Thanks!

Great list! I love:
[name]Eva[/name]
[name]Violet[/name]
[name]Nora[/name] - [name]LOVE[/name]
[name]Lila[/name]
[name]Eden[/name]

I think [name]Leah[/name] and [name]Anna[/name] are sweet, I prefer [name]June[/name] and [name]Katherine[/name] as middles and I’m not find of any of the [name]Julie[/name] names.
When I hear [name]Noelle[/name], I just think [name]Christmas[/name] carols, it seems a little tacky to me.

These are the ones I really like from your list. Beautiful choices!

[name]Leah[/name]
[name]Anna[/name]
[name]Audrey[/name]
[name]Julia[/name]
[name]Katherine[/name]
[name]Harper[/name] (really cute unisex name)
[name]Eva[/name]
[name]Julianna[/name]
[name]Eden[/name]
[name]Juliet[/name]
[name]Noelle[/name]

I love the femininity of these names. [name]Harper[/name] is just plain COOL!

I like all of these:

[name]Leah[/name] - [name]Love[/name] it. Soft, pretty, great historic roots without being heavy. Simple to spell/pronounce.
[name]Katherine[/name] - Would prefer either [name]Katharine[/name] as in Hepburn or [name]Catherine[/name] which I think is softer looking. But I prefer [name]Cat[/name] to [name]Kate[/name]/[name]Katie[/name] as a nickname so there’s that.
[name]Violet[/name] - [name]Love[/name] it to bits. I love floral names.
[name]Nora[/name] - Rather [name]Art[/name] Deco and flapper-ish, I like it.
[name]Lila[/name] - I like it a lot, but consider [name]Leah[/name] to have the edge for classic.
[name]Julianna[/name] - I’d like it if spelt [name]Juliana[/name]. If kept with two n’s I’d drop it from the list.
[name]Hazel[/name] - Did I say I love floral names? I meant I love botanical names. [name]Hazel[/name] is on my list too.
[name]Juliet[/name] - A bit more tailored than [name]Juliana[/name]. I like it, but not more than some of your other choices.

[name]Leah[/name] – Nice!
[name]Anna[/name] – Nice. My daughter is a fan of this name.
[name]Audrey[/name] - I’ve always liked it.
[name]Julia[/name] - I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Julia[/name]. It’s one of my top favorites.
[name]Katherine[/name] - [name]Lovely[/name] name; although, I do prefer [name]Catherine[/name].
[name]Harper[/name] - Not my style at all
[name]Eva[/name] – Gorgeous! [name]One[/name] of my all-time favorites!
[name]Violet[/name] – [name]LOVE[/name] it!
[name]Nora[/name] - Very nice!
[name]Lila[/name] - Pretty!
[name]Julianna[/name] - So gorgeous! My daughter loves it too.
[name]Eden[/name] - [name]Love[/name] it!
[name]Cora[/name] - Very nice!
[name]Hazel[/name] - Nice!
[name]Juliet[/name] - Pretty!
[name]Noelle[/name] - Nice!
[name]June[/name] - Okay

[name]Love[/name]:
[name]Anna[/name]
[name]Audrey[/name] (perhaps my favorite girl’s name ever)
[name]Katherine[/name]
[name]Hazel[/name]
[name]June[/name]

Like:
[name]Leah[/name]
[name]Violet[/name]
[name]Nora[/name]
[name]Lila[/name]
[name]Cora[/name]
[name]Eva[/name]

Not for me:
[name]Julia[/name] (I like [name]Julie[/name] ok. Not sure why this bugs me as much as it does)
[name]Harper[/name] (I like some trendy unisex/occupational names, but I never really liked this one)
[name]Julianna[/name] (reminds me of Giuliani when I say it. It really doesn’t feel as feminine as it looks)
[name]Eden[/name] (I’ve heard of call girls who pick this name for themselves)
[name]Juliet[/name] (Not a great role model)
[name]Noelle[/name] (I like [name]Noel[/name] for a boy. I’m not sure why I don’t like the crossover)

Loves:
[name]Violet[/name] - it’s a little popular for my liking but I just love the vintage feel that comes with it.
[name]Nora[/name] - This is great, short and sweet name with great history.
[name]Juliet[/name] - I love this name and while [name]Juliet[/name] from [name]Romeo[/name] & [name]Juliet[/name] isn’t the best role model I think there are enough [name]Juliet[/name]'s in history that at least one could make a great replacement. (My favorite is [name]Juliet[/name] [name]Butler[/name] from Artimes Fowl).
[name]Noelle[/name] - [name]Christmas[/name] is my favorite time of year so [name]Noelle[/name] seems like the perfect way to honor that fondness -> I’d be more likely to consider it for a spring or summer baby than a [name]Christmas[/name] kid because well somehow that’s just too on the nose.

Middles:
[name]Leah[/name] - I prefer the [name]Lea[/name] spelling. Somehow the h kills it for me. I like that it’s short and sweet. It’s a great one syllable name.
[name]Anna[/name] - It’s a great solid name, I just find it a bit standard as a choice unless it has particular meaning to you or a strong family connection. It’s one of those names I’d prefer as a mn.
[name]Eva[/name] - I always think [name]Adam[/name] and [name]Eve[/name] and then she turns into the woman who was goaded into breaking the law by a snake. Otherwise it’s a lovely name. lol.
[name]Lila[/name] - I love the sound but because I’m [name]German[/name] and it’s the [name]German[/name] word for purple I have mild issues with actually considering it a name.
[name]June[/name] - This wouldn’t really be my style because I don’t like day/month/place names but I have a soft spot for it because it was my babysitters name when I was little. I think it would make a really great mn to a more complex and out there name.

Not My Styles:
[name]Audrey[/name] - too popular for my liking. it’s a bit on the trendy shift.
[name]Julia[/name] - Too popular - also a little boring.
[name]Katherine[/name] - too popular and over done for forever.
[name]Harper[/name] - no real reason just nms.
[name]Julianna[/name] - I knew a [name]Julianna[/name] once, it’s an unfortunate connection to the name to say the least. I also really love [name]Julian[/name] for a boy so this doesn’t quite do it for me.
[name]Eden[/name] - [name]Eden[/name]'s World? Toddlers & [name]Tiara[/name]'s? anyone?
[name]Hazel[/name] - Everytime I meet a [name]Hazel[/name] I find myself thinking about wether the parents meant the color or the nut. Maybe I should rephrase every time I see the [name]Hazel[/name]'s I know. When I hear the name in context I still have that thought before I think of the girls seems counter-inuitive in choosing a name. (I have the same problem with the name [name]Ruby[/name])/

I like most of the names on this list, particularly Leah, Lila and Anna. I’m not to keen on Violet, Harper and Nora though.

Names I love from your list:

[name]Audrey[/name] - such a spunky name! and she ages well too!
[name]Cora[/name] - such a charming name - I’d love to meet a [name]Cora[/name] sometime!

Names I like from your list:

[name]Anna[/name] - I’m not sure why, but I’d really prefer [name]Anne[/name] to [name]Anna[/name]. Still, it is a pretty name.
[name]Julia[/name] - [name]Julia[/name] is definitely growing on me, but I used to think that she was only okay (where I’m from it’s pronounced ā€œjule - yuhā€ which I’m not a huge fan of, but I really like the ā€œjule - e - uhā€ pronunciation.)
[name]Nora[/name] - I really really like [name]Nora[/name]…as a nickname for [name]Eleanor[/name]. I have nothing against [name]Nora[/name] except for the fact that I love [name]Eleanor[/name] too much to only use [name]Nora[/name].
[name]Juliet[/name] - I alternate between finding this one sweet and finding it a little too girly. Also, I was never a huge fan of [name]Shakespeare[/name]'s plays (although I do like [name]Hamlet[/name]), so that literary reference doesn’t do anything for me.
[name]Violet[/name] - I find [name]Violet[/name] both spunky and refreshing, but for some reason, I just can’t picture the name on a middle aged woman.
[name]June[/name] - is an excellent middle name, but for some reason it feels a little ā€œplain [name]Jane[/name]ā€ to me as a first name.

Names that are not my style:

[name]Leah[/name] - a solid name, I’ve just never found it attractive for some reason.
[name]Katherine[/name] - I’m just tired of this name, honestly. If a girl’s name isn’t [name]Elizabeth[/name] or [name]Sarah[/name], [name]Katherine[/name] is a good third guess. So basically, my only issue with the name is that I’ve known way too many and find it a little boring. BUT, it is a nice enough classic.
[name]Harper[/name] - just not my style.
[name]Eva[/name] - again, not my style. I’d prefer [name]Eve[/name] or [name]Ava[/name] to [name]Eva[/name].
[name]Lila[/name] - too cutesy, I think, for my taste.
[name]Julianna[/name] - does nothing for me - and I find it a little over the top girly (but I’m pretty picky about that kind of thing - I like feminine but not frilly)
[name]Eden[/name] - is alright. I’d prefer hearing [name]Edith[/name], though.
[name]Hazel[/name] - is just not as attractive to me as other color names such as [name]Violet[/name] or [name]Scarlet[/name], but I honestly couldn’t tell you why that was.
[name]Noelle[/name] - not my style.

[name]Leah[/name] - nice. tad on the boring side
[name]Anna[/name] - nice and classic, nothing special about it thoug
[name]Audrey[/name] - I love [name]Audrey[/name]! I’ve loved it since Raising [name]Helen[/name], but it is on the rise/popular
[name]Julia[/name] - OK
[name]Katherine[/name] - lovely
[name]Harper[/name] - I quite like [name]Harper[/name], even though it’s not really my style
[name]Eva[/name] - lovely
[name]Violet[/name] - it’s OK. I don’t think it’s as great as everyone makes it out to be
[name]Nora[/name] - favourite
[name]Lila[/name] - nice. Prefer [name]Lilac[/name]
[name]Julianna[/name] - there’s something off about this name. [name]Don[/name]'t like it sorry
[name]Eden[/name] - nice. Prefer [name]Edith[/name] or even just [name]Edie[/name] to [name]Eden[/name].
[name]Cora[/name] - lovely
[name]Hazel[/name] - OK. I don’t love it as much as most
[name]Juliet[/name] - ditto
[name]Noelle[/name] - nice.
[name]June[/name] - love this so sweet.

[name]June[/name], [name]Katherine[/name] and [name]Nora[/name] are my faves.

[name]Leah[/name]- A tad boring, but it’s nice enough.
[name]Anna[/name]- This is sweet, but again, a tad dull.
[name]Audrey[/name]- Though I love the [name]Audrey[/name] Hepburn association, it feels very popular.
[name]Julia[/name]- Like this, prefer it to [name]Julie[/name].
[name]Katherine[/name]- I like the [name]Catherine[/name] spelling more, but it’s still beautiful.
[name]Harper[/name]- Nyeh.
[name]Eva[/name]- So pretty!
[name]Violet[/name]- Really love this, despite the popularity.
[name]Nora[/name]- Also really liking this, as a nickname for [name]Eleanor[/name] mainly.
[name]Lila[/name]- I don’t really care for it.
[name]Julianna[/name]- Pretty, but I like [name]Julia[/name]/[name]Juliet[/name] more.
[name]Eden[/name]- It’s alright.
[name]Cora[/name]- [name]Love[/name] [name]Cora[/name]! Very classy, very Downton [name]Abbey[/name].
[name]Hazel[/name]- Also really liking [name]Hazel[/name]. [name]Hazel[/name] and [name]Cora[/name] would make great sisters.
[name]Juliet[/name]- Really like [name]Juliet[/name], especially in the middle spot.
[name]Noelle[/name]- Nice enough.
[name]June[/name]- Really like [name]June[/name]. Very sweet.

You have a good list! I hope I wasn’t too harsh!

  • [name]Athena[/name]

[name]Leah[/name]- pretty and classic!
[name]Anna[/name]- I’ve honestly never met a nice person with this name, so it has bad associations for me
[name]Audrey[/name]- I love this and I don’t even care that it’s trendy
[name]Julia[/name]- I’ve always liked it
[name]Katherine[/name]-prefer it spelled [name]Catherine[/name], because it’s my middle name :slight_smile:
[name]Harper[/name]- Not my style
[name]Eva[/name]- pretty but sounds very similar to the super popular [name]Ava[/name]
[name]Violet[/name]-[name]Love[/name]!!
[name]Nora[/name]- I just don’t like the sound of it
[name]Julianna[/name]-gorgeous!!
[name]Eden[/name]-Not my style
[name]Cora[/name]- same as [name]Nora[/name]
[name]Hazel[/name]- My friend has a cat named [name]Hazel[/name], so it just seems like a cat name to me
[name]Juliet[/name]- really pretty!
[name]Noelle[/name]-I love it!
[name]June[/name]- I’m not a big fan of it, but it could make a cute mn!

[name]Leah[/name] - cute. [name]Even[/name] though I know it stands on its own, I always want to make it a nn for something, like [name]Azalea[/name], [name]Aurelia[/name], [name]Natalia[/name], [name]Julia[/name], [name]Lilia[/name]/[name]Liliana[/name], etc.
[name]Anna[/name] - classic and sweet. I almost prefer the more plain [name]Anne[/name], though. I love [name]Anne[/name] nn [name]Annie[/name] (or even [name]Annabel[/name], [name]Anneliese[/name], [name]Annika[/name], [name]Hannah[/name], etc, nn [name]Annie[/name]).
[name]Audrey[/name] - love [name]Audrey[/name]. It’s so classic and simple, but so striking and regal. I love it.
[name]Julia[/name] - I love this one, too. I had a very dear friend named [name]Julia[/name]. I don’t see much of her any more, but I do really love the name, and that it reminds me of her. :slight_smile: I don’t think you could do [name]Leah[/name] and [name]Julia[/name] together, though.
[name]Katherine[/name] - [name]LOVE[/name] it, so much, but I would only ever use [name]Catherine[/name]. The ā€œKā€ is just too harsh for me. I love the nns [name]Cate[/name], [name]Kitty[/name], and [name]Wren[/name]/[name]Erin[/name].
[name]Harper[/name] - trendy and unisex and popular though it is, I still love [name]Harper[/name]. For both genders, actually. I would love to meet a baby [name]Harper[/name]. :slight_smile:
[name]Eva[/name] - love. It’s on my top 10, actually, so probably my favorite of yours. I love everything about it, except for its annoying tendency to not pair up easily, imo!
[name]Violet[/name] - I take it back, [name]Violet[/name]'s my favorite of yours! It’s on my top 4, I’d love to use it some day. It is so soft and has so much history. It doesn’t hurt that purple is my favorite color. :slight_smile:
[name]Nora[/name] - eh. I used to love [name]Nora[/name] (and then [name]Norah[/name]), and of the two, these days, I prefer [name]Norah[/name], but I still prefer [name]Cora[/name] so much more. [name]Nora[/name] just seems very harsh to me lately.
[name]Lila[/name] - really like it. If my cousin hadn’t used [name]Lyla[/name], it would probably still be on my list. I really like it. I’ve been contemplating [name]Liliana[/name] nn [name]Lila[/name] on my own list, but the nn [name]Lily[/name] is too significant to me, so I’m guessing I’ll never opt for [name]Lila[/name].
[name]Julianna[/name] - I like it a lot, but I prefer the [name]Juliana[/name] spelling. It’s just more streamlined, imo.
[name]Eden[/name] - I like it a lot. I know the cutest little two year old named [name]Edyn[/name]! She’s so spunky and precocious. :slight_smile: She goes by [name]Edie[/name], too, which I think is to die for!
[name]Cora[/name] - ahh, love [name]Cora[/name]. It’s one of those names that is super popular in my area (I’ve come across around 6-8 of them in the past several years), but I still love it. I also love [name]Coralie[/name]/[name]Cordelia[/name], nn [name]Cora[/name].
[name]Hazel[/name] - love [name]Hazel[/name], too, and it goes really well with [name]Cora[/name], imo. Another one I might have on my list if I could find something to pair it with! I liked [name]Hazel[/name] [name]Isabella[/name] for a while, but I don’t like the repeated sounds, and since [name]Isabelle[/name] is my top choice, I doubt I’ll ever get to use [name]Hazel[/name] [name]Isabella[/name] as a combo… :confused:
[name]Juliet[/name] - I like the other [name]Juli[/name]- options more. [name]Juliet[/name] as a FN just doesn’t appeal to me. It’s overrated, imo, sorry.
[name]Noelle[/name] - I like it, but as a MN only. It seems too sugary sweet as a FN. Probably because the only [name]Noelle[/name] I knew was like that–the most sugary-sweet personality I ever came across!
[name]June[/name] - eh. I want to like it because it’s my sister’s birth month and it’s a nice vintagey pick, especially for a MN, but I like [name]Jane[/name] and [name]Juniper[/name] much more.

[name]Violet[/name], [name]Eva[/name], [name]Cora[/name], and [name]Hazel[/name] are my favorites!

[name]Leah[/name] - Like it a lot. Cute but works very well on an adult too.
[name]Anna[/name] - Like.
[name]Audrey[/name] - [name]LOVE[/name]!! [name]One[/name] of my favorite names.
[name]Julia[/name] - It’s ok.
[name]Katherine[/name] - It’s a good classic. Not something I’d use, but I like it, especially because of the nickname potential (options are good!).
[name]Harper[/name] - It’s ok. Trendy [name]IMO[/name].
[name]Eva[/name] - Nice but NMS.
[name]Violet[/name] - Pretty.
[name]Nora[/name] - Like.
[name]Lila[/name] - It’s ok.
[name]Julianna[/name] - Meh.
[name]Eden[/name] - [name]Kinda[/name] like it.
[name]Cora[/name] - Like it. Prefer a longer ā€œformalā€ name though.
[name]Hazel[/name] - [name]Love[/name]!
[name]Juliet[/name] - Like a lot.
[name]Noelle[/name] - Like.
[name]June[/name] - It’s ok.

[name]Leah[/name] [name]Princess[/name] [name]Leia[/name], too biblical also
[name]Anna[/name] Nice
[name]Audrey[/name] Nice. Seems trendy. I heard ā€œ[name]Audra[/name]ā€ today … not sure what I think of that.
[name]Julia[/name] Classic, cannot go wrong.
[name]Katherine[/name] Spelling nightmare. Ok.
[name]Harper[/name] No. I don’t like at all. Trendy AND gender confused is bad.
[name]Eva[/name] Nice.
[name]Violet[/name] Too wanna-be trendy I think.
[name]Nora[/name] Nice, but still sounds dowdy to me.
[name]Lila[/name] Nice, trendy though. Double L is too overused.
[name]Julianna[/name] I don’t like combo names.
[name]Eden[/name] Nice, but sounds soap-opera-ish
[name]Cora[/name] Nice
[name]Hazel[/name] Cute …
[name]Juliet[/name] Cute, but seems wannabe. Trying too hard. Go with [name]Julia[/name].
[name]Noelle[/name] Too defining. You might as well just name her [name]Christmas[/name].
[name]June[/name] [name]June[/name] Cleaver.
