Honest opinions needed on my girls list

Since I like to refine my list every six months it is time to ask for some more brutally honest opinions on my girls list which I have been adding too for months but I think I may need to cut it so berries don’t hold back. I live in Australia and popularity doesn’t bother me :slight_smile:
List is:
[name_f]Isobel[/name_f]
[name_f]Eloise[/name_f]
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f]
[name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Elena[/name_f]
[name_f]Mirabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f]
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]
[name_f]Eilidh[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosalia[/name_f]
[name_f]Roisin[/name_f]
[name_f]Azalea[/name_f]
[name_f]Elsa[/name_f]
[name_f]Arabella[/name_f]
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]
[name_f]Elodie[/name_f]
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u]
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]
[name_f]Sybella[/name_f]
[name_f]Eulalia[/name_f]

Any suggestions are welcome

[name_f]Isobel[/name_f] - [name_u]Love[/name_u] it. [name_f]My[/name_f] favorite “classic” name by far, and the O spelling makes it feel grounded, solemn, and sophisticated.
[name_f]Eloise[/name_f] - Nice in a “berry favorites” way.
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] - I think it’s illegal to have been born in the 90s and not love this name. I also adore [name_f]Mathilde[/name_f].
[name_f]Alice[/name_f] - So excellent. [name_f]Glad[/name_f] it’s making a comeback.
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] - NMS, but I don’t dislike it. Also happens to be my best friend’s name.
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] - Totally deserves its popularity. It’s also one of my early name loves (I liked it before it was cool, I swear.)
[name_f]Elena[/name_f] - Very worldly and versatile.
[name_f]Mirabel[/name_f] - [name_u]Love[/name_u] this one, too! I met a [name_f]Mirabelle[/name_f] in [name_f]France[/name_f] and was very excited about it.
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f] - One of the only virtue names I genuinely like. I love its Colonial/Victorian image and the wealth of nn options ([name_f]Flick[/name_f]! [name_u]Fee[/name_u]! Fliss! [name_f]Cricket[/name_f]! the possibilities are almost endless.)
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] - Seriously, is there a name on your list I don’t like? [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] is quintessentially lovable, [name_f]IMO[/name_f].
[name_f]Eilidh[/name_f] - Definitely one of the more adventurous names on your list. I really like it, and it tends to sound great in most combos.
[name_f]Rosalia[/name_f] - On the frilly side, but much more palatable than [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] in my opinion.
[name_f]Roisin[/name_f] - Neutral about this one.
[name_f]Azalea[/name_f] - [name_u]Love[/name_u] it. So much sass and femininity. I’m such a sucker for Z’s.
[name_f]Elsa[/name_f] - I actually like this one less in the wake of the Frozen craze. I still don’t dislike it, though.
[name_f]Arabella[/name_f] - NMS, but I see the appeal and do like seeing it used.
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] - Ditto [name_f]Eloise[/name_f].
[name_f]Elodie[/name_f] - [name_f]My[/name_f] favorite [name_f]El[/name_f]- name. Another of my early name loves; I still find it really endearing and spunky.
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u] - NMS. One of those names I wish I liked, but just can’t.
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] - Ditto [name_u]Ruby[/name_u].
[name_f]Sybella[/name_f] - [name_u]Love[/name_u] it. It’s in my own top 10–by far the coolest -bella name out there, and the meaning is awesome.
[name_f]Eulalia[/name_f] - Ditto [name_f]Arabella[/name_f].

[name_f]Isobel[/name_f] - [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] this spelling of this name.
[name_f]Eloise[/name_f] - Reminds me of [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] At The Plaza. A very pretty lady-like name.
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] - I love this name. Simple yet different.
[name_f]Eilidh[/name_f] - Definitely unique. Not sure how it’s pronounced but I love it nonetheless :wink: lol
[name_f]Azalea[/name_f] - Very pretty. [name_f]Amethyst[/name_f] is also a lovely name.
[name_f]Arabella[/name_f] - I love that this name can potentially have two nicknames. It’s a very feminine sounding and soft name.
[name_f]Elodie[/name_f] - One of my all time favorite names. [name_f]My[/name_f] sister unfortunately has the beautiful name “[name_f]Melody[/name_f]” therefore I’ll never be able to name a daughter of mine [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] because of the similarity. :frowning:
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u] - Classic sounding and elegant.
[name_f]Sybella[/name_f] - No idea if i’m pronouncing this one correctly, but I love it! [name_u]Unique[/name_u] and out there.
[name_f]Eulalia[/name_f] - Same as with [name_f]Sybella[/name_f] as far as pronunciation goes. Also unique and out there as well.

O.k. let’s see
[name_f]Isobel[/name_f]-it’s fine but it’s never been my favorite name
[name_f]Eloise[/name_f]-I consider a bit of a one person name but anyways it’s not one of my favorites
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f]-it’s been growing on me lately but I still think of the movie with the same name
[name_f]Alice[/name_f]- it’s o.k. but not one of my favorites
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]-I like it but I prefer the [name_f]Elinor[/name_f] spelling
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f]-like [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f], I’ve started liking it recently, but I prefer the [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] spelling
[name_f]Elena[/name_f]-I think it’s nice but I like [name_f]Helena[/name_f] a little more
[name_f]Mirabel[/name_f]-it’s not bad but I don’t particularly like it that much
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f]-I’ve started liking it, it’s pretty and sweet but also elegant sounding, like [name_f]Elinor[/name_f] and [name_f]Emilia[/name_f]
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]-it’s o.k. but I wouldn’t say that I really like it
[name_f]Eilidh[/name_f]-I’m not how to pronounce this name, it looks interesting though
[name_f]Rosalia[/name_f]-I like it, it’s pretty
[name_f]Roisin[/name_f]-it’s interesting but not a name that I particularly like
[name_f]Azalea[/name_f]-I’ve started liking it, it’s nice
[name_f]Elsa[/name_f]-ever since Frozen I’ve started liking it, it’s elegant and simple
[name_f]Arabella[/name_f]-I’m not sure why but I’ve never really liked this name, it’s not ugly but definitely not my style
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]-I like it, it’s pretty, sweet, has a nice [name_m]French[/name_m] feel, I’ve always liked it
[name_f]Elodie[/name_f]-it’s o.k. but not a name that has ever really caught my attention
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u]-it’s started liking it ever since I started watching Once Upon a Time, it’s pretty
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]-it’s nice, I’ve always thought so, but I prefer [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f]
[name_f]Sybella[/name_f]-I’m not too well acquainted with this name, not even completely sure how to pronounce it but it looks interesting
[name_f]Eulalia[/name_f]-it’s interesting but maybe it’s not a sound that I love, it’s not really my style
I like your list though, it has that classic, old fashioned feel to it. I at least like or am o.k. with most of them and several of them would make nice name combinations.
:slight_smile:

Thanks [name_f]Gwen[/name_f], [name_u]Carmen[/name_u] and Snowprince

bumping up

Names I would get rid of, and why:

[name_f]Isobel[/name_f] - It’s just way too common, I know that doesn’t bother you, but every time I hear of another [name_f]Isobel[/name_f]/[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f]/[name_f]Isabella[/name_f] I just role my eyes at the lack of imagination, sorry!
[name_f]Elena[/name_f] - You already have [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] on your list which I feel is a much classier version of [name_f]Elena[/name_f].
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]- This name is just OK. I feel you have so many beautiful names on your list that you could probably afford to remove this one
[name_f]Roisin[/name_f]- [name_m]Just[/name_m] personally not a fan
[name_f]Azalea[/name_f]- This doesn’t have a nice sound, or look, to it at all
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u] - Too popular [name_f]IMO[/name_f], and not very classic- I think it would date a child.

[name_f]Isobel[/name_f] - love the name, but this isn’t my favourite spelling.
[name_f]Eloise[/name_f] - nms.
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] - really like this.
[name_f]Alice[/name_f] - love.
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] - elegant as always.
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] - pretty but I know way too many Amelias. Since it doesn’t bother you I say go for it.
[name_f]Elena[/name_f] - one of my favourites.
[name_f]Mirabel[/name_f] - pretty.
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f] - love this.
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] - super adorable.
[name_f]Eilidh[/name_f] - I actually like this name, but sometimes I see eye lid there. (I know I’m weird).
[name_f]Rosalia[/name_f] - I prefer [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f].
[name_f]Roisin[/name_f] - nice, but somehow always reminds me to raisins.
[name_f]Azalea[/name_f] - pretty, pretty, pretty.
[name_f]Elsa[/name_f] - I always have a soft spot for [name_f]Elsa[/name_f], even before frozen.
[name_f]Arabella[/name_f] - pretty, but I prefer other [name_f]Bella[/name_f] names.
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] - l love this name.
[name_f]Elodie[/name_f] - nms. I prefer [name_f]Melody[/name_f].
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u] - nice.
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] - love it.
[name_f]Sybella[/name_f] - dislike. I never care about [name_f]Sybil[/name_f]. [name_f]Sybella[/name_f] is just another [name_f]Bella[/name_f] name, which has less appeal anyway. (you said brutally honest, right?)
[name_f]Eulalia[/name_f] - I always like this but sometimes I’m afraid it’s too… cutesy? Highly depends on the full name, I think.

@Abca [name_f]Isobel[/name_f] is actually my grandmothers name so it’s staying

anyone else?

In that case it would make a lovely middle name, I’m just not a fan- Especially as there will be several others in her class!

[name_f]Isobel[/name_f] - I’m not a huge fan of this name. I much prefer [name_f]Isolde[/name_f], although this spelling does take it above the [name_f]Isabel[/name_f]/[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] spelling.
[name_f]Eloise[/name_f] - One of my top favorites for a little girl. It’s has such a great old lady feel reminiscent of [name_f]Agnes[/name_f] but with a more modern feel.
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] - I really like this name but for some reason this spelling feels off to me. I prefer [name_f]Mathilda[/name_f]. (Apparently the H is really important, LOL)
[name_f]Alice[/name_f] - Again another one of my top names. Again old lady history with modern appeal.
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] - This is another name I really like but my spelling preference is [name_f]Elanor[/name_f].
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] - I like it but not my favorite. I much prefer [name_f]Emelia[/name_f] or [name_f]Amalia[/name_f]
[name_f]Elena[/name_f] - I can only think of a show in the US called Vampire Diaries it’s not a horrible connection but still taints the name for me.
[name_f]Mirabel[/name_f] - I can’t really get behind this and the pronunciation it seems to stick to my tongue.
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f] - I don’t like it.
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] - Not a fan. It’s along the same lines of [name_f]Mirabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Eilidh[/name_f] - If my pronunciation is correct then I like it. [name_f]My[/name_f] one concern would be that because it’s Scottish people might not know how to pronounce it and if you use it on your child she will forever have to spell it over and over and explain that the Scottish language doesn’t have the same letter as the English language.
[name_f]Rosalia[/name_f] - I prefer [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f].
[name_f]Roisin[/name_f] - Same advice as [name_f]Eilidh[/name_f] an maybe considered [name_f]Rosaleen[/name_f].
[name_f]Azalea[/name_f] - Nice flower name and definitely on the quirky side. Have you considered Zinnnia?
[name_f]Elsa[/name_f] - Good name. Maybe [name_f]Elisa[/name_f], [name_f]Elise[/name_f] or [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f] instead?
[name_f]Arabella[/name_f] - Super frilly and girly. [name_f]Amabel[/name_f] instead?
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] - [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] IT!!! This is on our short list. I love the NN possibilities.
[name_f]Elodie[/name_f] - Really close to [name_f]Eloise[/name_f]. Have you considered Elowyn?
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u] -Great short name. Have you looked at [name_f]Opal[/name_f], [name_f]Pearl[/name_f], [name_f]Olive[/name_f], [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] or [name_f]Rose[/name_f]?
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] - It’s alright.
[name_f]Sybella[/name_f] - Ehh. Not my taste.
[name_f]Eulalia[/name_f] - It sounds to much like Ukulele. A small guitar like instrument for my taste.

love - [name_f]Isobel[/name_f] (and [name_f]Isabel[/name_f]), [name_f]Eloise[/name_f], [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] (prefer [name_f]Nora[/name_f]), [name_f]Amelia[/name_f], [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]

like - [name_f]Alice[/name_f] (has been growing on me), [name_f]Eilidh[/name_f], [name_f]Elodie[/name_f]

neutral - [name_f]Matilda[/name_f], [name_f]Elena[/name_f], [name_f]Mirabel[/name_f], [name_f]Felicity[/name_f], [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f], [name_f]Rosalia[/name_f] (love [name_f]Rose[/name_f] and [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f]), [name_f]Roisin[/name_f], [name_f]Azalea[/name_f], [name_f]Elsa[/name_f], [name_f]Arabella[/name_f], [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f], [name_u]Ruby[/name_u], [name_f]Sybella[/name_f], [name_f]Eulalia[/name_f]

dislike -

[name_f]Isobel[/name_f] - [name_u]Love[/name_u]. my favourite version of [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f]. The ‘o’ seems much more down-to-earth and nice
[name_f]Eloise[/name_f] - I really like it. The only thing stopping me from loving it is personal associations
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] - I like it but I know a really (for want of a stronger word) not-nice person called [name_f]Matilda[/name_f]
[name_f]Alice[/name_f] - yeah, I like it, but not heaps.
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] - love it. It’s so classic/timeless and beautiful
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] - I love this name no matter how popular it is
[name_f]Elena[/name_f] - same as [name_f]Alice[/name_f]. I like it but not heaps
[name_f]Mirabel[/name_f] - a bit frilly but it’s starting to grow on me
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f] - I love [name_f]Felicity[/name_f]. It has a great meaning and nn Flicka/Fliss is adorable
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] - [name_u]Love[/name_u]. It just sounds gorgeous when you say it
[name_f]Eilidh[/name_f] - same as [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f].
[name_f]Rosalia[/name_f] - I like it, but I prefer [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f]
[name_f]Roisin[/name_f] - really like it. Same as [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] I love the sound of it
[name_f]Azalea[/name_f] - it’s nice but I always think of [name_m]Iggy[/name_m] [name_f]Azalea[/name_f]
[name_f]Elsa[/name_f] - I love it but it’s too Frozen right now
[name_f]Arabella[/name_f] - it’s frilly but I still love it
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] - I know a really awesome [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]. I love but I’m sad I can’t use it.
[name_f]Elodie[/name_f] - [name_u]Love[/name_u]! It looks and sounds so beautiful
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u] - I’m meh on this one
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] - really like. It’s just so popular in my area
[name_f]Sybella[/name_f] - really like it. [name_f]IMO[/name_f] it’s the best version of [name_f]Sybil[/name_f]
[name_f]Eulalia[/name_f] - same as [name_f]Arabella[/name_f]. frilly but I love it :slight_smile:

Alrighty, honest thoughts.

The El-’s:
Eloise - Fun but I think I prefer Elodie and I probably wouldn’t have both on a list.
Eleanor - I really prefer Eleonora (because she’s ridiculous and OTT and just always makes me giggle and smile because in all seriousness I can’t see an Eleonora taking herself to seriously). Eleanor however is very pretty and sophisticated.
Elena - Pretty but of your El-’s the least exciting. I think you have better.
Elodie - Probably my favorite of your El- names.
Elsa - I’ve always liked Elsa, she sounds so German yet really soft. I know you don’t care about popularity but if you were to use her right now people would think you were following a Disney trend. I think that would bother me a bit, that said I do have Merida on my list and it would be because of the Disney character so…take that comment with a grain of salt.

The Bell’s:
Isobel - I guess it’s because this is one letter off of my cousin’s name and it is so popular at the moment, but while pretty I do find it a bit under-whelming. But in a couple of years I might have changed my mind on that again…
Mirabel - Strongly prefer her over Isobel at the moment. Love the fruit reference, but still not in love.
Arabella - NMS at all. Maybe because there was Arabella Radio where I grew up and it just always felt like it was a corporate name on every thing - not just radio. I think you have better -bella’s. Can I suggest Araminta as an alternative? (Araminta was Harriet Tubman’s birth name).
Sybella - She is by far the most whimsical of your -bellas. I definitely see her as huge dragonfly, whimsically fluttering about, shimmering in blues, greens and purples.

and the not so well’s:
… alright I don’t actually mean that, but it rhymed so prettily. These I’m fairly neutral (FN) on of think you have better. (TYHB)
Rosalia - TYHB
Roisin - TYHB
Charlotte - FN
Ruby - FN/ TYHB
Eulalia - FN - this is one of those name I want to love but odd to say and alway seems to want to remind me of something explicit without actually doing so.

(PS: looking at this section I just noticed I might just not be huge on R names)

+ Everyone else:
Matilda - I know you said you don’t care about popularity but what I love about this name is that she is sooo well known and recognized, yet I’ve never meet one in RL. (Sure she’s all over the telly, books and people always know who they are thinking about but… I’ve never actually meet one.) I think she’s a fun alternative to Madeline.
Alice - I really like Alice, especially as a first name. I think such simple beauties shine especially bright when in first place. I would never consider this as a mn as it then starts to feel a bit like a filler to me. (“Oh we need a mn but have no good ideas… ah yes let’s put good old Alice in the middle, she’s pretty and really unoffensive.”)
Amelia - I really like Amelia and think of the Amelia Bedelia books and then Amelia Earhart. I personally prefer Emilia because it helps the sound of the name remain more consistent across the languages we speak at home but really either way it’s a good name.
Felicity - I love the meaning of Felicity and especially that so many people don’t see it as a word name anymore. Probably because we rarely use the word felicity. (unless you speak spanish).
Phoebe - Love Pheobe. I do however very strongly think of Friends over anything else. It was on my list for a very long time until college friends used it for their second daughter.
Eilidh - I really love this - however think you’ll have to consider how people in Australia are bound to pronounce it. Some people get really bugged when names are consistently mispronounced, if you aren’t one of them then I think it’s a great addition to you list.
Azalea - fun, quirky, however nms.
Genevieve - see Isobel.

[name_f]Isobel[/name_f] - I like [name_f]Isobel[/name_f], I prefer [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] or [name_f]Isabel[/name_f] in terms of spelling but the sound is beautiful
[name_f]Eloise[/name_f] - on of my favourites, it does remind me an awful lot of [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] at the plaza but for me that just adds quirkiness to the name
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] - I am 100% biased here as this is the name of my little sister (spelled Mathilda) and it fits her perfectly. She’s cheeky, headstrong, funny, a little grumpy but mostly sweet.
[name_f]Alice[/name_f] - another favourite of mine
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] - as above but I prefer [name_f]Leonor[/name_f] and therefore don’t have [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] on my list
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] - very beautiful but [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] and [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] share too many share sound to both be on my list
[name_f]Elena[/name_f] - I like it depending on the pronunciation
[name_f]Mirabel[/name_f] - I prefer [name_f]Mirabelle[/name_f] but like the name either way
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f] - not my cup of tea
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] - sweet
[name_f]Eilidh[/name_f] - would lead to pronunciation difficulties
[name_f]Rosalia[/name_f] - prefer [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f]
[name_f]Roisin[/name_f] - same as with eilidh
[name_f]Azalea[/name_f] - nice
[name_f]Elsa[/name_f] - lovely
[name_f]Arabella[/name_f] - beautiful; another favourite
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] - great
[name_f]Elodie[/name_f] - prefer [name_f]Eloise[/name_f]
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u] - cute
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] - I like it but don’t love the English pronunciation
[name_f]Sybella[/name_f] - not my style and might lead to confusion with this spelling
[name_f]Eulalia[/name_f] - a name crush of mine but I’m not a fan of the English pronunciation

Great list, many of these names are on my list as well! Here’s what I would keep:

[name_f]Isobel[/name_f]
[name_f]Eloise[/name_f]
[name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Elena[/name_f]
[name_f]Mirabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Arabella[/name_f]
[name_f]Elodie[/name_f]

[name_f]Isobel[/name_f] - the best spelling, by far. Pretty, sophiscated. But I AM bored of hearing it
[name_f]Eloise[/name_f] - Delightful, I prefer [name_f]Heloise[/name_f]
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] - Very cute, I am not keen on the natural nn’s of [name_u]Mattie[/name_u], [name_f]Tilly[/name_f] or [name_f]Tilda[/name_f]
[name_f]Alice[/name_f] - The epitome to me of a “can’t go wrong” name
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] - Grown up, intelligent, strong, a great name - particularly with [name_f]Nora[/name_f] for short
[name_f]Elena[/name_f] - It’s nice, but I find it a tiny bit blah
[name_f]Mirabel[/name_f] - Be still my beating heart - an out and out stunner of a name
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f] - Actually not one I’m keen on although in theory I should be
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] - adorable
[name_f]Eilidh[/name_f] - I know an [name_f]Eilidh[/name_f], it’s cute but I’m not crazy on the short vowelly (?!) names - it maybe lacks substance?
[name_f]Rosalia[/name_f] - Nothing wrong with this but it’s not awesome
[name_f]Roisin[/name_f] - I don’t like the harsh sound of this
[name_f]Azalea[/name_f] - delightful, fresh and pretty
[name_f]Elsa[/name_f] - Such a sweet name, needs a little extra (that’s just my style)
[name_f]Arabella[/name_f] - [name_f]Lovely[/name_f], very “pony club” over here but I like it a lot
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] - Yes it’s nice but I don’t know if it warrants all the hoo-ha
[name_f]Elodie[/name_f] - Very pretty name
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u] - I used to love it, now it feels tired, it needs a little break!
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] - a classic, but not one I love
[name_f]Sybella[/name_f] - ooh la la, [name_f]Sybella[/name_f] you are divine!
[name_f]Eulalia[/name_f] - Too many vowels and I just hear “Ukelele”!!

[name_f]Isobel[/name_f]- I am not a fan of any Is- -bel names, just sound off to me
[name_f]Eloise[/name_f]- sweet and vintage
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f]- cute but I don’t think it’s a name every one can pull off
[name_f]Alice[/name_f]- a lovely classic
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]- another lovely classic
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f]- its ok but seems a bit stuffy to me
[name_f]Elena[/name_f]- gorgeous

[name_f]Isobel[/name_f] - definitely my favorite spelling, I really like it.
[name_f]Eloise[/name_f] - I like it, but I wouldn’t use it.
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] - Same as [name_f]Eloise[/name_f].
[name_f]Alice[/name_f] - [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] it. One of my favorite names.
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] - I like it. Not crazy about it, but it’s elegant and has great nickname potential.
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] - I’m not sure how I feel about it. It’s a pretty name.
[name_f]Elena[/name_f] - Same as [name_f]Amelia[/name_f].
[name_f]Mirabel[/name_f] - It’s so pretty, but I’d never be daring enough to use it.
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f] - Along the same lines as [name_f]Mirabel[/name_f], but I wouldn’t use it for different reasons.
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] - I find it’s a pretty name but lately it feels like it’s missing something.
[name_f]Eilidh[/name_f] - I’m sorry, but what? I look at this name and have no idea how to go about pronouncing it, and I doubt if I heard it I’d be able to spell it (I’m pretty good with spelling if I may say so myself). I can’t really say if I like it or dislike it because I just have no idea what it is…
[name_f]Rosalia[/name_f] - I like this a lot! It feels like a fresher version of [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f], and has good nickname potential.
[name_f]Roisin[/name_f] - I look at this and see rosin. Not a good association.
[name_f]Azalea[/name_f] - Pretty, I’m not crazy about it though.
[name_f]Elsa[/name_f] - I really really like it, but I wouldn’t be able to use it because of the Frozen association.
[name_f]Arabella[/name_f] - It’s a pretty name, it’s just not my style.
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] - I love [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]! I don’t know which pronunciation you like, but both (at least, I only know of two) are gorgeous!
[name_f]Elodie[/name_f] - Same as [name_f]Alice[/name_f].
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u] - I have bad associations with this name, but I liked it before…
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] - I like it, I just feel like it’s missing something.
[name_f]Sybella[/name_f] - I’ve never heard of this, but wow, it’s so pretty!
[name_f]Eulalia[/name_f] - Like [name_f]Eilidh[/name_f], I don’t know how to pronounce it. However, it doesn’t seem as scary or hard to approach to me.

@[name_f]Kat[/name_f] I only like [name_f]Azalea[/name_f] because of [name_m]Iggy[/name_m] [name_f]Azalea[/name_f] :slight_smile:

Thank you everyone else
