Clara to ryhme with Bearer rather than Clara to rhyme with Zara.

I like Megan and quite like Nancy but not keen on any of the others.

[boodleboot]

tansy is great for little girl but cant imagine adult called it...
judy is actually really cute...
zara is nice too...

[AnnieGG]

Is Clare a pronunciation a common one? as I wanted to pronounce it the same as Zara.

[strandedatsea]

Most people would rhyme it with Zara, I have only met one or two others pronounced my way.

Btw it means egg white in Spanish. (as well as clear!).

[brogan2]

Love Constance with nn Connie. Quite like Nancy too!

[BessieBoots]

Megan- Don't know about anywhere else, but here in Wales there are loads of Megans...
Zara- Clothes shop I can't afford to buy from
Constance- LOVE it. Classy. Elegant.
Nancy- Lovely
Verona- Not keen, a bit Verruca for me
Clara- Love it. Reminds me of Back to the Future III, and that Clara was the classiest...
Judy (not Judith)- And Richard
Aurelia- reminds me of ruffled shirts (not in a good way)
Tansy- Love this too.

How about Posy?

[Magaly]

Megan - like it but don't love it. Welsh for Margaret? Prefer just margaret with all its nick names. Maggie, Greta
Zara - I like it
Constance - no. Horribly Severe. Sounds really grouchy and dour.
Nancy - I like it.
Verona- hmm, I'm not sure. It might grow on me.
Clara - lovely name.
Judy (not Judith) - no.
Aurelia - no.
Tansy - I love this one! is it a flower? it sounds like one, but I don't know which.

If you didn't want to put Tansy on the birth cert you could put Tamara or Tegan Anneliese? Actually, I prefer Tegan to Megan. (I know they don't rhyme. I just htink TEgan is a bit more interesting) tiggy for short is cute too.

[ozmetric]

I like Megan, Zara, Constance, Clara.

[Magaly]

Constance is revolting and everybody loves it on MN!!! What next? do you lot like Prudence as well? Chastity? I will have to rearrange my face really quickly if I meet a baby Constance in rl!

[HumphreyCobbler]

I have a Clara. Definitely on the up. In the top hundred in the US, top ten in France.

Still about number 300 here though.

There are lots of Megans round here.

I know a Tansy too.

[madly]

Constance is such a beautiful name. Love Clara too.!

[notsochickchickchicken]

Love Megan, Zara and Nancy.

Tansy is ok but much prefer Tamsin.

The others are not my cup of tea.

[HumphreyCobbler]

Prudence is a great name

[MinnieMalone]

Nancy is nice

Zara and Clara are both lovely

Constance and Aurelia quite nice.

The rest - NO.
