New Girl

I’ve been attracted to a few new names lately… Here they are. Tell me your thoughts!

[name_f]Magnolia[/name_f]
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f]
[name_f]Eliora[/name_f]
Evolet
[name_f]Francesca[/name_f]
[name_f]Florence[/name_f]
[name_f]Ottilie[/name_f]
[name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Dorothea[/name_f]

Ranking, ratings, comments… Whatever :slight_smile:

[name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] is my favorite from your list. [name_u]Love[/name_u] the nickname [name_f]Nola[/name_f] for it.

  1. [name_f]Dorothea[/name_f] - I always loved this name
  2. [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f] - my second favorite
  3. Evolet - so pretty and unusual
  4. [name_f]Eliora[/name_f] - lovely, but reminds me of melioration
  5. [name_f]Francesca[/name_f] - nice, but frilly even for my taste
  6. [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] - it’s sweet
  7. [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] - unusual, but heavy sounding
  8. [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] - bit dated, but lovely
  9. [name_f]Florence[/name_f] - everybody seams to love it, but I never did

I would rank them to 1 to 5 ( my favorite ) :

[name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] : 3
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] : 1
[name_f]Eliora[/name_f] : 4
Evolet : 1
[name_f]Francesca[/name_f] : 4
[name_f]Florence[/name_f] : 3
[name_f]Ottilie[/name_f]: 3
[name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] : 5
[name_f]Dorothea[/name_f] : 4

[name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] - I really like this, and I really don’t, lol. It’s an odd feeling
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] - it’s ok
[name_f]Eliora[/name_f] - I’m never sure how to pronounce this one, otherwise I like it
Evolet -I’m not sure I would know how to pronounce it
[name_f]Francesca[/name_f] - I usually prefer [name_f]Frances[/name_f] over the variations, but I do like this
[name_f]Florence[/name_f] - I like it
[name_f]Ottilie[/name_f] - not really
[name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] - it’s ok
[name_f]Dorothea[/name_f] - [name_u]Love[/name_u] this one

[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Francesca[/name_f]!

I love [name_f]Francesca[/name_f] with the nn [name_u]Frankie[/name_u] and [name_f]Matilda[/name_f]! :slight_smile:

They are lovely. My favorite is [name_f]Florence[/name_f] because of the athlete and the nurse. I also love [name_f]Matilda[/name_f], [name_f]Francesca[/name_f]. I may be the only one but I hear “Oh, feel ya” when I say [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] fast, which is slang here for “I get what you mean.” Anyway, don’t like that one very much. But all the others are lovely.

I will rate them on a scale of 1-10 so the higher the number the better. :slight_smile:

Great for first names…

[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] - 9
[name_f]Eliora[/name_f] - 6
[name_f]Francesca[/name_f] - 7
[name_f]Florence[/name_f] - 8
[name_f]Ottilie[/name_f] - 6
[name_f]Dorothea[/name_f] - 7

Better in the middle spot…

[name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] - 5
Evolet - 4
[name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] - 5

[name_u]Love[/name_u]: (I would use either of these in a heartbeat!)
[name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] - Would love to call her Phae/[name_f]Fae[/name_f].
[name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] - [name_f]Nola[/name_f] is my preferred nickname.

Like:
[name_f]Ottilie[/name_f] - I struggle to picture a 30 year old [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f] though, it’s very cute and sweet.
[name_f]Florence[/name_f] - I have a slight preference for [name_f]Flora[/name_f] though!
[name_f]Francesca[/name_f] - [name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_u]Frankie[/name_u] as a nickname ^^
[name_f]Dorothea[/name_f] - I like the others on the -like- list more than this, but [name_f]Dorothea[/name_f] has her charms :slight_smile:

Neutral:
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] - There are a lot of interesting -ilda names, [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] being the least interesting. [name_u]Mattie[/name_u]/[name_f]Maddie[/name_f] also get lost in the crowd. Have you considered just [name_f]Tilda[/name_f]? More striking with an awesome namesake ([name_f]Tilda[/name_f] Swinton!)
[name_f]Eliora[/name_f] - This one feels to me like a collection of pretty and on trend sounds. A lot of the [name_f]El[/name_f]-names are like that. [name_m]How[/name_m] do you feel about
Evolet - I like the sound, but I don’t like the origins (film, recent, not very good)
