Re: Virginia, Annabel, Eleanor or Mary (more)
I love them all. I'd choose Annabel, but I'd be happy to use any of them. Annabel Virginia is a nice combo, now that I think about it. Annabel Frances if I weren't to use one of your names. Virginia - I really love this even though it's stodgy and serious. It's not up there in my top ten or anything, but I definitely wouldn't be sad if I were forced to name a daughter Virginia. I'd prefer the full name, though, instead of Ginny or god forbid, Ginger. Eleanor - I really like this and Eloise. Ny only hesitation is that it's close to the ultra-popular Ella. Mary - I love Mary and I'd be tempted to use Polly as a nickname. The only thing that makes me feel strange about using Mary is that I'm half Jewish and it seems like such a Christian (Catholic) name.

I've known a couple of Jewish Mary people; they just used Miriam for liturgical purposes and got on with life! Most of the Mary people I've known have been Christian though not necessarily practising Christians; I've never known a Catholic Mary, funnily enough.
