  • I like all of them except Macy.  It is too cutesy for me.

    Caroline is classic but a little boring, IMO.

    My favorites are Betsy, Violet and Penny.

    Great list! 

  • Caroline is one of the most beautiful names ever, IMHO.

    My favourite would be Caroline or Juliet. I love Elizabeth and Violet a lot as well. Penelope is cute. Macy is NMS.

  • The only name on your list that I dislike is Macy.  I honestly love all the rest!  Betsy isn't my favorite nn for Elizabeth, but I do think it's cute.

  • I agree with the pp's that your list is great except for Macy. Macy is a cute little girl name but is hard to visualize on a grown woman.

    Ok here are the finalists, brutal honesty please....

    Elizabeth (Betsy)

    Caroline

    Violet

    Juliet

    Penelope (Penny)

    Macy

    I wouldn't consider myself brutal, but here goes nothing:

    My favorite is Juliet...classic & feminine. I don't know any Juliet's. Caroline is also very pretty, but I know many of those. Macy is spunky & interesting, a good name. Violet is not my style...I guess I just wouldn't want to be named after a color or flower, but that's just me. I'm not a fan of Penelope, but I do like sound of Penny...but it also holds the potential to be an easy target for teasing.

    Elizabeth is great, but I wouldn't want to be called Betsy. That's a very popular name for a cow!!! Maybe her nickname could be Lizzy, Beth, Liz...anything but Betsy ;-)

  • I do NOT like Betsy at all, I LOVE Violet, and the rest are just ok. 

  • Elizabeth (Betsy) - I like Elizabeth but really dislike the nn Betsy.  I prefer Liz, Beth, or Eliza for a nn.

    Caroline - LOVE it, classic and feminine

    Violet - like it

    Juliet - like it

    Penelope (Penny) - strongly dislike

    Macy - It's okay, but it reminds me of Teen Mom or the store Macy's.

  • Love Elizabeth ...HATE Betsy ugh

    Caroline is nice but oh some popular at the moment

    Violet is ok

    Juliet is my fav on the list

    Penelope...one of those names that makes me cringe

    Macy great store

  • Wow, you can't go wrong! 

    I LOVE Juliet but my husband said "no"!

  • Elizabeth- not a fan, definately not a fan of Betsy.  But where I live there are a lot of middle aged, poorly dressed/done up women named Elizabeth, so it has a negative connotation with me personally.

    Caroline - LOVE!!! was on my short girl list

    Violet - really like, haven't really considered it, but I think it's really nice

    Juiliet - reminds me of Juilie, and I find that name too common

    Penelope - super cute, and fun.  I like it, but it seems very peppy to me.  Not a bad thing, just an observation.

    Macy - meh, I know a couple who named their oldest Macy, didn't think it was a real name then, and still don't really know what to think about it.  Her full name is Macy Daisy Rose (then last name)  When I hear that name all I can think of is her full name.

  • I LOVE Betsy (obviously--see siggy), and Caroline is another of my favorite names.  The rest are also good except for Macy--not a fan. 
  • My favorite from your list is Caroline, absolutely beautiful and timeless!
  • I like them all except Macy.

  • Yes Elizabeth (Betsy) - Elizabeth is such a pretty, classic name. And, I really do like Betsy as a nn!!

    No Caroline - I don't know why, but I never know if this is pronounced Caro-line or Caro-lynn

    No Violet - OK, NMS

    Yes Juliet - Love this name! It would be on my list of names, but it completely clashes with my last name.

    Yes Penelope (Penny) - I really like this too

    Yes Macy - Like, even though my parents' dog's name is Lacy and it kind of reminds me of that... of course not everyone would have that connection, lol.

    I think you have a great list of names here, good luck narrowing it down!


  • Elizabeth - Okay, but hate Betsy.

    Caroline - Classic and beautiful

    Violet - Love.

    Juliet - LOVE, this is my favorite of your names.  It was on my list, but husband vetoed it.

    Penelope - Very nice, but not a fan of Penny.

    Macy - Not a fan of at all.  reminds me of macy's to much.  Seems like a 'cheap' kind of name.

  • I don't care for any of these but if I HAD to choose my fave it'd be Penelope.

    Elizabeth is more of a mn to me.

    I'm OVER Caroline, Violet, Juliet and Penelope on this board.

    Macy makes me think of Teen Mom or the dept store.
