Honest opinions on our girls list

So the hubs and I finally narrowed down our girls list which was challenging since we have such different styles- he likes common and popular names and I like nature/flower and old lady names.

In alphabetical order:
[name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_f]Audrey[/name_f]
[name_f]Cora[/name_f] - Eliminated from the list
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f]
[name_f]Iris[/name_f]
[name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_u]Vivian[/name_u]

We’re really hoping for honest opinions and impressions whether they are positive or negative. Thanks!

This may not actually be the most helpful response, because I have no critique! I love all the names on you list!! Great taste!! I think any of these names would be beautiful for a little girl!

My favorites of the list are [name_u]Vivian[/name_u], [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] and [name_f]Cora[/name_f] :slight_smile:

Honestly, these are quite lovely. I like everything on your list. There are a few I would personally skip for popularity reasons ([name_u]Vivian[/name_u] and [name_f]Violet[/name_f], although I [name_f]LOVE[/name_f] those names!), but all of them are winners.

[name_f]Alice[/name_f] and [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] and [name_f]Cora[/name_f] are my favorite. (What about [name_f]Coraline[/name_f]? Swoon.) But they’re all beautiful. Good job!! :slight_smile:

(Organized by favorite to least)

[name_f]Alice[/name_f] - A timeless classic! I would suggest this if you’re really unsure about using any others.
[name_f]Cora[/name_f] - Great name; it’s one of my favorites.
[name_u]Vivian[/name_u] - I’m not a huge fan of this spelling, but I feel like this would be a nice choice
[name_f]Iris[/name_f] - I feel like this would be a good middle name rather than a first.
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] - It sounds a tad dated, but it would be a great middle name choice.
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] - I feel this name sounds to similar to violence; I love it, but all I hear is the word violence.
[name_f]Audrey[/name_f] - I’ve never really liked this name. I don’t know why, the way it sounds maybe.

I love many of them!
[name_f]Audrey[/name_f] was my #1 girl name for years and years :slight_smile: I still like it quite a bit.
[name_f]Alice[/name_f] is great! Nothing negative to say.
I do like [name_f]Cora[/name_f]… there’s a popular breakfast chain around me named [name_f]Cora[/name_f], and I don’t know any people Coras, so that’s what I think of… upside: their breakfasts are DELISH, hahah, so it’s still a good association.
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f]- it’s nice! I don’t personally love it, but it’s nice.
[name_f]Iris[/name_f]- one of my all-time favourites, I’d definitely use it.
[name_f]Violet[/name_f]- nice, I like it, I know a handful of young Violets though, but they’re all sweet.
[name_u]Vivian[/name_u]- lovely! This was my grandmother’s name, and it’s my mn. I’m quite attached to it.

They’re all lovely! I like [name_f]Audrey[/name_f], [name_f]Cora[/name_f], and [name_f]Violet[/name_f] the best ([name_f]Violet[/name_f] the very very most!), but I like [name_f]Iris[/name_f] a lot, too. I think [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Audrey[/name_f] or [name_f]Coralie[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f] “[name_f]Cora[/name_f]” would be lovely. Or even [name_f]Cora[/name_f] [name_f]Audrey[/name_f]/[name_f]Cora[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f]. :slight_smile:

Good luck!

[name_f]Alice[/name_f] - She feels down to [name_f]Earth[/name_f] and serious, yet still a bit playful.
[name_f]Audrey[/name_f] - A very sweet sounding name.
[name_f]Cora[/name_f] - This is not one of my favs. It always sounded kind of lacking to me.
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] - Great name! My favorite on your list. Feminine with some real personality.
[name_f]Iris[/name_f]- I really don’t like her at all. The “I” at the beginning is too harsh for me.
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] - [name_f]Love[/name_f]. Timeless, pretty and purple!
[name_u]Vivian[/name_u] - This sounds dated to me.

Is the [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] spelling the one you prefer?

Thanks berries for your opinions. Keep them coming.

Shameless bump!

You have a fantastic list! I absolutely adore [name_f]Alice[/name_f], [name_f]Audrey[/name_f], [name_f]Cora[/name_f], [name_f]Hazel[/name_f], and [name_f]Violet[/name_f]. [name_f]Iris[/name_f], although very pretty, sounds a little hippie grandma to me. As for [name_u]Vivian[/name_u], I’ve never really liked it.

Your list is creepily similar to mine. So obviously I love it!

[name_f]Alice[/name_f]- I’m growing fond of this name but I don’t think [name_f]Alice[/name_f] has as much personality as some of the other names on your list.
[name_f]Audrey[/name_f]- only name you have that I don’t care for. It feels 80’s to me. :confused: sorry
[name_f]Cora[/name_f]- beautiful adorable can’t get enough if [name_f]Cora[/name_f] and as far as I know not very popular at all.
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f]- on of my top loves. I just worry that she is getting too trendy
[name_f]Iris[/name_f]- beautiful again not common yet classic
[name_f]Violet[/name_f]- she is hand In hand with hazel. Perfect yet may become trendy
[name_u]Vivian[/name_u]- Classic, timeless, beautiful nn Vivy is so adorable for a little girl and just sounds like a warm fun woman. My best friend Vivy. [name_m]Favorite[/name_m] aunt Vivy.

I can’t wait to hear what you go with! I’ll be watching!

My favorite is [name_f]Audrey[/name_f], [name_f]Violet[/name_f] or [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] (although I prefer the spelling [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] i think), but they are all nice. The only one I don’t care for is [name_f]Alice[/name_f]. I would love [name_f]Iris[/name_f] for a middle name, I think it would be pretty, depending on the first name chosen

[name_f]Alice[/name_f] - My favorite name. [name_m]Just[/name_m] girly enough, just old fashioned enough, but able to grow up!
[name_f]Iris[/name_f] - I love this name the more I hear it.
[name_f]Cora[/name_f] - #3 on the hit parade.

I like all of the others but the more I hear [name_f]Violet[/name_f], the more it slips down the list.

[name_f]Alice[/name_f] - Feminine, classic and timeless; my favourite from your list!
[name_f]Audrey[/name_f] - Also classic, but a bit less unique / quirky than [name_f]Alice[/name_f].
[name_f]Cora[/name_f] - I personally don’t like [name_f]Cora[/name_f]. In [name_f]Canada[/name_f], we have a breakfast restaurant called [name_f]Cora[/name_f]'s and I don’t know, that’s just all I think about when I hear it :stuck_out_tongue:
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] - Very very pretty. [name_f]Love[/name_f] it.
[name_f]Iris[/name_f] - I find it a bit harsh. And old, but not in a classic way like the others, more of a like an old bitter woman (sorry!)
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] - If you like flower names, [name_f]Violet[/name_f] is perfect! Sounds feminine and soft, much better than [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]IMO[/name_f].
[name_u]Vivian[/name_u] - Not a fan of [name_u]Vivian[/name_u], I prefer [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] myself.

High-five! We probably live in the same area :wink:

Haha I’m surprised that I’m not the only one! You’re right though, delicious food!

[name_f]Alice[/name_f] - love the vintage, yet familiar, feel to it
[name_f]Audrey[/name_f] - not a fave. trendy in my opinion
[name_f]Cora[/name_f] - i like this more as a nickname. maybe for cordelia? but it is a cute name
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] - love mostly because of the “The Fault in Our Stars” connection
[name_f]Iris[/name_f] - maybe as a middle name?
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] - cute! i do prefer the spelling [name_f]Violette[/name_f], but it all sounds the same :slight_smile:
[name_u]Vivian[/name_u] - love possible nn “[name_f]Viv[/name_f]” or “[name_f]Via[/name_f]”!

I love these names!! My favorites would be [name_f]Iris[/name_f], [name_f]Audrey[/name_f], [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] and [name_f]Alice[/name_f] (in that order). Beautiful!!

I like all of the names on your list except [name_f]Iris[/name_f]. I’ve never really understand the appeal, as the first thing that pops into my mind is the iris of an eye, though goddess of rainbows is a cool mythological connection!
