I’ve noticed that often there are the same names floating around the forum for a while and then another new group of names that sticks for a while. I’ve found a list of names I haven’t seen recently or that are new to me, so I wanted to get your thoughts on them.
Which ones do you think should be brought back to popularity? Which one is your favourite? Which one is your least favourite? What middle names would you give someone who has one of these.
This is my post for girls names. I’ve made another one for boys.

[name_f]Briar[/name_f] - personally dislike this, my accent really ruins it.
[name_f]Azalea[/name_f] - beautiful name; I’ve always found this stunning.
[name_f]Aspen[/name_f] - it’s ok, I don’t hate it but don’t love it.
[name_f]Sonia[/name_f] - NMS at all, too dated IMO.
[name_f]Esme[/name_f] - I wish this wasn’t so popular, it’s such a pretty name but the popularity has ruined it for me.
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] - cute name, ages well & [name_f]Immy[/name_f] or [name_f]Genny[/name_f] as a nn is sweet.
[name_f]Anita[/name_f] - [name_f]Adore[/name_f] this, wouldn’t use it but it’s sweet.
[name_f]Tilda[/name_f] - always felt incomplete to me, would rather see it as a NN for [name_f]Matilda[/name_f].
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f] - never been a fan of this, it’s nice but I just don’t get the appeal.
[name_f]Marian[/name_f] - too dated for me, plus reminds me of the [name_f]Disney[/name_f] film Meet the Robinsons.
[name_f]Claudine[/name_f] - prefer [name_f]Claudia[/name_f] but I don’t hate this.
[name_f]Claudia[/name_f] - very pretty & ages well.
[name_f]Tula[/name_f] - it’s sweet, very [name_f]My[/name_f] Big Fat Greek Wedding but I do really like it.
[name_f]Ziada[/name_f] - pretty, stands out without being ‘too out there’ IMO.
[name_f]Eulalia[/name_f] - it’s cute, the look of the name always feels made up to me for some reason though.
[name_f]Odelia[/name_f] - pretty, very sweet with good NN options but much prefer [name_f]Odette[/name_f].
[name_f]Jettie[/name_f] - love this as a NN but it feels incomplete as a full name IMO.

Thank you so much for sharing!
I agree with being [name_f]Marian[/name_f] being dated, but for some reason have secret hope it makes a comeback, and [name_f]Jettie[/name_f] also feels incomplete to me.
I’m glad you like [name_f]Anita[/name_f]- it’s a bit of a guilty pleasure name for me. I also think [name_f]Claudia[/name_f] is really pretty and ages well.
[name_f]My[/name_f] favourites:
[name_f]Briar[/name_f] → sharp, sleek and bright
[name_f]Aspen[/name_f] → whimsical but contemporary and cool
[name_f]Esme[/name_f] → stylish and sleek
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] → distinctive and interesting but familiar too
[name_f]Tilda[/name_f] → bright and rugged
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f] → pretty and elegant but sparkly too
[name_f]Tula[/name_f] → intriguing and distinctive in sound
[name_f]Odelia[/name_f] → charming and interesting
[name_f]Jettie[/name_f] → cute and fun
Least favourites:
[name_f]Azalea[/name_f] → odd, because I like [name_f]Zaylie[/name_f], [name_f]Zadie[/name_f] and [name_f]Zelie[/name_f], [name_f]Azaria[/name_f], [name_f]Astoria[/name_f], [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f], [name_f]Adelia[/name_f] etc, but I find this a bit sticky, a bit clunky
[name_f]Sonia[/name_f] → a bit harsh for me
Middles:
