It’s hard for me to rank them, especially over impressions of them. I’ll state how I feel about them.

[name_f]Bridget[/name_f] - I feel neutral about [name_f]Bridget[/name_f]. It feels a bit out-dated.
[name_f]Caroline[/name_f] - I adore [name_f]Caroline[/name_f]. Surprised I do not see it more often on the forum.
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] - I adore [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], and [name_f]Lottie[/name_f].
[name_f]Claire[/name_f] - I adore [name_f]Claire[/name_f], and [name_f]Clara[/name_f].
[name_f]Jane[/name_f] - I adore [name_f]Jane[/name_f] and it’s special to me, late mom’s first name. I also adore [name_f]Janie[/name_f].
[name_f]Sarah[/name_f] - I feel neutral about [name_f]Sarah[/name_f].
Vivan - I had to look up this one. Unsure how I feel. I adore the similar sounding [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] and [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] (prounce these slightly differently, ən and ehn).

  1. [name_f]Bridget[/name_f] - I don’t like [name_f]Bridget[/name_f] at all. It feels old and fusty to me. I’m in [name_f]Ireland[/name_f] and it’s a real old woman name here.
    4 [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] - I quite like [name_f]Caroline[/name_f], but don’t love it. I think I’d be as neutral about it as it can be actually.
  2. [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] - I love [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], and like PP, adore [name_f]Lottie[/name_f]. I think it’s a gorgeous name and has the prettiest vibe about it.
  3. [name_f]Claire[/name_f] - I’m not crazy about [name_f]Claire[/name_f]. I much prefer [name_f]Clara[/name_f].
  4. [name_f]Jane[/name_f] - I love [name_f]Jane[/name_f]. It’s simple and sweet and feminine, without being frilly. It’s lovely.
  5. [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] - I’ve always liked the name [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] but for me, the popularity of it would put me off.
  6. [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] - did you mean Vivan or [name_u]Vivian[/name_u]? I’ve never heard of Vivan but do quite like [name_u]Vivian[/name_u]. It’s sweet.

  1. [name_f]Jane[/name_f] – I adore [name_f]Jane[/name_f]. And it’s a very meaningful name to me as well.

  5. [name_f]Caroline[/name_f]
  6. [name_f]Bridget[/name_f]

From favourite to least favourite:

  1. [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]
  2. [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
  3. [name_f]Caroline[/name_f]

I love how classic and timeless [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], [name_f]Jane[/name_f] and [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] are, how there’s so much history and so many literary associations behind them. [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] and [name_f]Jane[/name_f] have a certain warmth and welcomingness to them that [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] doesn’t though, so that tips them over just a bit. [name_f]Jane[/name_f] is simple and sweet while [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] and [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] feel more regal and stately.

  1. [name_u]Vivian[/name_u]- I like how spunky and fun [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] is, and how it sounds modern but has a history of use
  2. [name_f]Claire[/name_f]- it’s a sweet name, but doesn’t particularly stand out to me
  3. [name_f]Sarah[/name_f]- it’s a really popular name for girls in my age group and I’ve known SO many [name_f]Sara/name_fs that it just doesn’t excite me anymore
  4. [name_f]Bridget[/name_f]- this name has always felt clunky to me

I have a positive association with all these names. I wouldn’t use [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] as it’s just too popular.
I love [name_f]Bridget[/name_f] and think it’s due for a comeback. There are so many ways to spell it and normally I don’t care for funky spellings, but for some reason I like it spelled [name_f]Brigit[/name_f].

  1. [name_f]Caroline[/name_f]: I love [name_f]Caroline[/name_f], it’s so pretty and spunky and the nickname can be changed according to the temperament of the child eg. [name_u]Caro[/name_u], [name_f]Caroly[/name_f], [name_m]Linus[/name_m], [name_f]Coco[/name_f].
  2. [name_f]Claire[/name_f]: pretty, chic yet simple.

1.) [name_f]Caroline[/name_f]-- I love it so hard…love nn [name_f]Carrie[/name_f] or [name_f]Carly[/name_f] too.
2.) [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]–I like it as a whole or with nn [name_u]Charlie[/name_u]…not a fan of [name_f]Lottie[/name_f] or [name_f]Char[/name_f] though.
3.)[name_f]Bridget[/name_f]–I love this name. It was the top contender with my oldest for most of my pregnancy…then I realized it was too similar to one of my dads ex-wives names. I still love it though.
4.) [name_f]Jane[/name_f]-- I think it’s cute and ready for a comeback.
5.) [name_f]Claire[/name_f]-- I like [name_f]Claire[/name_f] but I prefer it as a middle name.
6.). [name_f]Sarah[/name_f]–there is nothing wrong with [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] per se, I just find it to be soooo boring. Idk what it is.
7.) [name_u]Vivian[/name_u]–I find it to be…stuffy. It’s just not for me
