[name_f]Anna[/name_f] → solid, classic and international [name_f][/name_f]- it feels confident and sunny
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] → grounded but grand, very classic and well-established with plenty of history. I like a lot of the nicknames it offers
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Amanda[/name_f] → nice meaning and I like the nicknames [name_m]Mandy[/name_m] and [name_f]Ami[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- not one you hear so often now, but I’m never sure if I love the whole sound of it together
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Samantha[/name_f] → solid with gender neutral nicknames [name_f][/name_f]- I do find it a bit lacklustre though personally

[name_f]My[/name_f] thoughts
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Anna[/name_f] ~ elegant, timeless, international and understated. A very graceful choice that feels peaceful. I also really like the nickname potential of [name_f]Annie[/name_f].
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] ~ I absolutely love [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] she’s regal, strong, rich in history, has a lovely religious meaning,
[name_f][/name_f]has a range of lovely nicknames and feels unexpected nowadays. I have never met a young [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]. [name_f]Gorgeous[/name_f] name.
[name_f]Amanda[/name_f] ~ personally never been a fan of [name_f]Amanda[/name_f] she just doesn’t have a sound that appeals to me the ‘man’ part of an [name_f]Amanda[/name_f] feels stands out. Also the nickname [name_m]Mandy[/name_m] for me isn’t the best. Strongly prefer [name_f]Miranda[/name_f] which feels similar but just more elevated.
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Samantha[/name_f] ~ I think [name_f]Samantha[/name_f] is lovely I find her iconic and sassy with this elegant strong sense of self. I do associate her with the 90s but I think it’s actually cool. I would love to encounter a [name_f]Samantha[/name_f].

[name_f]Anna[/name_f] and [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] are beautiful classic names. [name_f]Amanda[/name_f] and [name_f]Samantha[/name_f] are maybe a little dated but they are still great

[name_f]Anna[/name_f][name_f][/name_f] – she has such a simple beauty to her that I just adore. She’s classic but also bright & friendly
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f][name_f][/name_f] – a timeless classic with lots of history & elegance! I personally prefer her with a spunky nickname, whether [name_f]Birdie[/name_f], [name_f]Lizbet[/name_f], or [name_f]Zibby[/name_f].
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Amanda[/name_f][name_f][/name_f] – pretty & understated but also slightly dated to the 80s/90s. I love the nickname [name_m]Mandy[/name_m], though, and would suggest an alternative with a little more flair, like [name_f]Amandine[/name_f]!
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Samantha[/name_f][name_f][/name_f] – I do love the meaning & origins of this name, but the sound altogether isn’t my favorite, and I don’t love the intuitive nickname [name_m]Sam[/name_m]. For a close alternative, I would suggest [name_f]Amarantha[/name_f], [name_f]Susannah[/name_f], [name_f]Savannah[/name_f], or [name_f]Diantha[/name_f].
