I’m from the US, but I’ll give my opinion anyway!

1. I love [name]Anneliese[/name]! In addition to [name]Angelica[/name] reminding me of the bratty girl from the Rugrats, [name]Anneliese[/name] flows better with your last name.
2. [name]Cecily[/name]! I’ve never been a big fan of [name]Celeste[/name], for some reason. [name]Cecily[/name] is just so sweet and adorable.
3. [name]Rosaline[/name] v [name]Rosanna[/name]: I can’t decide! I love them both!
4. [name]Jessamine[/name]! [name]Tessa[/name] feels incomplete to me, and [name]Jessamine[/name] has an exotic flair but still feels familiar.
5. [name]Thea[/name], although by itself I like [name]Mira[/name] a little more. [name]Thea[/name] I feel goes better with your last name.
6. [name]Seraphine[/name], because it’s a very beautiful and elegant name, and I don’t like [name]Adeline[/name] pronounced like that.
7. [name]Milena[/name]. I just really dislike the name [name]Maeve[/name], and it doesn’t really sound good with your last name.
8. [name]Love[/name] them both, but I like [name]Aria[/name] a bit more.

I’m in the U.S. as well. My two cents:

1. [name]Angelica[/name]
2. [name]Cecily[/name]
3. [name]Rosanna[/name]
4. [name]Tessa[/name]
5. [name]Mira[/name] v [name]Thea[/name]-- I actually like both of these, though I’d assume [name]Thea[/name] to be a nn
6. [name]Adeline[/name]-- This will probably get mispronounced a lot…
7. [name]Maeve[/name]
8. [name]Aria[/name] v [name]Tabitha[/name]-- Like both of these. If you have any sort of musical background, [name]Aria[/name] is a great choice

1. [name]Angelica[/name] v [name]Anneliese[/name]. I do have that association with [name]Angelica[/name] (Rugrats). It’s not terrible and kids today won’t have that, but I still do.
2. [name]Cecily[/name] v [name]Celeste[/name]. [name]Just[/name] not a fan of [name]Cecily[/name].
3. [name]Rosaline[/name] v [name]Rosanna[/name]. Not a huge fan of either but [name]Rosaline[/name] slightly wins.
4. [name]Jessamine[/name] v [name]Tessa[/name]. I never understood the appeal of [name]Jessamine[/name], sorry.
5. [name]Mira[/name] v [name]Thea[/name]. [name]Thea[/name] seems incomplete and I like the sound of [name]Mira[/name] more.
6. [name]Adeline[/name] v [name]Seraphine[/name]. Though I do prefer [name]Seraphina[/name]. Beautiful name. [name]Adeline[/name] is ok, but I’d pronounce it ad-uh-line.
7. [name]Maeve[/name] v [name]Milena[/name] - I had a Mazda Millenia as my first car, and that’s what [name]Milena[/name] reminds me of.
8. [name]Aria[/name] v [name]Tabitha[/name]. [name]Both[/name] are nice but I love [name]Aria[/name]! I’d love to use it myself but I worked at a place with that name so it might be kind of weird.

1. [name]Anneliese[/name] – [name]Angelica[/name] makes me think of the bratty girl from Rugrats. That’s really the only reason I dislike it.
2. [name]Cecily[/name] – lol was thinking of Sicily. It sounds a like and confused me >.< I like the sound of this one better the Celeste (I don’t really like Celeste I just picked it last time cause I read Cecily and Sicily) Be prepared though, other people are bound to look at it wrong too.
3. [name]Rosaline[/name] – [name]Rosaline[/name] is so pretty! There’s nothing wrong with [name]Rosanna[/name], I just like [name]Rosaline[/name] a lot more
4. [name]Jessamine[/name] – [name]Tessa[/name] is a little boring to me, but [name]Jessamine[/name] is cute but provides nice nns and ages well
5. [name]Thea[/name] – This one was hard but I prefer [name]Thea[/name] for the meaning and the sounds.
6. [name]Seraphine[/name] – I don’t like [name]Adeline[/name] in any pronunciation but I dislike yours the most. I have a cute little nice named [name]Seraphine[/name] and I think the name is bold but not too out there.
7. [name]Milena[/name] – I’ve never really liked the sound of [name]Maeve[/name]. I prefer names with more syllables and flowing vowels sounds
8. [name]Aria[/name] – I hate [name]Tabitha[/name] with an unreasonable passion. I’ve never known a nice one. They’ve all been vindictive, abusive people. I’m sure it’s a nice name, but I can’t shake the connection to the [name]Tabitha[/name]'s I’ve known.

[name]AH[/name]! You’re completely right, I was thinking of [name]Sicily[/name]. facepalm

In which case, I’m changing my vote to [name]Cecily[/name].

@ljandrl

[name]Hi[/name] guys, these are the names left on our long list, in pairs of names that are too close to use together. [name]Aria[/name] and [name]Tabitha[/name] were the two left. I would use those two together but please pick your favourite anyway! Thanks

Surname is [name]Morgan[/name].

1. [name]Angelica[/name] v [name]Anneliese[/name]
2. [name]Cecily[/name] v [name]Celeste[/name]
3. [name]Rosaline[/name] v [name]Rosanna[/name]
4. [name]Jessamine[/name] v [name]Tessa[/name]
5. [name]Mira[/name] v [name]Thea[/name]
6. [name]Adeline[/name] v [name]Seraphine[/name] (ad-uh-leen)
7. [name]Maeve[/name] v [name]Milena[/name]
8. [name]Aria[/name] v [name]Tabitha[/name]

If you have time to give reasons for your choices that would be even more helpful! We started with about 35 and you guys have helped us narrow it down a lot, but we really love all the 16 we have left. I’d love to get down to an even 10 though and these votes will help!

If you happen to live in the UK/[name]Ireland[/name] or Australia/NZ, please can you mention it in your reply as I’m very interested in which names would go down the best in these places. We live in the UK and hope to emigrate to Australia eventually.

Thanks guys!

[name]Anneliese[/name]. I don’t like how [name]Angelica[/name] has the word “[name]Angel[/name]” in it (as if that were some sort of prerequisite to having a child with good moral standing). [name]Anneliese[/name] [name]Morgan[/name] sounds like a lovely name to me.

[name]Celeste[/name]. This name has a nice meaning.

Neither, I prefer the original ([name]Rose[/name]) on its own.

[name]Tessa[/name]. [name]Jessamine[/name] sounds a little “mean” and it’s a poor variation of [name]Jasmine[/name]/[name]Jessie[/name].

I love [name]Thea[/name] and [name]Mira[/name]. [name]Both[/name] are easy to say and spell based on sound.

[name]Adeline[/name]. You can always call her “[name]Adele[/name]” as a nickname. [name]Adeline[/name] [name]Morgan[/name].

[name]Milena[/name] has a nice definition.

Either/or

[name]Hope[/name] this helps.

[ashthedreamer]

1. [name]Angelica[/name] v [name]Anneliese[/name] (ahhh, I can’t decide! I like [name]Anneliese[/name] better but I’ve grown to love [name]Angelica[/name]/[name]Angelina[/name] and I think [name]Angelica[/name] [name]Morgan[/name] sounds adorable… and I think it flows much better than [name]Anneliese[/name] [name]Morgan[/name]. [name]Anneliese[/name] slightly wins it for me… such a stunning name!)
2. [name]Cecily[/name]
3. [name]Rosanna[/name]
4. [name]Tessa[/name]
5. [name]Thea[/name]
6. [name]Seraphine[/name] (ad-uh-leen)
7. [name]Milena[/name]
8. [name]Aria[/name] v [name]Tabitha[/name] (would you consider keeping both in one combo? I think [name]Aria[/name] [name]Tabitha[/name] is to die for… although if I have to nix one, it would be [name]Tabitha[/name], much as I love both!)

[name]Anneliese[/name]

I am Australian and I live in a small town and know 2 [name]Adele[/name]'s which is close to [name]Adeline[/name] and could be a nickname. Ok I vote

1. [name]Angelica[/name] v [name]Anneliese[/name]: [name]Anneliese[/name]
2. [name]Cecily[/name] v [name]Celeste[/name]: I don’t like either cos [name]Cecily[/name] sounds like a nickname for [name]Cecelia[/name] but I vote [name]Celeste[/name]
3. [name]Rosaline[/name] v [name]Rosanna[/name]: I prefer [name]Rosalie[/name] but out of those 2 I vote [name]Rosanna[/name]
4. [name]Jessamine[/name] v [name]Tessa[/name]: [name]Will[/name] the nickname for [name]Jessamine[/name] be [name]Jess[/name] as [name]Jessica[/name] is a very common name in Australia which is why I vote [name]Tessa[/name]
5. [name]Mira[/name] v [name]Thea[/name]: [name]Both[/name] sound like nicknames but I prefer [name]Thea[/name]
6. [name]Adeline[/name] v [name]Seraphine[/name] (ad-uh-leen): i prefer [name]Adele[/name] and [name]Seraphina[/name] but in Australia [name]Sarah[/name] is very common so if Serphine will be called [name]Sarah[/name] that could be a problem. But I vote [name]Seraphine[/name]
7. [name]Maeve[/name] v [name]Milena[/name]: I am voting [name]Milena[/name] as [name]Mila[/name] has been used by quite a few australian celebs and [name]Milena[/name] will (probably) be shooting up the charts as well as [name]Mila[/name] and [name]Milla[/name].
8. [name]Aria[/name] v [name]Tabitha[/name]: I vote [name]Tabitha[/name] as [name]Aria[/name] is a bit modern for me.

To find out more about Australian names Waltzing More Than [name]Matilda[/name] is really great

1. [name]Angelica[/name] v [name]Anneliese[/name]
2. [name]Cecily[/name] v [name]Celeste[/name]
3. [name]Rosaline[/name] v [name]Rosanna[/name]
4. [name]Jessamine[/name] v [name]Tessa[/name]
5. [name]Mira[/name] v [name]Thea[/name]

7. [name]Maeve[/name] v [name]Milena[/name]
8. [name]Aria[/name] v [name]Tabitha[/name]

[emiliana]

With [name]Claudie[/name] and [name]Penelope[/name] use [name]Claudia[/name] as that is quite common and you can call her [name]Claudie[/name] and as for [name]Penelope[/name] I am not a big fan as it sounds middle aged “[name]Penny[/name]” but [name]Poppy[/name] is really popular in Australia

[kerrie]

(From the US)

1. [name]Anneliese[/name] sounds sweeter than [name]Angelica[/name]… [name]Angel[/name] names make me think of a spoiled baby…
2. Slightly prefer [name]Celeste[/name], but [name]Cecily[/name] is beautiful too
3. [name]Rosanna[/name] has better nn potential and seems more unique than [name]Rosaline[/name]
4. [name]Jessamine[/name] is a better syllable flow with your last name than [name]Tessa[/name], but I like them both
5. [name]Thea[/name] … I prefer not to have the same first and last initial (v [name]Mira[/name])
6. [name]Seraphine[/name] would stand apart from the sea of [name]Addie[/name]'s more than [name]Adeline[/name]
7. [name]Milena[/name] is refreshing… [name]Maeve[/name] still seems a little dated to me
8. [name]Tabitha[/name] sounds better w/ [name]Morgan[/name]… but [name]Aria[/name] is adorable too!

[rachelerin]

Here are the ones I’d keep…

[name]Anneliese[/name]
[name]Cecily[/name]
[name]Rosaline[/name]
[name]Tessa[/name]
[name]Thea[/name]
[name]Seraphine[/name]
[name]Maeve[/name]
[name]Tabitha[/name]

My favorites are [name]Tessa[/name], [name]Seraphine[/name] & [name]Cecily[/name]!
