Help me narrow down my girl names?

Just finding out I’m pregnant I’ve got lots of names I need to feed through and I need some opinions here.
Surname is going to be Enrietto (in-ree-etto)

Arden Enrietto
[name_u]Aspen[/name_u] Enrietto
[name_f]Cora[/name_f] Enrietto
[name_f]Corinne[/name_f] Enrietto
[name_u]Everly[/name_u] Enrietto
[name_u]Hadley[/name_u] Enrietto
[name_u]Harper[/name_u] Enrietto
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] Enrietto
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] Enrietto
[name_u]Lennon[/name_u] Enrietto
[name_f]Maeva[/name_f] Enrietto
[name_u]Nova[/name_u] Enrietto
[name_f]Olivia[/name_f] Enrietto
[name_u]Presley[/name_u] Enrietto
[name_u]Raleigh[/name_u] Enrietto

favorites:
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f]
[name_u]Arden[/name_u]
[name_u]Harper[/name_u]
[name_f]Cora[/name_f]
[name_u]Nova[/name_u]
[name_f]Olivia[/name_f]
[name_f]Maeva[/name_f]

Nice list! I like [name_u]Arden[/name_u], [name_u]Aspen[/name_u], [name_f]Cora[/name_f], [name_u]Everly[/name_u], [name_u]Hadley[/name_u] and [name_u]Raleigh[/name_u]. [name_m]How[/name_m] do you pronounce [name_u]Raleigh[/name_u]?
Though it is quite popular, I have a soft spot for [name_u]Everly[/name_u] due to its “ever” root and cool sound!

Congrats! :blush: [name_f]My[/name_f] favorites from your list are:

[name_f]Cora[/name_f]–Simple, sweet, strong, and has just the right amount of vintage flair.
[name_u]Everly[/name_u]–I’m a sucker for an “Ev” name, and I just think this one sounds so pretty.
[name_u]Hadley[/name_u]–Feels modern yet grounded, and pleasant to say.
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f]–Soft yet bright and spunky; I love the sounds and the nature connection.
[name_f]Olivia[/name_f]–[name_f]Lovely[/name_f] and classic, plus [name_f]Liv[/name_f]/Livvy makes an adorable nn.

Good luck!

Congratulations!! You have a great list to start with. First, I would cut the following:
[name_f]Corrine[/name_f] - I find [name_f]Corrine[/name_f] a bit dated, personally.
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] - I like [name_f]Imogen[/name_f], but it is the odd one out in this list. It’s significantly more vintage and British than your other picks.
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] - I love [name_f]Hazel[/name_f], but it’s in the top 50, so definitely more popular than many of your other choices. If popularity matters to you, I’d consider nixing it. It’s also a bit like [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] in that it strikes me as more vintage than your general taste.
[name_f]Olivia[/name_f] - She’d be lost in a sea of little [name_f]Olivia[/name_f]’s, which would be a shame considering all the other nice options you have here.
[name_u]Aspen[/name_u] - I can’t get over the “ass” syllable. I think it’s ripe for teasing.
[name_u]Harper[/name_u] - I really like [name_u]Harper[/name_u], but again, it’s top 10 and I think you have comparable names on your list that are less popular.

My favorites for you are [name_u]Arden[/name_u], [name_f]Cora[/name_f] and [name_u]Hadley[/name_u]!!

Arden - [name_u]Arden[/name_u] has the same sleek vibe of [name_u]Aspen[/name_u] without that unfortunate beginning sound. She feels both literary and stylish because of the associations with [name_m]Shakespeare[/name_m]’s [name_u]Forest[/name_u] of [name_u]Arden[/name_u] and cosmetics mogul [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_u]Arden[/name_u]. I also like the similarity to the word “ardent.” [name_u]Lennon[/name_u] ticks many of the same boxes here, but I like that [name_u]Arden[/name_u] is more unusual and feminine.

Cora - [name_f]Cora[/name_f] reminds me of vintage [name_f]Imogen[/name_f], [name_f]Hazel[/name_f], and [name_f]Maeva[/name_f] on your long list, but it’s more tailored than any of those, in line with your other picks like [name_u]Nova[/name_u] and [name_u]Arden[/name_u]. I think [name_f]Cora[/name_f] is sweet but the harsh consonant sounds also make her feel mature and grounded.

Hadley - The same sweet sound as [name_u]Everly[/name_u], [name_u]Presley[/name_u] and [name_u]Raleigh[/name_u], but with more history. And significantly less popular than the similar [name_u]Harper[/name_u]! It reminds me of [name_m]Ernest[/name_m] [name_m]Hemingway[/name_m]’s wife. This name feels particularly versatile.

All three of these strike me as the best “balance” between your different taste in names, and they all sound nice with your surname. Good luck searching!

Imogen and [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] are lovely

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there.

Here are my thoughts-

[name_u]Arden[/name_u]-I don’t love this personally, but it’s not the worst name ever. [name_m]Just[/name_m] a little harsh sounding for my taste. It also is a teeny bit tongue twister-y w/your ln.

[name_u]Aspen[/name_u]-I don’t care for this one. It’s just the ‘as*’ sound that seems not so attractive.

[name_f]Cora[/name_f]-Ooh, so pretty! Sweet, down to earth, simple, not terribly over done, grows up well. All of the good qualities!

[name_f]Corinne[/name_f]-I kind of feel like this will get misspelled & mispronounced a lot. I think that either pronunciation is nice & it’s a good solid unexpected name.

[name_u]Everly[/name_u]-This is not at all unexpected. Very trendy & not my style.

[name_u]Hadley[/name_u]-Same as above.

[name_u]Harper[/name_u]-Very very over done.

[name_f]Hazel[/name_f]-Okay, this one is fairly over done too, but I like it more because it’s vintage-y sounding. It also sounds best w/Enrietto.

[name_f]Imogen[/name_f]-I really like this. It’s classy & a little quirky. It’s super unique, but not overly complicated. And I love the nns [name_f]Imee[/name_f] & Idgie.

[name_u]Lennon[/name_u]-Well, I’m a big Beatles fan. But I’m not a big [name_m]Lenin[/name_m] fan. [name_m]Even[/name_m] with the spelling difference, I don’t find this too attractive.

[name_f]Maeva[/name_f]-That’s different. I prefer just [name_f]Maeve[/name_f], but this is kind of neat & a bit less common.

[name_u]Nova[/name_u]-Meh. Kind of trendy. I can see the appeal though. It does have a cool starry feel. I like [name_f]Nava[/name_f] a lot.

[name_f]Olivia[/name_f]-This is a beautiful name. It’s elegant, sweet, grows up well, & has the adorable nn [name_f]Livy[/name_f]. It’s way over done unfortunately.

[name_u]Presley[/name_u]-Eek, way not my style. Not very feminine & trendy.

[name_u]Raleigh[/name_u]-Same as above, but I can almost see a little cute Southern charm in this one.

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps. :slight_smile:

I like [name_u]Arden[/name_u], [name_f]Cora[/name_f], [name_f]Corinne[/name_f], [name_u]Harper[/name_u], [name_f]Hazel[/name_f], [name_f]Imogen[/name_f], and [name_f]Maeva[/name_f]!

Maybe it would help to start narrowing down the names that are similar! Here would be my preferences:
[name_u]Aspen[/name_u] over [name_u]Arden[/name_u]
[name_f]Cora[/name_f] over [name_f]Corrine[/name_f]
[name_u]Harper[/name_u] over [name_u]Hadley[/name_u]
[name_u]Nova[/name_u] over [name_f]Maeva[/name_f]
[name_u]Presley[/name_u] over [name_u]Raleigh[/name_u]

[name_f]My[/name_f] favorites from your list are [name_f]Cora[/name_f], [name_u]Harper[/name_u], [name_f]Hazel[/name_f], [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] and [name_f]Olivia[/name_f].

Arden, Aspen, Corinne, Everly, Hazel and Olivia are stunning!! Cora, Hadley, Imogen and Maeva are pretty. I would eliminate Lennon, Presley and Raleigh.

What about:
Hazel Imogen
Everly Corrine
Olivia Aspen
Maeva Arden
Cora Hadley

Enrietto is a beautiful, lyrical surname. So I think something beautiful and lyrical should be paired with it. On your list that’s only [name_f]Olivia[/name_f].
Not so bad are: [name_f]Corinne[/name_f], [name_f]Hazel[/name_f], [name_f]Imogen[/name_f], [name_u]Nova[/name_u]. [name_f]Cora[/name_f] is ok but doesn’t flow well into Enrietto.
I want to like [name_f]Maeva[/name_f], but it looks made-up.

These names are downright silly to me and really ruin your surname:
[name_u]Arden[/name_u] (an old man’s name)
[name_u]Aspen[/name_u] (a tree and ski resort)
[name_u]Everly[/name_u], [name_u]Hadley[/name_u], [name_u]Harper[/name_u], [name_u]Lennon[/name_u], [name_u]Presley[/name_u] and [name_u]Raleigh[/name_u] are all surnames and not as beautiful as Enrietto.

[name_f]My[/name_f] favorites from your list

1.) [name_u]Everly[/name_u] (I like the NN Ev and like the way it sounds with the last name)
2.) [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] (I adore the NN [name_f]Liv[/name_f])
3.) [name_f]Hazel[/name_f]
4.) [name_u]Nova[/name_u]

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] you find the perfect name and congrats :two_hearts:

My favorites are [name_f]Maeva[/name_f], [name_u]Nova[/name_u], and [name_f]Olivia[/name_f].

Lennon
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f]
[name_u]Aspen[/name_u]
are my favs

Cora, [name_u]Aspen[/name_u], [name_u]Raleigh[/name_u], [name_u]Lennon[/name_u], [name_u]Nova[/name_u], and [name_f]Corinne[/name_f] are my favs!

I would personally knock off the super popular ones like everly and [name_f]Olivia[/name_f]
