[name_f]Eilidh[/name_f] - I’m not usually a fan of -aylee names, but [name_f]Eilidh[/name_f] is gorgeous. I just think the ay sound intensifies a bit in my Kiwi accent. :wink:
[name_f]Rosalia[/name_f] - I prefer [name_f]Roisin[/name_f].
[name_f]Roisin[/name_f] - [name_u]Love[/name_u] it.
[name_f]Azalea[/name_f] - spunky and interesting.
[name_f]Elsa[/name_f] - Pretty, but I’m not a huge fan, due to Frozen.
[name_f]Arabella[/name_f] - I’m never been a huge fan of [name_f]Arabella[/name_f], but I am warming to it. I love the nns [name_u]Ari[/name_u] & [name_u]Ara[/name_u].

[name_f]Isobel[/name_f]- I really like [name_f]Isobel[/name_f]. It is classy, and I really like this spelling (even though my favorite is probably [name_f]Isabel[/name_f])
[name_f]Eloise[/name_f]- I’ve never really liked this name, but I don’t hate it either. It’s just eh. I’ve just never gotten the hype.
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f]- I guess it is an alright name, and I understand the hype, but I really dislike this name. [name_f]My[/name_f] brother loved the movie [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] growing up, so I watched it like 10,000 times, and so I dislike the name and anything associated with the name.
[name_f]Alice[/name_f]- I love [name_f]Alice[/name_f]. It has been one of my favorites since I started being a serious namer about 3 years ago.
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]- I love [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]. I think, like [name_f]Alice[/name_f], it is simple and classy and elegant.
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f]- I love [name_f]Amelia[/name_f]. I think she’s sweet and classy, like [name_f]Alice[/name_f] but with wider appeal.
[name_f]Elena[/name_f]- I’ve never really liked this name because my name is [name_f]Eleni[/name_f], and I’ve never been a big fan of my name, and [name_f]Elena[/name_f] is pretty similar. And I hear it a lot.
[name_f]Mirabel[/name_f]- I like [name_f]Mirabel[/name_f]. It is sweet and unexpected.
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f]- I love [name_f]Felicity[/name_f]. She’s sweet and unexpected and vintage and happy.
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]- I love [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]. I love the meaning and the look and the sound.
[name_f]Eilidh[/name_f]- I like the sound, but where I live the pronunciation would be horrible (but IDK about Australia). I like it, but I like your others better.
[name_f]Rosalia[/name_f]- Okay, so I’m not the only person that likes this name. I really like [name_f]Rosalia[/name_f], but it doesn’t seem to get any attention on NB. I like the sound, and is beautiful and unexpected and almost sexy.
[name_f]Roisin[/name_f]- I don’t really like how [name_f]Roisin[/name_f] sounds. But I do like how it looks written down.
[name_f]Azalea[/name_f]- I really like [name_f]Azalea[/name_f]. nn Zalie would be cute.
[name_f]Elsa[/name_f]- I like [name_f]Elsa[/name_f], but prefer [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] or [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f].
[name_f]Arabella[/name_f]- eh, I’m kind of sick of [name_f]Bella[/name_f] names. I guess [name_f]Arabella[/name_f] is nice though.
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]- I like [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f], but it is a bit too frilly for me. I like the nn [name_f]Evie[/name_f] (eh-vee) for it.
[name_f]Elodie[/name_f]- I like [name_f]Elodie[/name_f], it has a nice sound and fits in with the [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] trend.
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u]- [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] has been growing on me. I can see the appeal. It is sweet and cutesy.
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]- I really like this name, we named our sweet dog [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]. She’s what I think of when I see this name, so it always makes me happy.
[name_f]Sybella[/name_f]- I prefer [name_f]Sibylla[/name_f] or [name_f]Sibyl[/name_f]. [name_f]Sybella[/name_f] is too much/looks made up/trying too hard.
[name_f]Eulalia[/name_f]- I like [name_f]Eulalia[/name_f], but prefer some of your other names more. I’d be really excited to meet a [name_f]Eulalia[/name_f] though, since it is so unusual.
I hope that helped! I really liked your list.

Great list! I like:
[name_f]Isobel[/name_f]
[name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f]

[name_f]Arabella[/name_f]
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]
[name_f]Elodie[/name_f]

IsobeI- No real feelings about this name. This spelling looks nicer than others, but this feels lackluster to me.

[name_f]Eloise[/name_f] - cute

[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] - see [name_f]Isobel[/name_f]

[name_f]Alice[/name_f] - classic and pretty

[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] - I want to like it, but the LA - [name_f]NOR[/name_f] part sounds harsh to me.

[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] - I see the appeal, but it seems cutesy to me

[name_f]Elena[/name_f] - very nice

[name_f]Mirabel[/name_f] - it seems nice, but I’ve never thought about it before so I don’t have muc of an opinion

[name_f]Felicity[/name_f] - very nice and the nicknames are fun too

[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] - I don’t understand the appeal, but many people seem to like it

[name_f]Eilidh[/name_f] - It sounds nice, but it looks like it would be said like eyelid

[name_f]Rosalia[/name_f] - nice enough

[name_f]Roisin[/name_f] - so beautiful, a personal favorite

[name_f]Azalea[/name_f] - I love it. It’s so sweet yet unexpected

[name_f]Arabella[/name_f] - very frilly, I don’t care for this

[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] - a good name

[name_f]Elodie[/name_f] - cute but classy

[name_u]Ruby[/name_u] - meh

[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] - same as [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]

[name_f]Sybella[/name_f] - the best bella name different and pretty

[name_f]Eulalia[/name_f] - it sounds silly to me like a cartoon character

[name_f]Isobel[/name_f]- I’ve been hearing [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] more and more right now, so this is just a little bland to me
[name_f]Eloise[/name_f]- I will never be able to explain why, but I just simply do not like this name. No rhyme or reason, I just don’t like it
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f]- [name_u]Love[/name_u]! I love the book! Beautiful name
[name_f]Alice[/name_f]- I’ve always loved the simplicity of the name of the girl who went to Wonderland
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]- Same as [name_f]Eloise[/name_f]. For some reason, I absolutely adore [name_f]Leonor[/name_f] however!
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f]- I associate this with [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_f]Bedelia[/name_f], from the children’s books. She’s a rather dumb maid
[name_f]Elena[/name_f]- I love this! [name_f]My[/name_f] favorite pronunciation is [name_f]Ellen[/name_f]-uh, but I know it’s supposed to be like [name_f]Alayna[/name_f].
[name_f]Mirabel[/name_f]- This seems a bit over the top
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f]- I’m okay with this name. I don’t love it, but it’s a nice name to hear
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]- Beautiful!
[name_f]Eilidh[/name_f]- I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] this and it would totally be on my short list, if not for the fact that I fear the mispronunciations it will receive. I have given this name to a character though!
[name_f]Rosalia[/name_f]- I like [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f], but this seems like a bit too much
[name_f]Roisin[/name_f]- I’m a dancer, so this makes me think of rosin. Not a bad connection, but you do rub your shoes it though
[name_f]Azalea[/name_f]- [name_f]Lovely[/name_f]! I can see this becoming more popular though with [name_m]Iggy[/name_m]
[name_f]Elsa[/name_f]- Frozen made me love this!
[name_f]Arabella[/name_f]- I love this, but it’s getting so popular which is why I wouldn’t use it
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]- Pretty, but beautiful with the [name_m]French[/name_m] pronunciation
[name_f]Elodie[/name_f]- Definitely something I would like to see more of
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u]- Getting slightly overdone
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]- Well beyond getting slightly overdone. This almost breaks the line to overdone
[name_f]Sybella[/name_f]- Not sure if I’m saying this right, but if I am it’s okay.
[name_f]Eulalia[/name_f]- This makes me think of a ukulele

Thank you [name_f]Katie[/name_f], [name_f]Jasmine[/name_f], [name_f]Eleni[/name_f], uniquenamelover, sparkleninja and lovewn

Okay, being honest!

[name_f]Isobel[/name_f] - I would just use [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f], because this seems misspelled and could get mispronounced in the future.
[name_f]Eloise[/name_f] - Cute name, but not my favorite [name_f]El[/name_f] name. It seems like a combination of [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] and [name_f]Louise[/name_f].
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] - I like this name and it has lots of nicknames available!
[name_f]Alice[/name_f] - Kind of common right now here in the U.S., but it’s a nice, classic name.
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] - Also like this name, even though it’s a bit common. It’s kind of old fashioned, but it’s great sounding and longer than [name_f]Elle[/name_f] or [name_f]Ella[/name_f], which are very popular.
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] - Nice name, though the rest of my family seems to strongly dislike it for some reason! It’s not my absolute favorite, but it could be nicknamed Am, [name_f]Amy[/name_f], [name_u]Mel[/name_u], or [name_f]Leah[/name_f].
[name_f]Elena[/name_f] - Honestly, it reminds me of the character from The Vampire Diaries played by [name_f]Nina[/name_f] Dobrev, but I love her so um yeah. Great also with the [name_f]Ella[/name_f] and [name_f]Lena[/name_f]/[name_f]Lina[/name_f] trend. Very beautiful name!
[name_f]Mirabel[/name_f] - [name_m]Don[/name_m]'t really like this name, mainly because I don’t like the name [name_f]Mira[/name_f] and I would spell it bell instead.
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f] - Sounds like a twentieth century name to me, and doesn’t have many nicknames to use.
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] - Sounds kind of snobbish to me and I don’t like the spelling.
[name_f]Eilidh[/name_f] - Never heard of this one and not sure how to pronounce it.
[name_f]Rosalia[/name_f] - I like [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] or [name_f]Rosalina[/name_f] better, but you could nickname her [name_f]Rose[/name_f].
[name_f]Roisin[/name_f] - I’ve never heard it before though and am not sure how to pronounce. Popular in Australia?
[name_f]Azalea[/name_f] - Reminds me of [name_m]Iggy[/name_m] [name_f]Azalea[/name_f], the rapper. Great if you like flower names though. Could nickname be [name_f]Lea[/name_f]?
[name_f]Elsa[/name_f] - [name_f]Do[/name_f] you wanna build a snowman? But it’s still a cute name and nn [name_f]Elsie[/name_f]!
[name_f]Arabella[/name_f] - [name_m]Don[/name_m]'t really like [name_f]Bella[/name_f] names because they remind me of Twilight, but this is actually a pretty name.
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] - Nice, and you could nickname [name_f]Gen[/name_f] or [name_f]Genna[/name_f].
[name_f]Elodie[/name_f] - Reminds me of the fashion brand and the name [name_f]Melody[/name_f]. It’s a pretty name though.
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u] - Usually don’t like gem or stone names and doesn’t have much nicknames. There are worse names though.
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] - Kind of popular, but I like the sound of it and the nickname [name_f]Lottie[/name_f] or [name_u]Charlie[/name_u].
[name_f]Sybella[/name_f] - Never heard of it. Sounds like [name_f]Sybil[/name_f] and [name_f]Isabella[/name_f]. Not really my cup of tea.
[name_f]Eulalia[/name_f] - Might be mispronounced.

[name_f]Isobel[/name_f] - really like all spellings. Beautiful, classic name
[name_f]Eloise[/name_f] - very spunky and cute!!
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] - for some reason, I just can’t get in to this one.
[name_f]Alice[/name_f] - beautiful with a vintage, spunky feel
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] - again, love the vintage feel
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] - love! obviously is so popular because it’s such a beautiful name!!
[name_f]Elena[/name_f] - really like
[name_f]Mirabel[/name_f] - prefer [name_f]Mirabelle[/name_f].
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f] - love this virtue name!!
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] - this is another one I just can’t get into.
[name_f]Eilidh[/name_f] - [name_u]Love[/name_u]!!!
[name_f]Rosalia[/name_f] - like a lot. I might prefer [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] just a smidge.
[name_f]Roisin[/name_f] - not a fan
[name_f]Azalea[/name_f] - love the sass and pure girliness!
[name_f]Elsa[/name_f] - also totally love!!
[name_f]Arabella[/name_f] - one of my favorites!! It’s in my top 10.
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] - also really like
[name_f]Elodie[/name_f] - love most “[name_f]El[/name_f]” names, this one is no exception!!!
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u] - just can’t quite get into this one. I want to like it…
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] - [name_u]LOVE[/name_u]!! It’s in my top 5.
[name_f]Sybella[/name_f] - I can see the appeal here, but its NMS
[name_f]Eulalia[/name_f] - I’m starting to dig this one.

Thank you
@rie [name_f]Isobel[/name_f] is my grandmothers name and she has been an important part of my life therefore that is my favourite spelling.

[name_u]Ruby[/name_u] isn’t too popular in the states. It is wonderful.

I think you’ve got a lovely list here, but, if I had to look at cutting, say two (make it an even twenty), I’d suggest…

[name_f]Eilidh[/name_f]/[name_f]Roisin[/name_f] – these would never, ever be pronounced correctly here in Australia which may or may not be of concern to you. They do spice up your list though, but I think they would both make for nice middles rather than firsts.

I was going to suggest cutting [name_f]Sybella[/name_f] as until now I’ve found it extremely heavy and dated, however, when thinking on it, you’ve got the very popular -bella thing and the modern feeling Y going on which might just have it working well here in [name_m]Oz[/name_m].

@Jakki I live in Western Australia where it is a top 5 name

@sunniva I do worry about the pronunciation of those two but I may be Scottish enough to pull them off (I’m about 60% Scottish).

[name_f]Nadia[/name_f]
[name_f]Isaura[/name_f]

[name_f]Isobel[/name_f] - Very nice.
[name_f]Eloise[/name_f] - Such a cute name. I love [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] as a nickname for this too.
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] - This is a guilty pleasure name of mine, I’m a huge fan.
[name_f]Alice[/name_f] - Prime for a comeback! [name_u]Love[/name_u] it.
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] - Nice name, but I’m a bit over [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] and [name_f]Nora[/name_f]. I think you have better names on your list, so this one could be cut.
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] - Very cute.
[name_f]Elena[/name_f] - Not my style.
[name_f]Mirabel[/name_f] - I love [name_f]Mira[/name_f] on its own, I don’t necessarily think you need the full [name_f]Mirabel[/name_f].
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f] - Reminds me of the American Girl dolls in a great way. Like it!
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] - Again, not my style.
[name_f]Eilidh[/name_f] - I’m not entirely sure how to pronounce this.
[name_f]Rosalia[/name_f] - It looks pretty, but how would you pronounce it? [name_f]Rose[/name_f]-uh-[name_u]LEE[/name_u]-uh? [name_f]Ro[/name_f]-[name_u]SAL[/name_u]-ee-uh?
[name_f]Roisin[/name_f] - I’m a fan.
[name_f]Azalea[/name_f] - Reminds me of the rapper [name_m]Iggy[/name_m] [name_f]Azalea[/name_f], so I can’t say that I’m a fan.
[name_f]Elsa[/name_f] - Simple and sweet.
[name_f]Arabella[/name_f] - Very pretty.
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] - Not my style.
[name_f]Elodie[/name_f] - I like it. Nice combination of [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] and [name_f]Melody[/name_f].
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u] - I’m indifferent on this one.
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] - So classic, I like it despite the massive jump in popularity.
[name_f]Sybella[/name_f] - Would you pronounce this SIGH-bella or SIH-bella?
[name_f]Eulalia[/name_f] - Too many vowels for me.

If you’re looking for names to cut, I would get rid of [name_f]Elena[/name_f], [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f], [name_f]Eilidh[/name_f], [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f], and [name_f]Azalea[/name_f].

You have so many awesome names on here, I can see why you have trouble editing!

Thank you colls, halfkoreangirl and [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]
