  1. [name]Isabella[/name] (nickname: [name]Bella[/name])- 7 - A lovely name but its megapopularity takes away a bit of its charm for me.
  2. [name]Amelia[/name] (nickname: [name]Mia[/name] or [name]Mimi[/name]) - 10 - Very soft, sweet and pretty name
  3. [name]Adalyn[/name] (nickname: [name]Addie[/name]) - 6 - A new invention but adding [name]Ada[/name] and [name]Lyn[/name] together. I prefer just [name]Ada[/name] or [name]Adalia[/name] myself. Very trendy.
  4. [name]Margaret[/name] (nickname: [name]Maisie[/name]) - 9 - An undiscovered gem. I also love the French [name]Marguerite[/name] nn [name]Daisy[/name].

[name]Isabella[/name] - love. :slight_smile: Probably an 8/10. I adore it and the sweet nn [name]Bella[/name] despite its popularity, but as my favorite girls’ name is [name]Isabelle[/name], [name]Isabella[/name] just seems a bit over-the-top and trendy to me compared to my lovely [name]Isabelle[/name]. This is probably my favorite on your list.

[name]Amelia[/name] - Probably a 9/10. I respect it, but I really don’t like it all that much. I like it’s classic appeal but I’ve never really been able to get behind it. I much prefer the [name]Emilia[/name] spelling, which sounds virtually the same and has a softer, sweeter appeal to me. I love [name]Mia[/name] as a nn, but for [name]Amelia[/name], I prefer [name]Amie[/name], [name]Millie[/name], or even [name]Lia[/name] to [name]Mimi[/name] (which has always felt a bit too cutesy to me).

[name]Adalyn[/name] - Probably a 6/10. It has a very trendy, made-up vibe to me. I much prefer other ways to get to the nn [name]Addie[/name] (which I adore, btw!), like [name]Adele[/name], [name]Adella[/name], [name]Ada[/name], [name]Adelaide[/name], [name]Adelia[/name], or even [name]Astrid[/name] or [name]Adriana[/name]…

[name]Margaret[/name] - 9/10. The formal [name]Margaret[/name] has always been too up-tight and formal for me (I much prefer [name]Margot[/name] and [name]Marguerite[/name] personally, or even other [name]Maggie[/name] names like [name]Magnolia[/name] and [name]Magda[/name]/[name]Magdalena[/name]), but the nn [name]Maisie[/name] is just too cute, and the classic [name]Margaret[/name] is a lovely option to fall back on.

Have you considered [name]Charlotte[/name]? It seems to combine the sweetness of the majority of the names on your list while still being refined and classic like [name]Margaret[/name].

Good luck!

  1. [name]Isabella[/name] (nickname: [name]Bella[/name]) - 7 Pretty name but brought down under the weight of its popularity.
  2. [name]Amelia[/name] (nickname: [name]Mia[/name] or [name]Mimi[/name]) - 7 Also pretty and also too popular for my tastes. I don’t care for you nn options. I prefer [name]Millie[/name].
  3. [name]Adalyn[/name] (nickname: [name]Addie[/name]) - 5 Far too trendy with it’s “lyn” ending. Have you considered a more classic name like [name]Adeline[/name], which would also get you to [name]Addie[/name]?
  4. [name]Margaret[/name] (nickname: [name]Maisie[/name]) - 8 This one is very nice. While [name]Margaret[/name] itself is a bit fussy, it’s a sturdy classic, and [name]Maisie[/name] is an adorable nn.
