those are just my opinions, you’ve got some great names here!
[name]Coralie[/name]- Yes. Quite like it. Sounds like merrily to me.
[name]Lila[/name]- Meh.
[name]Charlotte[/name] ([name]Lottie[/name])- Beautiful. Super popular. [name]Love[/name] [name]Lottie[/name]. Makes me think of [name]Lotte[/name] Lenya, who’s just the best.
[name]Eliza[/name]- Doolittle.
[name]Tessa[/name]- Pretty and crisp, very wearable. Not as romantic as some of your others.
[name]Emmeline[/name]- Yes. I’m biased.
[name]Cecily[/name]- I love this name, though it sounds vaguely vegetable-ish to me. Not the sexiest name, but beautiful.
[name]Estelle[/name]- Sweet, gentle, yet serious.
[name]Corinna[/name]- prefer [name]Corinne[/name]
[name]Laurel[/name]- I think of the bay laurel tree, and victory. So I like it for that reason, though it feels a lot like the more common [name]Lauren[/name].
[name]Annelise[/name]- Can’t get past the first two syllables of this name.
[name]Lucia[/name] ([name]Lu[/name]-SEE-uh)- Pretty, spirited name. I prefer the more exotic Andalucia
[name]Coralie[/name] is my favorite! My DH hates it so I think that’s why I love it more! HAHA! [name]Cecily[/name] is so cute and dainty, I like it. If [name]Lila[/name] is pronounced like [name]Lee[/name]-la, then I love it too!
Top 3 from your list are:
[name]Charlotte[/name] (can’t go wrong, and [name]Lottie[/name] is super cute)
[name]Lila[/name]
[name]Tessa[/name]
Bottom 3 from the list:
[name]Cecily[/name] (I always want to say [name]Cecilia[/name], which I prefer)
[name]Annelise[/name]
[name]Laurel[/name] (I think it’s pretty, but will get [name]Laura[/name]? or [name]Lauren[/name]? all the time)
[name]Coralie[/name] - very nice. [name]Cora[/name] is sweet.
[name]Lila[/name] - nice, bit plain. Prefer [name]Lily[/name], [name]Lillian[/name], [name]Lilith[/name] etc
[name]Charlotte[/name] ([name]Lottie[/name]) - nothing at all wrong with it, but there are much more exciting names on your list
[name]Eliza[/name] - love [name]Eliza[/name]. And [name]Elizabeth[/name]
[name]Tessa[/name] - Nice.
[name]Emmeline[/name] - [name]Love[/name] [name]Emmeline[/name]. I think its sweet. [name]Emme[/name] is a gorg NN
[name]Cecily[/name] - like [name]Cecily[/name], prefer [name]Cecelia[/name].
[name]Estelle[/name] - nice. I also like [name]Stella[/name].
[name]Corinna[/name] - bit outdated [name]IMO[/name]
[name]Laurel[/name] - [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Laurel[/name]. It’s simply whimsical.
[name]Annelise[/name] - don’t rate annelise.
[name]Lucia[/name] ([name]Lu[/name]-SEE-uh) - nothing wrong with it, probably prefer [name]Lucy[/name].
My favourite is [name]Laurel[/name], closely followed by [name]Emmeline[/name]. [name]Corrina[/name] would be my least fave. There is nothing wrong with any of these names, I just like some more than others.
I love [name]Eliza[/name], [name]Tessa[/name], [name]Cecily[/name] and [name]Laurel[/name].
Not so keen on [name]Lila[/name].
Favorites: [name]Coralie[/name], [name]Lila[/name], [name]Lucia[/name]
Least favorite: [name]Estelle[/name]
[name]Hi[/name] - I love all of the names on your list! My favorites:
[name]Lila[/name]
[name]Charlotte[/name]
[name]Eliza[/name]
[name]Emmeline[/name]
[name]Corinna[/name]
[name]Laurel[/name]
[name]Annelise[/name]
You have a wonderful list!
[name]Coralie[/name] – This is so pretty and I love the nn option of [name]Cora[/name]. Ages well.
[name]Lila[/name] – I love the sound of this name! Very sweet but spunky.
[name]Charlotte[/name] ([name]Lottie[/name]) – This is one of the more popular names on your list, but if that doesn’t bother you, then it’s a good option! [name]Lottie[/name] is sweet.
[name]Eliza[/name] – Great name! Classic, elegant and spunky!
[name]Tessa[/name] – [name]Love[/name] it! I can see this fitting a tomboyish little girl and a sophisticated young woman equally well.
[name]Emmeline[/name] – I prefer [name]Adeline[/name], but this is nice also! Nice variation from the more popular [name]Emma[/name].
[name]Cecily[/name] – I don’t like this name much. I prefer [name]Cecilia[/name], maybe because I don’t like the “sissy” sound in [name]Cecily[/name].
[name]Estelle[/name] – This is really pretty. I think I prefer [name]Stella[/name] because it seems more versatile.
[name]Corinna[/name] – I haven’t heard this one before – it’s pretty! I like [name]Corinne[/name] too.
[name]Laurel[/name] – This is actually my name, and I love it! Very pretty without being overly so, familiar sound b/c of [name]Laura[/name], and nice meaning/connotations.
[name]Annelise[/name] – So beautiful! Very lovely name.
[name]Lucia[/name] ([name]Lu[/name]-SEE-uh) – This is very pretty! You may run into some pronunciation problems though. You might also like [name]Stasia[/name].

Top picks:
[name]Charlotte[/name] ([name]Lottie[/name]) - I love [name]Charlotte[/name], but prefer [name]Lola[/name] for a nickname. [name]Just[/name] not a fan of [name]Lottie[/name].
[name]Cecily[/name] - I really love this one, but I don’t know if I’d be brave enough to ever use it myself.
[name]Emmeline[/name] - Very cute - are you pronouncing it [name]Emma[/name]-lynn or [name]Emma[/name]-line? I like it either way, just curious.
[name]Estelle[/name] - This one is kind of growing on me. I love [name]Stella[/name], but don’t like it as a full first name, but [name]Estelle[/name] could be a great way to get there. Plus, [name]Estelle[/name] Getty is the best.
Middle of the road:
[name]Eliza[/name] - So much spunk
[name]Coralie[/name] - I do like this one, though I much prefer [name]Caroline[/name] which is similar. It is pretty though, and I’ve always had a thing for [name]Cora[/name].
[name]Lila[/name] - Pretty.
[name]Annelise[/name] - I like it, just not as much as others on the list.
Not a fan:
[name]Lucia[/name] ([name]Lu[/name]-SEE-uh) - I would like this if you were pronouncing it [name]Lu[/name]-chee-ah. As it is I prefer [name]Lucy[/name].
[name]Tessa[/name] - Meh.
[name]Corinna[/name] - Another meh. Doesn’t thrill me.
[name]Laurel[/name] - Ditto the above, though I do think it is an interesting alternative to [name]Lauren[/name] which feels dated to me.
[name]Coralie[/name] - I prefer [name]Coralie[/name] to [name]Cora[/name] - I really enjoy the softer ending.
[name]Lila[/name] - nice. It’s the german word for Purple. That’s all I got.
[name]Charlotte[/name] ([name]Lottie[/name]) - one of my favorites I also like [name]Chuck[/name] as a nn.
[name]Eliza[/name] - I always think of this as a nn to [name]Elizabeth[/name].
[name]Tessa[/name] - I wouldn’t think this would be my style but, surprising to me I rather enjoy it. I prefer this over [name]Tess[/name] (which I consider to be a nn for [name]Theresa[/name]).
[name]Emmeline[/name] - I like the sound not a fan of it visually.
[name]Cecily[/name] - nms.
[name]Estelle[/name] - seems to be floating around NB a lot lately. My favorite version of [name]Star[/name].
[name]Corinna[/name] - really like this.
[name]Laurel[/name] - nms. (It’s too close for [name]Lauren[/name] for my liking and I just have had too many unhappy run-ins with [name]Laurens[/name] and not enough great ones to really be able to shake the negative associations).
[name]Annelise[/name] - It’s fine, I’m fairly neutral on this one.
[name]Lucia[/name] ([name]Lu[/name]-SEE-uh) - sounds very literary to me. I like.
Wow, thanks to each one of you for your input on our list. We really appreciate it! Sometimes when you look at the same names for so long, you just need some fresh perspectives. We want to keep the name we choose a secret till baby is here, so it’s nice to have you all to bounce our ideas off of. After a little more disscussion about the names on our list, I think we would most likely use one of the following…
Coralie
Emmeline (or Emmaline) We pronounce it Emma-Line as in clothesline.
Charlotte “Lottie”
Lila
Laurel (love the sound but I’m afraid we’d get tired of people hearing Laura/Lauren)
So out of those, which one do you like best? I THINK my favorite is Coralie, and my hubby’s favorite is Emmeline. Actually, I think Coralie and Emmeline would be perfect for sisters, so if we have two girls we’ll each get to use our favorite names! Hey, maybe we’ll have twins!! Lol.
[name]Emmeline[/name] or [name]Emmaline[/name]. My full name sometimes gets mispronounced this way (clothesline) and I really like it. Feels southern, friendly yet elegant. My friend with a [name]Tennessee[/name] accent sometimes calls me [name]Emmeline[/name]-[name]Jane[/name] and that is the best. [name]Coralie[/name] has a lovely sound, but I don’t think it has the strength of [name]Emmeline[/name]/[name]Emmaline[/name]. Might be good to see what fits once the baby’s born.
