Evelyn/Abigail/Eleanor/Zoe

Girl Names
1

Please help us choose a baby girl name. We like all the names above but finding it hard to choose. No negative comments though please.

Thanks :slight_smile:

All of your choices are nice, but my favorite is [name_f]Abigail[/name_f]. I like that the name has history and strength and a variety of nicknames. I like [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] for the same reason, but [name_f]Abigail[/name_f] is my favorite.

3

I like all the names. I love [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] for the nickname [name_f]Evie[/name_f] and [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] for the nickname [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] or [name_f]Elle[/name_f]. I like [name_f]Abigail[/name_f] and prefer the nickname [name_u]Abi[/name_u] spelt this way. [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] is to short for a nickname but I love it.

4

[name_f]Zoe[/name_f] or [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] are my favourites - both are lovely :slight_smile:

5

No surprise, [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] is my favorite. I love the sound of it, its history, and the nickname options ([name_f]Ellie[/name_f], [name_f]Elle[/name_f], [name_f]Nellie[/name_f], [name_f]Nell[/name_f], [name_f]Nora[/name_f], [name_u]Nori[/name_u], [name_f]Leni[/name_f]).

I really like [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u], too, though – I love the nickname [name_f]Evie[/name_f]!

[name_f]Abigail[/name_f] is a name I’m neutral about. It’s perfectly nice but I’ve just never fallen in love with it, or with the nickname [name_u]Abby[/name_u].

[name_f]Zoe[/name_f] is nice enough, but a different style than the other names [name_f]IMO[/name_f] and a bit too trendy for me.

6

I love [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] but they’re all nice options. Would you consider pairing up these options FN MN? For example [name_f]Abigail[/name_f] [name_f]Zoe[/name_f]?

7

I love both [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] and [name_f]Abigail[/name_f], but you couldn’t go wrong with any of them!

8

My favorite is [name_f]Zoe[/name_f], it feels so fresh and bright with that zippy Z and I like the meaning of “life”.
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] comes second for me, the full name is a bit dull to me but I love the nn potential! [name_f]Ellie[/name_f], [name_f]Ella[/name_f], [name_f]Lena[/name_f], [name_f]Nora[/name_f]…
[name_f]Abigail[/name_f] is sweet, although very common…
I don’t like [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] at all, it feels kind of bland. I much prefer the variation of [name_f]Evelina[/name_f], or simply [name_f]Eva[/name_f].

9

I like all of these names. When it comes down to it, our criteria may be different, but mine is:

  1. Not overly popular, but recognizable and easy to pronounce/spell: this rules out [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] and [name_f]Abigail[/name_f], given that they’re both in the top 15.

  2. Versatile/suitable for a variety of personalities: [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] and [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] both feel like they’d suit a variety of people.

  3. Nickname options: [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] and [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] both check this box for me too.

  4. Timelessness: I think both names age fairly well, but [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] a bit more so to me.

So I’d choose [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]. I went through all that criteria because, sound-wise, the names are all pretty evenly tied for me. [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] is actually a really sweet and unexpected combination, if you don’t already have a middle name chosen.

10

You are having trouble because you have four beautiful choices. It’s hard to pick, but I vote for [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u]

11

I love [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] and [name_f]Abigail[/name_f], and also like [name_f]Zoe[/name_f].

12

You have a lovely list. If I had to choose, [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] is my favourite, followed by [name_f]Abigail[/name_f].

13

My favorite would be [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] because it has a nice meaning followed by [name_f]Abigail[/name_f]. I’m not a huge fan of the nickname [name_u]Abby[/name_u] though. [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] would also be a good choice since you would be giving her options for a nickname :slight_smile:

14

I love [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] and [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u]. The Z and V in them give it a bit of pop and life and I love [name_f]Evie[/name_f] as a nickname for [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u].
[name_f]Abigail[/name_f] is a name I’ve never really cared for (neither like nor dislike), and most [name_f]Abigail[/name_f]'s shorten their name to [name_u]Abby[/name_u] which I’m not crazy about either.
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] seems a bit too stern and maternal for my taste, but I do like all the nickname options that come with it.

15

All your options are lovely! [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] and [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] are on my own list, so I am most drawn to them personally (and [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] most of all, as she’s probably number six currently!), but [name_f]Abigail[/name_f] was my first favorite girls’ name, so I’ll always have a soft spot for her! I think [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] is getting my vote, and I’d rank them [name_f]Zoe[/name_f], [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f], [name_f]Abigail[/name_f], then [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u]. [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u]'s gorgeous, and I love [name_f]Evie[/name_f], but I’m just more drawn to other [name_f]Eve[/name_f] names, especially just [name_f]Eva[/name_f] and [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f].

Good luck!

I’ve never liked [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] or [name_f]Abigail[/name_f]. No specific reason, they’re just not my taste.
However I love [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] and [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]! I even know an [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u]!
I think [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] would be great because so many people shorten it to [name_f]Ellie[/name_f]/[name_f]Ella[/name_f] etc but keeping it as the full name would be so refreshing! I would love to meet an [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f].

17

They are all very pretty. I’ve seen several [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] baby girls in the last year so I’m a bit bored of it but I do love all the variations of it and possible nicknames. I love [name_f]Abigail[/name_f] / [name_u]Abby[/name_u]. It’s on my list too.

[name_f]Zoe[/name_f] is my least favorite because there’s not much you can do in terms of nicknames. Still a very pretty name!

18

I really love [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] and [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] :). I also like [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] and [name_f]Abigail[/name_f]. Beautiful names!

19

[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] is my favorite, followed by [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] then [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u]. I think [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] and [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] both have great nickname options, but [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] also offers “[name_m]Zo[/name_m]” or “[name_f]Zuzu[/name_f]” (It’s a wonderful life, anyone?).

All of the names are great choices, you can’t go wrong.

These are all lovely choices! In order, these are my favourites:

  1. [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]
  2. [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u]
  3. [name_f]Zoe[/name_f]
  4. [name_f]Abigail[/name_f]
