Help me choose a name

[name_m]Hi[/name_m]! What name(s) from my short list do you like best and why?
What should I drop?

[name_f]Amelie[/name_f]
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Lilia[/name_f]
[name_f]Lillian[/name_f]
[name_f]Miriam[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabel[/name_f] ([name_f]Isobel[/name_f], [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f]?)

TIA!

I love [name_f]Lilia[/name_f], [name_f]Miriam[/name_f], & [name_f]Isabel[/name_f]! But really all of them are lovely options. The only one I might drop is [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] because, tbh, I personally don’t love how it sounds in [name_f]English[/name_f]. :woman_shrugging:t3:

I love Amelie and Lillian! They’re gorgeous and timeless. I’d drop Miriam since it’s my least favorite from the list, only due to the sound of it.

Lillian is my favourite! It’s just so gorgeous, and flower (ish?) names are always divine :cherry_blossom:
[name_f]My[/name_f] least favourites are probably [name_f]Miriam[/name_f] and [name_f]Amelie[/name_f]. [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] is pretty, but it just doesn’t sound quite as good in [name_f]English[/name_f].

I love [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] and I think it’s my fave on your list, but the pronunciation can get messed up depending on where you live; for instance, I live in the US and our accent ruins the name. Other favorites are [name_f]Isabel[/name_f] (w/ that spelling) and [name_f]Amelia[/name_f].

Miriam, [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] and [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] are lovely.

Amelia is my least favourite

I personally love [name_f]Amelie[/name_f], [name_f]Lilia[/name_f] and [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Amelie[/name_f] sounds so sweat
[name_f]Lilia[/name_f] I love But picture more as a nn for [name_f]Lilianna[/name_f] or some name of the kind
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] is my absolute favourite from your options, I love the nn [name_f]Belle[/name_f] it looks like she is just a princess but if she prefers she can also go by [name_u]Isa[/name_u]/ [name_f]Izzie[/name_f]
The one that I would drop would either be [name_f]Miriam[/name_f] (not my cup of tea But still cute) or [name_f]Isobel[/name_f] ( I prefer other spellings)

I really like all these names but my favourites are [name_f]Miriam[/name_f], [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] , [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] and [name_f]Isobel[/name_f].

Personally I would drop [name_f]Lilia[/name_f] and [name_f]Amelie[/name_f].

Amelie is my favourite from your list.

This is a great list! I ranked them from favorite to least favorite:

  1. Lillian
  2. Amelia
  3. Lilia
  4. Amelie
  5. Isabel
  6. Miriam

Miriam is my favourite, it’s so lovely :slight_smile:

I don’t think you should drop any of them, they all are nice, I’d drop [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] just because of personal preference.

I love [name_f]Miriam[/name_f] and [name_f]Isobel[/name_f].

Least favorite is probably [name_f]Amelia[/name_f].

Hi there.

Lovely list! Here is my favorite to least favorite-

Amelia-Well, this is my favorite. It’s my kitty’s name (I named her 15 years ago…a little ahead of the trends, right? :smile_cat: ) I just love how it’s so classic & smart & feminine but not frilly. It’s such a good balance of bold & bookish. And even though it’s my favorite, I wouldn’t advise using it if you’re worried about popularity. It’s very popular.

Lilia-This is another long time love of mine. It’s so elegant & slightly mysterious & has beautiful floral imagery. It’s sweet & lovable & just has a peaceful yet spunky vibe. Somehow it hasn’t caught on to popularity yet like other ‘[name_f]Lily[/name_f]’ names.

Miriam-I think that if you don’t want your little one to share a name with lots of her peers, [name_f]Miriam[/name_f] is the way to go from your list. And it’s a fantastic name! It has a sweet old lady feel, but also feels bright & fresh at the same time. [name_m]Just[/name_m] has a very pleasant sound.

Lillian-I like this too. It’s kind of like [name_f]Lilia[/name_f]’s more polished serious sister. It’s more popular. And I prefer [name_f]Lilian[/name_f], because it seems to make more sense to me since [name_f]Lily[/name_f] & [name_f]Lilia[/name_f] & [name_f]Liliana[/name_f] usually both have one ‘l’. But [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] is more well known.

Isabel ([name_f]Isobel[/name_f], [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f])-This is a good name too, but it doesn’t sparkle as much as some of the others. And the fact that any way you spell it, I feel like it will be a headache. I personally really like [name_f]Isobel[/name_f]. Unless you plan on calling her ‘[name_f]Belle[/name_f]’, than maybe [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] makes the most sense. I also like the nns [name_u]Izzy[/name_u] & Ibbi!

Hope this helps. :slight_smile:

[name_f]My[/name_f] favorites are all but [name_f]Amelia[/name_f], [name_f]Isabel[/name_f], and [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] (though I really like the [name_f]Isobel[/name_f] spelling)! If I were to pick a top favorite, it would probably be [name_f]Miriam[/name_f], with [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] in close second.
