Help me finish my list

The names that are set on my list right now are [name]Clara[/name], [name]Genevieve[/name], [name]Lucia[/name], and [name]Cassia[/name]. I love so many other names though I just cannot decide which should make the list and which I should let go. Let me know what you think of these names and what type of girl you would expect to have these names. Many of the ones I don’t go with will become MNs so also feel free to make combos if you would like :smiley: (Some of these names are very similar such as [name]Estelle[/name] and [name]Giselle[/name] and I would only pick one for the list I just have a hard time deciding between them)

[name]Brigid[/name]
[name]Violet[/name] (I like this but I was talking to family recently and they all talked about how much they hated this name, does that make it a no)
[name]Vivienne[/name]
[name]Phoebe[/name]
[name]Stella[/name] or [name]Estelle[/name]
[name]Catherine[/name]
[name]Charlotte[/name]
[name]Victoria[/name] (Is this possible without a NN, I am ok with [name]Tori[/name] not a big fan though and I despise [name]Vicki[/name])
[name]Maria[/name]
[name]Josephine[/name] or [name]Josephina[/name]
[name]Ava[/name] or [name]Eva[/name]
[name]Carmen[/name]
[name]Giselle[/name] (does the first syllable make this a no)
[name]Eleanor[/name]
[name]Gemma[/name]
[name]Helena[/name]
[name]Priscilla[/name]
[name]Holland[/name]
[name]Adelaide[/name] (I like this one a lot but I am not so sure about have “Laid” as a part of her name)
[name]Laura[/name] or [name]Lauren[/name]
[name]Willa[/name]
[name]Jane[/name] (too plain?)
[name]Audrina[/name] (is this too celebrity?? I have always been fond of it but I am not sure it is actually usable or not)
[name]Anna[/name] or [name]Anya[/name] or [name]Anastasia[/name] (I am leaning towards [name]Anastasia[/name] though with [name]Anya[/name] and [name]Anna[/name] as NNs)
[name]Vera[/name]
[name]Elizabeth[/name]
[name]Tallulah[/name]
[name]Simone[/name]
[name]Colette[/name]
[name]Emily[/name]
[name]Seraphina[/name]
[name]Cecilia[/name]

Sorry that turned out so long!

[name]Brigid[/name] - I have a friend with this name, love it! She’s tall, skinny, and has long, almost black hair.
[name]Violet[/name] - I [name]LOVE[/name] this name. It might take it out if your family hates it, though. Maybe as a middle or second middle? [name]Viola[/name] is an option.
[name]Vivienne[/name] - I like this, my friend sister has this name, she is Japanese, so that’s the only way I see it now.
[name]Phoebe[/name] - babysat a girl named [name]Phoebe[/name], blonde hair, blue eyes, beautiful, I give it a 7/10
[name]Stella[/name] - [name]LOVE[/name] IT! Knew a girl named [name]Stella[/name], mocha ish skin, blonde/light brown hair, very mature
[name]Estelle[/name] - sorry, but. Really dislike this name
[name]Catherine[/name] - beautiful, but I prefer the K spelling, even though I HATE most K names.
[name]Charlotte[/name] - my sister’s name. [name]LOVE[/name] it. She has olive skin and brunette hair, she’s very skinny and has brown eyes. Very pretty. She’s sweet but very mischievous and tricky.
[name]Victoria[/name] - [name]LOVE[/name] this. Know someone with the Russian version, she is an amazing girl. I don’t like [name]Tory[/name] or [name]Vicki[/name] either, she just goes by her full name
[name]Maria[/name] - I prefer [name]Marie[/name]. This sems too Spanish to me
[name]Josephine[/name]- same with [name]Maria[/name]. I don’t like J names for girls
[name]Ava[/name]/[name]Eva[/name]- [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Ava[/name]. I pronounce [name]Eva[/name] almost the same as [name]Ava[/name], as my friend is pregnant and naming her daughter [name]Eva[/name] [name]Catherine[/name], and pn it Ay-Vuh, so I ended up getting used to that
[name]Eleanor[/name]- so sweet! I took care of a baby named [name]Eleanore[/name], but I prefer [name]Eleanor[/name].
[name]Gemma[/name] - nope. I like [name]Emma[/name], [name]Julia[/name], [name]Juliet[/name], [name]Giulia[/name], and [name]Emmaline[/name]
[name]Helena[/name] - I like this, but prefer [name]Elena[/name]. My fathers work friend is from Europe and they have twin daughters named [name]Elena[/name] and [name]Rosa[/name], and I definitely like [name]Elena[/name] more than [name]Helena[/name].
[name]Priscilla[/name] - don’t like it. It sounds like some sort of prissy insect. The cilla part gets me.
[name]Adelaide[/name] - beautiful. It is my friends middle name. I think you’re reading into and caring too much about laid and gis. It’s part of the name.
[name]Lauren[/name]- I much prefer this to [name]Laura[/name]. [name]Laura[/name] could be a nn for [name]Lauren[/name]. I really like the en ending
[name]Willa[/name] - childhood friend name, so I’m a little biased, but I like this name a lot. I like it more than [name]Willow[/name], at least.
[name]Jane[/name] - Plain [name]Jane[/name]. Maybe a mn.
[name]Audrina[/name] - waaaay too celebrity. [name]Arina[/name] or [name]Audrey[/name].
[name]Anastasia[/name]- absolute love. Beautiful. [name]Ana[/name] and [name]Anna[/name] would be good nns
[name]Vera[/name]- Too weird. I just don’t like it.
[name]Elizabeth[/name] - beautiful! A classic
[name]Tallulah[/name] - hmmmm…it’s ok
[name]Simone[/name] - I know a boy named [name]Simone[/name], and I just don’t like that it has [name]Simon[/name] in it, because I despise [name]Simon[/name]
[name]Emily[/name] - very sweet. [name]Emilie[/name] or [name]Emilia[/name] look better though
[name]Seraphina[/name]- cute! A little celebrity, but you can also use [name]Sera[/name] or [name]Nina[/name] as nns
[name]Cecilia[/name] - [name]LOVE[/name] IT

[name]Brigid[/name] - I picture a strong, willful, brave girl. I like this name but I’m not sure how well it goes with the names already on your list. Maybe as an mn?
[name]Violet[/name] - Obviously I love [name]Violet[/name]. Its become quite popular over here in the U.S so I took it off my list. But just because a family member hates it doesn’t mean you should use it. It is your “child” after all. I’m sure my -ayden name loving mother would hate most of the names on my list but I wont let that determine whether my child ends up a [name]Jack[/name] or a [name]Jayden[/name]. Use the name you love.

[name]Vivienne[/name] - This name is really sophisticated and sounds beautiful with [name]Genevieve[/name] as a sister. I couldn’t picture calling a baby [name]Vivienne[/name] though. It works well as a mn too. [name]Clara[/name] [name]Vivienne[/name] and [name]Lucia[/name] [name]Vivienne[/name] sound good have a good meaning together (light of my life :slight_smile: )

[name]Phoebe[/name] - NMS. i picture a quirky, eccentric woman like [name]Phoebe[/name] on Friends. It doesn’t really fit the style of the other names on your list.

[name]Stella[/name]/[name]Estelle[/name]- I like [name]Stella[/name] better as an fn and [name]Estelle[/name] better as an mn. [name]Both[/name] are really pretty. [name]Stella[/name] I picture as a fun loving, well rounded girl, a true star. [name]Estelle[/name] I see as a little drama queen.

[name]Catherine[/name] - a little bland but you can’t go wrong with a classic. All the [name]Catherine[/name]'s I know (spelled this way) are really smart.

[name]Charlotte[/name] - Was my favorite name until it got so popular. I love it. I picture a sweet, curious, curly haired child. Again, its a classic. You can’t go wrong.

[name]Victoria[/name] - I like it, especially with the nn [name]Toria[/name]. I’ve known a few Victorias and only two have lived up to the beauty and regality of the name. I think it can hold a lot of expectations and would be better off as an mn.

[name]Maria[/name] - needs to be used more, especially on caucasian girls. I also love simple [name]Marie[/name] as an fn. [name]Maria[/name] sounds like a girl you can look up to.

[name]Josephine[/name]/[name]Josephina[/name]: [name]Love[/name], obviously. It was my great grandma’s name. I would choose [name]Josephine[/name] with [name]Genevieve[/name] and [name]Clara[/name] and [name]Josephina[/name] if her sisters were [name]Lucia[/name] and [name]Cassia[/name]. Josephineis more vintage whereas [name]Josephina[/name] is more latin sounding. You have to decide which vibe you like best. The name [name]Josephine[/name] reminds me of that song in Titanic so I always picture kind of a [name]Kate[/name] [name]Winslet[/name] character when I hear this name.

[name]Ava[/name]/[name]Eva[/name]: [name]Eva[/name], definitely. [name]Ava[/name] is way over done. [name]Eva[/name] is [name]German[/name] and French so it goes more with [name]Genevieve[/name] and [name]Clara[/name]. It has a classic, Old Hollywood feel to it. [name]Ava[/name] did once but I feel its lost its sparkle since being in the top 10 in the U.S.

[name]Carmen[/name] - I’d loose this one. Reminds me of a Mexican teenage girl. Doesn’t go with the other names on your list except maybe [name]Lucia[/name].

[name]Giselle[/name] - The first syllable always gets me. Some people think this name is fabulous. I am not one of them. If you notice the first syllable, chances are it’ll bother you if you end up using it. [name]Genevieve[/name] has a similar feel to [name]Giselle[/name] without sounding like a type of Antelope.

[name]Eleanor[/name] - Doesn’t really match your other names. I think [name]Eleanor[/name] sounds a bit stiff. [name]Eleanora[/name] might be interesting though. The Italian form of [name]Eleanor[/name]. Sounds great with [name]Clara[/name] and [name]Lucia[/name].

[name]Gemma[/name] - [name]Love[/name]. Goes great with your other names. I’d add it.

[name]Helena[/name] - I love it pronounced Hel-lay-na. It reminds me of a strong beautiful woman.

[name]Priscilla[/name] - I’d lose it. Still reminds me of a spoiled, prissy girl.

[name]Holland[/name] - Guilty pleasure of mine. But I totally side eye a sibset of [name]Genevieve[/name], [name]Clara[/name] and [name]Holland[/name]. I’d assume [name]Holland[/name] was a boy. I like it more as an mn in this situation. [name]Clara[/name] [name]Holland[/name], [name]Eva[/name] [name]Holland[/name], [name]Anna[/name] [name]Holland[/name], & [name]Elizabeth[/name] [name]Holland[/name] sound nice.

[name]Adelaide[/name] - nms. I don’t mind the laid part but its still to stuffy for me. Its a perfectly fine name though. [name]Clara[/name] [name]Adelaide[/name] or [name]Lucia[/name] [name]Adelaide[/name] is stunning.

[name]Laura[/name]/[name]Lauren[/name] - [name]Both[/name] sound dated to me but if I had to choose [name]Laura[/name]. It was also one of my favorite names and has a little antique charm to it with the little house on the prairie association. I’d lose it if I were you.

[name]Willa[/name] - A cute name, a little quirky, but cute. [name]Willa[/name] [name]Genevieve[/name] sounds really nice and [name]Clara[/name] and [name]Willa[/name] would make super cute twins :slight_smile:

[name]Jane[/name] - I love [name]Jane[/name] in the mn spot. I think it can add class to any fn. [name]Holland[/name] [name]Jane[/name] sounds just as feminine and strong as [name]Victoria[/name] [name]Jane[/name]. As an fn I’m not too sure. I only know one [name]Jane[/name] and she kinda lives up to her name :confused:

[name]Audrina[/name] - I do think of a celebrity but paired with the right sibset it could sound really beautiful and Italian. Ex. [name]Audrina[/name], [name]Chloe[/name] and [name]Eden[/name] sound really celebrity but [name]Audrina[/name], [name]Lucia[/name] and [name]Gemma[/name] sound like three gorgeous Italian sisters. It kinda depends on the context in which its used like siblings, last name, heritage etc…at least [name]IMO[/name]

[name]Anna[/name]/[name]Anya[/name]/[name]Anastasia[/name]: I love all of these. They all remind me of the movie [name]Anastasia[/name] about the Russian princess. [name]Anna[/name] and [name]Anya[/name] can be nicknames for [name]Anastasia[/name]. [name]Anna[/name] is a little more unassuming. It goes with everything. While as if you were nn’d [name]Anya[/name] I’d assume you hailed from Eastern Europe. I’d add [name]Anastasia[/name] regardless. It’s gorgeous.

[name]Vera[/name] - Has grown on me since meeting a cute little girl named [name]Vera[/name]. [name]Vera[/name] [name]Genevieve[/name] sounds very vintage. I like it.

[name]Elizabeth[/name] - You can’t go wrong with [name]Elizabeth[/name]. [name]Elisabeth[/name] with an “s” is the french and german way of spelling it and looks adorable in a sibset with [name]Clara[/name] and [name]Genevieve[/name]. [name]Clara[/name] [name]Elisabeth[/name] looks so European and so beautiful.

[name]Tallulah[/name] - I could see working as a fabulous mn. [name]Genevieve[/name] [name]Tallulah[/name], [name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Tallulah[/name], [name]Josephine[/name] [name]Tallulah[/name]. It adds a little spice to a long vintage name that doesn’t end in an “a”

[name]Simone[/name] - nms. All I hear is “moan”.

[name]Colette[/name] -nms but bearable. I prefer [name]Cosette[/name]. [name]Genevieve[/name] [name]Colette[/name]/[name]Cosette[/name] sounds very French.

[name]Emily[/name] - I love [name]Emily[/name], I don’t love its popularity. I think this would work great as an mn or an fn, slightly more as an mn. [name]Emilie[/name], [name]Amelie[/name] and [name]Emilia[/name]/[name]Amelia[/name] are some to consider as well. [name]Emilie[/name] and [name]Emilia[/name] fit the style of your current name list better than the English [name]Emily[/name].

[name]Seraphina[/name] - [name]Love[/name] it. Makes for a really lovely fn. There is also [name]Seraphine[/name] (the french version for an mn.) [name]Lucia[/name] [name]Seraphine[/name], [name]Emilie[/name] [name]Seraphine[/name], [name]Maria[/name] [name]Seraphine[/name], & [name]Gemma[/name] [name]Seraphina[/name] are stunning.

[name]Cecilia[/name] - I like it a lot. The nn [name]Cece[/name] is adorable. I’d add it.

[name]Brigid[/name]- Pretty, but not great.
[name]Violet[/name]- If you really love this name, it doesn’t matter if your family likes it. In my opinion, it’s plain and you wouldn’t be missing out on anything if you chose to not use this name.
[name]Vivienne[/name]- [name]Lovely[/name]!
[name]Phoebe[/name]- I adore this name! So pretty. Is fun without being over-the-top.
[name]Stella[/name] or [name]Estelle[/name]- Meh.
[name]Catherine[/name]- A beautiful classic.
[name]Charlotte[/name]- Same as [name]Catherine[/name]. [name]Love[/name] the nn [name]Lottie[/name].
[name]Victoria[/name]- I like it best without nns, and I’m positive a girl can go through life as [name]Victoria[/name] (not [name]Vicki[/name] or [name]Tori[/name]). However, [name]Plum[/name] would be a cute nn.
[name]Maria[/name]- Kind of plain. I like it as a double-barrel name, like [name]Lily[/name]-[name]Maria[/name].
[name]Josephine[/name] or [name]Josephina[/name]- Very pretty, but personally I’m not a fan of any of their nicknames.
[name]Ava[/name] or [name]Eva[/name]- [name]Eva[/name]! I truly hate the name [name]Ava[/name], but love love love [name]Eva[/name]
[name]Carmen[/name]- I associate this with the [name]Lana[/name] [name]Del[/name] [name]Rey[/name] song, the chorus being: “The boys, the girls, they all like [name]Carmen[/name]/She gives them butterflies, bats her cartoon eyes/She laughs like God, her mind is like a diamond…”
[name]Giselle[/name]- I think it’s fine.
[name]Eleanor[/name]- I like it, but don’t love it.
[name]Gemma[/name]- I love love love this name!
[name]Helena[/name]- Very pretty, but not special.
[name]Priscilla[/name]- I have good associations with this name, the one I knew having been a childhood friend. She never had a problem with her name.
[name]Holland[/name]- Eh.
[name]Adelaide[/name]- Pretty, but I much prefer [name]Adelina[/name].
[name]Laura[/name] or [name]Lauren[/name]- [name]Both[/name] are lovely! I like them much better than [name]Laurel[/name].
[name]Willa[/name]- I have a really good friend with this name. I think it sounds lovely.
[name]Jane[/name]- I think it’s a tad boring.
[name]Audrina[/name]- I like this so much better than [name]Audrey[/name]!
[name]Anna[/name] or [name]Anya[/name] or [name]Anastasia[/name]- I don’t particularly care for these names.
[name]Vera[/name]- Nice!
[name]Elizabeth[/name]- Same as [name]Catherine[/name].
[name]Tallulah[/name]- I love this name! So pretty!
[name]Simone[/name]- Ugh. I don’t like this name at all.
[name]Colette[/name]- Cute.
[name]Emily[/name]- Boring.
[name]Seraphina[/name]- This name is so pretty!
[name]Cecilia[/name]- I love the nn [name]CeCe[/name], but I don’t like [name]Cecilia[/name] at all.

Names in bold are my favorites.

You have such great taste!
[name]Brigid[/name]- I really like the D version of this name. It’s so strong and beautiful!
[name]Violet[/name] (I like this but I was talking to family recently and they all talked about how much they hated this name, does that make it a no)- It doesn’t make it a no if your family hates it- it’s your choice, they can deal with it. That said, I do agree with them- it’s way, way too close to “violent” for me. That’s all I ever hear with this name.
[name]Vivienne[/name]- [name]Love[/name] it!
[name]Phoebe[/name]- [name]Neve[/name] been a fan. I don’t hate it, it’s just not my taste.
[name]Stella[/name] or [name]Estelle[/name]- I prefer [name]Stella[/name] for a first and [name]Estelle[/name] for a middle.
[name]Catherine[/name]- Classic and beautiful, especially with the C.
[name]Charlotte[/name]- Like [name]Catherine[/name], but I think it’s just a tiny bit more trendy.
[name]Victoria[/name] (Is this possible without a NN, I am ok with [name]Tori[/name] not a big fan though and I despise [name]Vicki[/name])- If you use [name]Tori[/name], [name]Toria[/name], or [name]Ria[/name] as a nickname, I don’t think people will call her [name]Vicki[/name]. As long as you provide the option, people shouldn’t do it (although [name]Vic[/name] might still happen.) I know a [name]Victoria[/name] with no nickname and a few Toris. I’ve actually met more [name]Victoria[/name]/Toris than [name]Victoria[/name]/Vickis.
[name]Maria[/name]- Very pretty
[name]Josephine[/name] or [name]Josephina[/name]- [name]Josephine[/name] is more popular on nameberry, but I like [name]Josephina[/name] more, personally. I like the cadence of it; the fourth syllable makes it so much more melodious.
[name]Ava[/name] or [name]Eva[/name]- Honestly I love [name]Ava[/name]. It is very trendy, but I don’t care. It’s great. And without too many variant spellings, you won’t have to worry about misspelling/mispronunciation like you would with [name]Sophia[/name]/[name]Sofia[/name]/[name]Sophie[/name]/[name]Sofie[/name] or [name]Emily[/name]/[name]Emilie[/name]/[name]Emma[/name] [name]Leigh[/name]/[name]Emmalee[/name] etc. The popularity as listed will be very accurate. [name]Eva[/name] is nice as well.
[name]Carmen[/name]- I like this because it’s feminine but not at all frilly.
[name]Giselle[/name] (does the first syllable make this a no)- Not at all. I know several Giselles (in several spellings) and none have ever had a problem to my knowledge. I love this name; it seems very energetic to me.
[name]Eleanor[/name]- Beautiful
[name]Gemma[/name]- Also beautiful.
[name]Helena[/name]- A lot of pronunciations with this one- is it huh-[name]LAY[/name]-na, huh-[name]LEE[/name]-na, or HELL-in-a? All are attractive, but it’s a difficult name.
[name]Priscilla[/name]- I get the appeal. It’s nice. Not my favorite, but I don’t dislike it.
[name]Holland[/name]- Not a fan. Least favorite here.
[name]Adelaide[/name] (I like this one a lot but I am not so sure about have “Laid” as a part of her name)- I think it’s fine, and [name]Adelaide[/name] is a well-known and lovely name. You might like variant Aleydis as well.
[name]Laura[/name] or [name]Lauren[/name]- Fine, but a little overused for my taste. Not bad, though.
[name]Willa[/name]- Very nice.
[name]Jane[/name] (too plain?)- The only reason people think [name]Jane[/name] is plain is because it rhymes. [name]Jane[/name] is lovely and rather uncommon for babies!
[name]Audrina[/name] (is this too celebrity?? I have always been fond of it but I am not sure it is actually usable or not)- Yes, too celebrity for my taste.
[name]Anna[/name] or [name]Anya[/name] or [name]Anastasia[/name] (I am leaning towards [name]Anastasia[/name] though with [name]Anya[/name] and [name]Anna[/name] as NNs)- I love [name]Anna[/name]. It’s probably my favorite of the common classic names ([name]Anna[/name], [name]Elizabeth[/name], [name]Katherine[/name], [name]Margaret[/name], etc.) I like [name]Anastasia[/name] as well, and you may be smart to give her the various nickname options. I think that’s a great thing about [name]Anastasia[/name]- there’s a ridiculous number of nickname options. [name]Anna[/name] or [name]Anya[/name] are more traditional, [name]Asia[/name] or [name]Tasia[/name] are more modern, [name]Stasy[/name]/[name]Stacey[/name] is somewhere in between, and there are plenty more to choose from.
[name]Vera[/name]- [name]Love[/name] it.
[name]Elizabeth[/name]- Like [name]Anastasia[/name], lots of great nicknames.
[name]Tallulah[/name]- Too over the top for me. I completely see the appeal, but I just can’t like it. It’s silly to me, much too much for an average person to wear. You kind of have to be [name]Tallulah[/name] Bankhead to pull it off. I think [name]Lula[/name] or [name]Alula[/name] are better, more wearable alternatives.
[name]Simone[/name]- [name]Lovely[/name]! And a very unique sound.
[name]Colette[/name]- [name]Love[/name] this too.
[name]Emily[/name]- I really like it and it’s stunning, but I think there might be enough Emilys. The [name]Em[/name]- family of names are the only thing that I think come close to being a new [name]Jennifer[/name]. It is wonderful, but most Emilys I know, even adults, are a bit tired of sharing their name.
[name]Seraphina[/name]- Beautiful
[name]Cecilia[/name]- Also beautiful

Top picks are: [name]Josephina[/name], [name]Carmen[/name], [name]Vera[/name], [name]Jane[/name], [name]Eleanor[/name], [name]Brigid[/name] and [name]Giselle[/name].
Least Favorites: [name]Holland[/name], [name]Violet[/name], [name]Audrina[/name]

[name]Brigid[/name] - Like this, but prefer other variants of it moreso, like [name]Brigitta[/name]
[name]Violet[/name] - I really really don’t understand the [name]Violet[/name] love that’s going on all the time???
[name]Vivienne[/name] - Such a pretty name, [name]Star[/name]-[name]Baby[/name] name though.
[name]Phoebe[/name] - I don’t get the appeal of [name]Phoebe[/name], I picture [name]Phoebe[/name] from Friends, or [name]Phoebe[/name] from The [name]Magic[/name] School Bus
[name]Stella[/name] or [name]Estelle[/name] - [name]Stella[/name] by far, but honestly, neither for me.
[name]Catherine[/name] - Can’t go wrong with a Classic.
[name]Charlotte[/name] - [name]Charlotte[/name] is pretty with lots of nn potential, getting quite popular it seems
[name]Victoria[/name] - I have the same issues with this name as you do. None of the nn’s are that appealing but [name]Victoria[/name] is gorgeous.
[name]Maria[/name] - [name]Just[/name] okay, spunky than [name]Marie[/name], but still feels plain
[name]Josephine[/name] or [name]Josephina[/name] - I really want to like [name]Josephine[/name] because of [name]Little[/name] Women, but I just can’t get on board!
[name]Ava[/name] or [name]Eva[/name] - [name]Love[/name] both options, [name]Ava[/name] is very popular but has that old hollywood glamour, [name]Eva[/name] is just very pretty.
[name]Carmen[/name] - I think of this as quite dated, I don’t know one under 30, but on the plus side, I think it’s way past the time of any [name]Carmen[/name] [name]Sandiego[/name] teasing.
[name]Giselle[/name] - I know a [name]Giselle[/name], and have grown up hearing the name. I never really notice the first syllable connatation. But, teenagers today are different haha.
[name]Eleanor[/name] - [name]Love[/name] [name]Love[/name] [name]Eleanor[/name].
[name]Gemma[/name] - Another name I don’t get, I think it would be cute on a child, but wouldn’t age well.
[name]Helena[/name] - [name]Love[/name] when Pronounced He-lay-nah
[name]Priscilla[/name] - I know a young [name]Priscilla[/name], she HATES her name.
[name]Holland[/name] - I have only heard this recently but I think it could be really cute!
[name]Adelaide[/name] - [name]One[/name] of my absolute favorites, has been for years, but I used to despise it. Honestly, I don’t even notice the Laid part of the name when it’s said as a whole. Anberlin - Adelaide - YouTube
[name]Laura[/name] or [name]Lauren[/name] - Like this, but it’s dated nowadays. I would still consider using [name]Laura[/name], infact, I would [name]LOVE[/name] to meet a young [name]Laura[/name].
[name]Willa[/name] - I don’t get why this name gets so much [name]Love[/name]!
[name]Jane[/name] - [name]Love[/name] [name]Jane[/name]!
[name]Audrina[/name] - I’m not familiar with this name, it’s just okay at first glance, seems possibly trendy/made-up
[name]Anna[/name] or [name]Anya[/name] or [name]Anastasia[/name] - [name]Love[/name] the first two as nn’s of the 3rd
[name]Vera[/name] - This still has strong old-lady connatations for me. Not ready for it to come back.
[name]Elizabeth[/name] - Pretty classic, can’t go wrong
[name]Tallulah[/name] - I like this in theory, but feel someone my age would feel silly saying this was their name.
[name]Simone[/name] - I know a girl that was teased as [name]Simon[/name] with this name.
[name]Colette[/name] - [name]Just[/name] okay, actually prefer [name]Colleen[/name] suprisingly
[name]Emily[/name] - Very very popular, but I like it
[name]Seraphina[/name] - I think this is a lot of name to give a child, but it’s pretty, love nn [name]Sera[/name]
[name]Cecilia[/name] - I think of the song, 100% of the time. Simon & Garfunkel - Cecilia - YouTube

The Keepers (In my opinion!)
[name]Catherine[/name]
[name]Charlotte[/name]

Thanks everyone! These are some great opinions it helped a lot :slight_smile:

These are my favourites:
[name]Eleanor[/name]
[name]Violet[/name]
[name]Phoebe[/name]
[name]Willa[/name]
[name]Helena[/name]
[name]Vera[/name]
[name]Jane[/name]
[name]Charlotte[/name]
[name]Adelaide[/name]
[name]Stella[/name]
[name]Vivienne[/name]
[name]Josephine[/name]
[name]Tallulah[/name]
[name]Catherine[/name]
[name]Cecilia[/name]

I like a lot of your names, but to be honest my favorite three are all set on your list already… [name]Lucia[/name] (amazing name!), [name]Cassia[/name] and [name]Genevieve[/name] (not as much a fan of [name]Clara[/name]). If you like those names as much as it seems you do, I’d probably end up selecting from just among them.
Some of the other names I’d consider runner-ups to my top three would be:
[name]Cecilia[/name]
[name]Seraphina[/name]
[name]Colette[/name]
[name]Josephine[/name] or [name]Josephina[/name]

[name]Love[/name]:
[name]Catherine[/name]- beautiful classic that will never go out of style. too many great connections to list
[name]Charlotte[/name]- another great name I love for being classic
[name]Victoria[/name]- gorgeous! one of my absolute favourite names. beautiful and feminine yet strong. Being really into royals and history, I love the [name]Queen[/name] [name]Victoria[/name] reference
[name]Maria[/name]- also beautiful and timeless, and since my favourite tennis player is [name]Maria[/name] Sharapova it makes me love [name]Maria[/name] even more
[name]Eleanor[/name]- grounded and steady, with historical weight (especially [name]Eleanor[/name] of [name]Aquitaine[/name])
[name]Gemma[/name]- I’ve loved this ever since I read a book set in the Victorian era with a character named [name]Gemma[/name]
[name]Helena[/name]- another favourite, like [name]Victoria[/name] it’s beautiful and feminine while still having weight, and it’s a [name]Shakespeare[/name] name (though I confess I haven’t read A Midsummer [name]Night[/name]'s [name]Dream[/name]; a friend told me about the play)
[name]Adelaide[/name]- you really have a knack for naming my favourites! I didn’t hear “laid” in it at all until you mentioned it)
[name]Anastasia[/name]- has the most “wow” factor of the three, plus [name]Anna[/name] and [name]Anya[/name] can be nicknames for [name]Anastasia[/name]. gorgeous, exotic and exciting name. It makes me think of the Romanov princess.
[name]Elizabeth[/name]- another favourite! my favourite “classic-classic” name. the name of two great queens and one of my all-time literary heroines, [name]Elizabeth[/name] [name]Bennet[/name]
[name]Cecilia[/name]- one of the few names I love for being super frilly and “feminissima”

Like:
[name]Vivienne[/name]- nice, but lacks the spark of some of your others
[name]Phoebe[/name]- growing on me. I picture a smart, sensible, no-nonsense girl
[name]Stella[/name] (prefer to [name]Estelle[/name])- sweet but seems a bit lacking
[name]Josephina[/name] (prefer to [name]Josephine[/name])- still a bit too old-lady for me
[name]Ava[/name] (prefer to [name]Eva[/name])- pretty sound but I hear it too often
[name]Carmen[/name]- nice but not very feminine to me
[name]Giselle[/name]- it’s okay, the “gis” sound isn’t a problem but I don’t find the sound very attractive
[name]Priscilla[/name]- pretty and girly but I do hear “prissy”
[name]Holland[/name]- I can see the appeal but have a hard time imagining this as a name
[name]Laura[/name] (prefer to [name]Lauren[/name], even though my name is [name]Lauren[/name])- [name]Laura[/name] is just more feminine to me
[name]Jane[/name]- yes, plain, but also classic and lovely. Of course my love of Pride and Prejudice probably affects my feelings towards this name…
[name]Vera[/name]- still a bit old-lady, but has loads of vintage charm and is the name of one of my favourite singers, Dame [name]Vera[/name] [name]Lynn[/name]
[name]Tallulah[/name]- spunky and modern
[name]Seraphina[/name]- lovely and sweet but I hear this fairly often

Dislike:
[name]Brigid[/name]- sounds very old-lady to me
[name]Violet[/name]- gets a lot of love on Nameberry, but I don’t see anything special about it
[name]Willa[/name]- sweet nickname for [name]Wilhelmina[/name] but a bit too wispy to stand on its own
[name]Audrina[/name]- didn’t know there was a celebrity baby named this, just don’t find the sound appealing
[name]Simone[/name]- I don’t like the “moan” sound
[name]Colette[/name]- bland and boring to me
[name]Emily[/name]- I really want to like this (I have a good friend named [name]Emily[/name], also it just seems so timeless- at least a couple hundred years old) but don’t really

Thanks again for all these great opinions I really love the suggestions of [name]Clara[/name]/[name]Lucia[/name] [name]Vivienne[/name] for the light of my life meaning and [name]Audra[/name]!

My first thought when I read the first line of your post was [name]Genevieve[/name] [name]Claire[/name], which I love!

I also love [name]Catherine[/name], [name]Elizabeth[/name], [name]Josephine[/name], as they are wonderful classics that suit any age.

[name]Seraphina[/name] and [name]Victoria[/name] are as well, though I think it takes the right person to wear these names well. I never used to like [name]Victoria[/name] when I was in my teens and twenties as it sounded so old-fashioned back then, though now I think it can be very elegant.

[name]Charlotte[/name] is very popular these days in the part of Australia where I live, but I can see why.

I also like [name]Stella[/name] and [name]Estelle[/name] ([name]Stella[/name] being more spunky and [name]Estelle[/name] a bit more elegant), as well as [name]Gemma[/name], which is very different from the others - but it does appeal to me.

Good luck and let us know how you get on.
