Justine, Jacqueline & Jacquetta
My niece was telling me about a book she was reading yesterday and it got me thinking yesterday about the names Jacqueline, Justine and Jacquetta. I love Jacqueline and Jacquetta but haven’t really thought about Justine much before but could see it growing on me. WDYT of Jacqueline, Justine and Jacquetta?Don’t take criticism from someone you wouldn’t take advice from

I think that Justine is a really pretty name for a girl.
Justine is alright. Definitely not my favorite and wouldn't be a contender if I ever had a daughter but I don't mind it. I don't like Justin at all so I don't really like the fact that it comes from that.Jacqueline is great. Cute and has personality.Jacquetta reminds me of Spanish for jacket, so I wouldn't use it.
I grew up with a Justine, so it's a pretty silver-purple sort of name that makes me think of the 90s. She was actually not a very nice girl, but I still thought the name was sweet.Jacqueline is an interesting name. I find it very brassy. Jackie is like THE brassiest name ever. It's loud and charmingly crass. Jacqueline is pretty, but I also like Jaclyn and Jacklyn. They are such crunchy-pumpkin-orange-autumn names to me. Jacquetta is fun, it looks so flimsy yet it's got an interesting namesake. I think the only place I've ever seen it is on the mother of Elizabeth Woodville who seduced her way onto the throne of England or whatever. I find Jacquetta quite sexy and witchy, probably because I was influenced by Phillipa Gregory's retelling of that whole story. Oh, she was actually accused of witchcraft! Well then. History!
Jacqueline is nice, Justine is ok, but I don't like Jacquetta
