I am attracted to E names also, especially for girls.
[name_f]My[/name_f] top three (in order) are [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] (although I personally prefer the line pronunciation), [name_f]Eliza[/name_f], and [name_f]Eva[/name_f]. [name_f]My[/name_f] least favorite are [name_f]Eimear[/name_f], [name_f]Elfrida[/name_f], and [name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f].
[name_f]My[/name_f] favourites are [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f], [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] and [name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f]. [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] is a family name and also a variation of my middle name, [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] is kind of [name_u]Christmas[/name_u]-y and I love the exotic sound of [name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f].
[name_f]My[/name_f] least favourites are [name_f]Elfrida[/name_f] and Eirwen. They just seem clunky and Eirwen sounds like Ear-uh-wen to me (I know that’s not how it’s pronounced, it’s the weird phonetics in me.)
[name_f]Evanthe[/name_f] is my favourite by a mile. I love that it’s so rare, but so beautiful, magical and gentle, with a brilliant meaning and sound to match. I also love [name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f] (vintage and magic), [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] (magical), and [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] (vintage). [name_f]My[/name_f] least favourite is probably [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f], because I dislike the een sound at the end.
[name_f]Lovely[/name_f] list, especially [name_f]Evanthe[/name_f] and [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] and Eirwen.
[name_f]My[/name_f] favorite E names
[name_f]Elodie[/name_f]
[name_f]Elena[/name_f]
[name_f]Elaine[/name_f]
[name_f]Elysia[/name_f]
Elysant
and [name_f]Eliza[/name_f], with [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] and [name_f]Emma[/name_f] close by.
I like [name_f]Eliza[/name_f], [name_f]Eva[/name_f], and [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f]. [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] and [name_f]Evanthe[/name_f] are usable. I don’t care for the emma-leen pronunciation of [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]. I don’t think [name_f]Eimear[/name_f] and [name_f]Elfrida[/name_f] are usable in the US.
[name_f]My[/name_f] favourites in order are:
[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] (you could always use nn [name_f]Eva[/name_f] for it?)
[name_f]Eliza[/name_f]
[name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]
I love [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]! That was in the top of my list with my daughter 2 years ago. I love the nicknames possibilities there! I also like [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f]. Other E names I like are [name_f]Eloise[/name_f], [name_f]Ella[/name_f], and [name_f]Eileen[/name_f] (my moms name )
[name_f]Eva[/name_f] - Simple and beautiful, great meaning, one of my favourites
[name_f]Eliza[/name_f] - [name_f]Lovely[/name_f] classic, also on my list. Great sound.
[name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] - Vintage frill, prefer your prn.
Eirwen - Nice, but struggling to see how ‘wen’ is pronounced ‘win’?
[name_f]Evanthe[/name_f] - I prefer [name_f]Evanna[/name_f] myself, but this is ok
Neutral/Dislikes
[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] - I like it as is but it seems like it’d always be shortened
[name_f]Elowen[/name_f] - always gets mispronounced
[name_f]Elfrida[/name_f] - feels like it should be dated
[name_f]Eimear[/name_f] - Sounds like a brand name to me
[name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f] - A bit [name_m]OTT[/name_m] for me
[name_f]Eimear[/name_f] (pn. EE-mer)- I adore this… but DH would never let me use it! I prefer the [name_f]Emer[/name_f] spelling.
[name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f]- So pretty. I’d use nn [name_f]Esme[/name_f] (EZ-muh.)
[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f]- I pronounce this EvangelYne, not -leen. One of my favoite Nameberry discoveries!Too bad it doesn’t work with our last name.
[name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] (pn. emma-leen)- Gorgeous, but I prefer [name_f]EmmelYne[/name_f] pn.
[name_f]Eva[/name_f]- Simple and pretty. Perhaps more of a nickname to me.
[name_f]Eliza[/name_f]- I grew up with one. Very nice!
[name_f]Evanthe[/name_f] (pn. ee-[name_u]VAN[/name_u]-thee)- Odd, but pretty.
[name_f]Elowen[/name_f]- I like the way it looks on paper, but the sounds do nothing for me.
Eirwen (pn. [name_f]AIR[/name_f]-win)- The last two do nothing for me.
[name_f]Elfrida[/name_f]
I’m not a huge E fan, myself, but I do think that [name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f] is a gorgeous, enchanting name. So that’s my favorite! I really don’t like the EV sound that much, so personally I don’t like [name_f]Eva[/name_f], [name_f]Evanthe[/name_f], and [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f].
I quite like E names. There seems to be plenty of them I don’t like too though! The only one on your list I quite like is [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]. [name_f]My[/name_f] favourite E names for other suggestions include:
[name_f]Eliana[/name_f]
[name_u]Emery[/name_u]
[name_f]Ella[/name_f] (but its waaay too popular for me!)
[name_f]Ellie[/name_f] (ditto as above!)
DHs favourite girls name is [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], but I really can’t bring myself to fall in love with it.
I also love E names There’s something very special (magical?) about it, I was also thinking the same thing! For example, I love [name_u]Evan[/name_u] (for a girl), [name_f]Elara[/name_f], [name_f]Eliora[/name_f], [name_f]Eve[/name_f], [name_u]Eden[/name_u], Eldreth, Earendel, [name_f]Evening[/name_f], Evensong, Evenstar etc…
From your list, I love quite a few too…
[name_f]Eimear[/name_f] (pn. EE-mer) - NMS
Eirwen (pn. [name_f]AIR[/name_f]-win) - Sounds like [name_m]Irwin[/name_m]- NMS
[name_f]Elfrida[/name_f] - NMS
[name_f]Eliza[/name_f] - Beautiful
[name_f]Elowen[/name_f] - GORGEOUS!!!
[name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] (pn. emma-leen) - [name_f]Lovely[/name_f]
[name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f] - [name_u]Love[/name_u] it
[name_f]Eva[/name_f] - Elegant and classic, love it
[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] - This was my favorite name as a teenager…still love it, but too close to family member’s name…
[name_f]Evanthe[/name_f] (pn. ee-[name_u]VAN[/name_u]-thee) - Not sure…
