[name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] nn [name_f]Belle[/name_f] - I prefer the more polished [name_f]Annabel[/name_f] spelling.
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] - one of my favourite flower names.
[name_f]Heidi[/name_f] - too cutesy for a grown woman
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] - A fine mythological name but I prefer [name_f]Daphne[/name_f].
[name_f]Cleo[/name_f] - I prefer [name_f]Clio[/name_f]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] nn [name_f]Rosie[/name_f] - A great flower name but I prefer [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] or [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f].
8. [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] - I prefer this [name_m]French[/name_m] spelling rather than [name_f]Sophia[/name_f]. It’s more friendly.
[name_f]Kiara[/name_f] nn [name_f]Kiri[/name_f] - this seems very trendy next to your other choices. My least favourite option.
[name_f]Grace[/name_f] - I love the simple beauty of [name_f]Grace[/name_f] - especially up front!
[name_f]Eliza[/name_f] - Short, sweet and sassy, a great name.
[name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] nn [name_f]Belle[/name_f] - I prefer the simpler [name_f]Annabel[/name_f] spelling and I’m so over nn [name_f]Belle[/name_f]/[name_f]Bella[/name_f] - nn [name_f]Annie[/name_f] would be my preference.
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] - Never been keen on this one for some reason
[name_f]Heidi[/name_f] -I like this, understated beauty.
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] - [name_f]Love[/name_f] this, a great name.
[name_f]Cleo[/name_f] - I always think of [name_f]Cleopatra[/name_f] or the car, I can’t shake either association
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] nn [name_f]Rosie[/name_f] - Nice, I prefer [name_f]Rosa[/name_f] but [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is a good option and [name_f]Rosie[/name_f] is cute.
[name_f]Sophie[/name_f] - Biased as it’s my name but it’s a great name to have, and I prefer it to [name_f]Sophia[/name_f].
[name_f]Kiara[/name_f] nn [name_f]Kiri[/name_f] - Key-ar-uh? I prefer [name_f]Ciara[/name_f] ([name_m]Keer[/name_m]-uh) but nickname [name_f]Kiri[/name_f] is adorable.
[name_f]Grace[/name_f] - Simple and pretty, I like it.
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Heidi[/name_f] and cleo were all on my list! Check my signature for other faves… (I have a [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] but she was NEARLY a [name_f]Freya[/name_f]).
You have a really great list! I like most of your choices. My favorites are probably [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] (the one I voted for), [name_f]Rose[/name_f], and [name_f]Violet[/name_f]. All three are on my list.
[name_f]Eliza[/name_f] is a fresh take on the more classic and widely used [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] - timeless and modern sounding.
[name_f]Kiara[/name_f] is also lovely and ESP like [name_f]Kiri[/name_f] and nn.
My picks: [name_f]Sophie[/name_f], [name_f]Rose[/name_f] “[name_f]Rosie[/name_f],” [name_f]Heidi[/name_f] and [name_f]Cleo[/name_f]. I love all of them, each has a cool and sweet casual vibe.
I voted for [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] and [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f], but I like a lot of the others!
[name_f]Eliza[/name_f]- beautiful, timeless classic, but too nicknamey for my personal taste (I’d love [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] nn [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] though!)
[name_f]Annabelle[/name_f]- frilly and girly and pretty but with strength and weight
[name_f]Violet[/name_f]- a Nameberry favourite, but just sounds harsh to me
[name_f]Heidi[/name_f]- cute, but still seems a bit frumpy. The book [name_f]Heidi[/name_f] is a nice connection though
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]- sleek, no-nonsense and totally wearable but rare
[name_f]Cleo[/name_f]- cute and spunky, but too nicknamey for me. [name_f]Cleopatra[/name_f] maybe? (but that may be too much for you…)
[name_f]Rose[/name_f]- classic, sweet and demure but doesn’t have much spark for me
[name_f]Sophie[/name_f]- sweet, warm, friendly, welcoming vibe
[name_f]Kiara[/name_f] nn [name_f]Kiri[/name_f]- modern, spunky, girly
[name_f]Grace[/name_f]- not a fan, just don’t find it very interesting, but I know lots of people love it
[name_f]Eliza[/name_f] - I prefer [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]. I’ve just never liked the sound of it.
[name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] nn [name_f]Belle[/name_f] - Pretty, but very bland.
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] - Also pretty, but exceptionally popular.
[name_f]Heidi[/name_f] - Not bad, not my favorite.
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] - Dislike.
[name_f]Cleo[/name_f] - Cute, but looks like a nickname. On its own, I prefer [name_f]Clio[/name_f] spelling.
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] nn [name_f]Rosie[/name_f] - Classic, beautiful.
[name_f]Sophie[/name_f] - Pretty, overpopular.
[name_f]Kiara[/name_f] nn [name_f]Kiri[/name_f] - Not my style.
[name_f]Grace[/name_f] - Boring.
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] would be my pick based off of your list.
Thankyou all so much!!
This poll has really helped me!!!
I appreciate the written feedback particularly.
It’s interesting to see how people react to the ones I gravitate towards. Luckily pretty well.
I absolutely love [name_f]Violet[/name_f] BUT I chose [name_f]Rose[/name_f] nn [name_f]Rosie[/name_f] because I think it’s so sweet - [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is underused as a first name and I absolutely adore [name_f]Rosie[/name_f]. [name_f]Violet[/name_f] is fanastic as well, though.
