My new annotated list!

Here’s my list - feel free to add your opinion!
[name]Alice[/name] - I’ve loved it for a really long time and it’s definitely my favourite.
[name]Ada[/name] - I really love this too. But if I use [name]Alice[/name] I won’t use this don’t want AA.
[name]Annabelle[/name] - A friend of mine shotgunned it as an honouree name for her mum.
[name]Cora[/name] - Its nice it has vintage charm. But i like too many ‘A’ ending names.
[name]Danica[/name] - [name]Star[/name] reference and I love the feel of it.
[name]Ida[/name] - Like it but prefer [name]Ada[/name], [name]Ida[/name] in Europe is pronounced EEE-DAH. And since we have family there, I wouldn’t like that pronunciation.
[name]Elena[/name] - Really like it spoken like [name]ELAINA[/name].
[name]Eloise[/name] - I really like it especially in reference to [name]Kay[/name] [name]Thompson[/name]'s book. Except it has a harsh ending sound.
[name]Esme[/name]/[name]May[/name] - in honour of my aunt whose birthday was in [name]May[/name]. Still deciding if I prefer [name]Esme[/name] or not. Twilight reference doesn’t bother me.
[name]Esther[/name]/[name]Estelle[/name] - [name]Love[/name] the biblical meaning and the star reference. I really like [name]Estella[/name]; but it doesn’t flow.
[name]Etta[/name]/[name]Eva[/name]/[name]Elsa[/name] - Like both, but [name]Eva[/name]'s too popular and [name]Etta[/name] sounds like theres something missing. [name]Elsa[/name] is a possibility but I’m not sure I [name]LOVE[/name] it.
[name]Giselle[/name] - I really think this is quite beautiful, although it does sound princessy.
[name]Hazel[/name] - I really like it.
[name] Helena [/name]- I have a bit of an infatuation with this name right now!
'[name]Lavender[/name] - A guilty pleasure name.
[name]Lovisa[/name] - It really speaks to my [name]German[/name] heritage.
Nightingale - As a possible alternative to my maiden name ‘[name]Gale[/name].’
[name]Pearl[/name] - To honour my great grandmother.
[name]Reyna[/name] - I really like it especially with this spelling.
[name]Rose[/name] - only as a first name!
[name]Violet[/name] - [name]Love[/name] it.
[name]Zoya[/name] - I love it as well as its reference in the book ‘[name]Zoya[/name].’

[name]Alice[/name] - My favorite on your list, but definitely cannot pair with [name]Esme[/name] due to Twilight reference, [name]IMO[/name]
[name]Ada[/name] - NMS. Reminds me of the saying 'adda boy.
[name]Annabelle[/name] - [name]Lovely[/name]! This one is on my top 10 list :slight_smile:
[name]Cora[/name] - Nice, love it as a nn to [name]Coralie[/name]
[name]Danica[/name] - Pretty but don’t like the nn [name]Dani[/name]
[name]Ida[/name] - NMS.
[name]Elena[/name] - If you prefer [name]Elaina[/name], I would stick with that spelling to avoid pronunciation issues.
[name]Eloise[/name] - [name]Love[/name] this one! Esp nn [name]Ellie[/name], so sweet and ages well [name]IMO[/name]
[name]Esme[/name]/[name]May[/name] - A fav of mine, I don’t mind the Twilight reference either, but definitely cannot pair with other Twilight names
[name]Esther[/name]/[name]Estelle[/name] - I prefer [name]Stella[/name] to [name]Estella[/name], but [name]Estelle[/name] has a very pretty ring to it, not a fan of [name]Esther[/name] though.
[name]Etta[/name]/[name]Eva[/name]/[name]Elsa[/name] - [name]Eva[/name] is popular, but if you use as a nn to [name]Evangeline[/name]/[name]Evangelina[/name] you get the [name]Eva[/name] nn and a not as popular name, as for [name]Etta[/name] and [name]Elsa[/name], I prefer [name]Eva[/name] of the three
[name]Giselle[/name] - I just see this as potential for disaster. Gis sounds just like Jizz… and Idk, maybe it’s just me, but I wouldn’t use this name just as I wouldn’t use the name [name]Richard[/name] for it’s potential school yard nn of [name]Dick[/name]. BUT that’s my paranoid side, I love “elle” names, and find my paranoia of school yard bullies for my future children a bit annoying, but I can’t help it. LOL.
[name]Hazel[/name] - I prefer [name]Jade[/name] to [name]Hazel[/name], but I do love the Z factor!
[name]Helena[/name] - NMS, but I definitely prefer [name]Helena[/name] to [name]Helen[/name]. Has a less boring effect [name]IMO[/name].
[name]Lavender[/name] - I prefer [name]Violet[/name] to [name]Lavender[/name] in both names and colors, but [name]Lavender[/name] is a sweet non popular route as opposed to all the [name]Lilies[/name] and Roses out there.
[name]Lovisa[/name] - Never heard this one before, so unsure of the pronunciation.
Nightingale - Like as a mn only.
[name]Pearl[/name] - Cute! I do like [name]Pearla[/name] as well.
[name]Reyna[/name] - I love this spelling! My [name]MIL[/name]'s maiden name was Reynosa, and her sister has a daughter named [name]Reyna[/name] in honour of the last name, and everyone compliments her for the name choice and spelling
[name]Rose[/name] - I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Rose[/name], but in the form [name]Rosalie[/name], hubby doesn’t he hates the nn [name]Rosie[/name], but I find it absolutely lovely and the popularity doesn’t bother me, even for a mn.
[name]Violet[/name] - [name]Love[/name] it!
[name]Zoya[/name] - NMS, I prefer [name]Zoe[/name]. Then again, my youngest step daughter is [name]Zoe[/name], so I’m a little biased. :slight_smile:

Great names! My suggestions to go with your list are: [name]Cordelia[/name], Zaylee, and [name]Elenora[/name]. :slight_smile:

My favourites are definitely [name]Esme[/name] and [name]Violet[/name]. I think that they’re both modern, but pretty and sweet.

[name]Alice[/name] - I never loved [name]Alice[/name], it seems boring to me
[name]Ada[/name] - So much better than [name]Alice[/name]!
[name]Annabelle[/name] - [name]Annabelle[/name] is stunning, I would have used it but we already have an [name]Arabella[/name]
[name]Cora[/name] - I prefer [name]Coralie[/name] or [name]Cordelia[/name], [name]Cora[/name] is just to abrupt
[name]Danica[/name] - I like it
[name]Ida[/name] - I like [name]Ada[/name] better but [name]Ida[/name] is nice
[name]Elena[/name] - I have never heard it pronounced another way. [name]Lovely[/name] name
[name]Eloise[/name] - I just never caught on to the [name]Eloise[/name] trend
[name]Esme[/name]/[name]May[/name] - I think this sounds so harsh, just too much for a little girl
[name]Esther[/name]/[name]Estelle[/name] - lovely, I think I prefer [name]Estelle[/name]
[name]Etta[/name]/[name]Eva[/name]/[name]Elsa[/name] - I like [name]Eva[/name] the best but [name]Etta[/name] is cute too, [name]Elsa[/name] sounds harsh to me
[name]Giselle[/name] - I like it, if you don’t mind the supermodel connection
[name]Hazel[/name] - I like it
[name]Helena[/name] -wonderful name, I considered it myself
'[name]Lavender[/name] - I don’t know that this would work as a first name
[name]Lovisa[/name] - great middle name potential
Nightingale - [name]Gale[/name] sounds better as it is
[name]Pearl[/name] - Gorgeous!
[name]Reyna[/name] - I love the name and the connection to the Virgin [name]Mary[/name]
[name]Rose[/name] - I prefer it as a middle name, it is the second middle name of my second daughter
[name]Violet[/name] - beautiful a consideration for our twins
[name]Zoya[/name] - I think the Z is making it seem very harsh and juvenile to me
