Opinions on these girl names

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] Berries! Please give your honest opinions on each of these girls names. Also, which is your favourite and least favourite? Suggestions for other names are also appreciated :slight_smile:

[name_f]Claudia[/name_f]
[name_f]Thea[/name_f]
[name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f]
[name_f]Tessa[/name_f]
[name_f]Victoria[/name_f]
[name_f]Natalie[/name_f]
[name_f]Adaya[/name_f]
[name_f]Claire[/name_f]

I really love [name_f]Thea[/name_f], the rest are nice but not on the same level for me as [name_f]Thea[/name_f].

I like [name_f]Claudia[/name_f] and [name_f]Natalie[/name_f]. The rest are just okay to me except [name_f]Adaya[/name_f], which is not my style at all.

I like [name_f]Thea[/name_f] when it’s short for [name_f]Theadora[/name_f]. I prefer [name_f]Clara[/name_f] to [name_f]Claire[/name_f].
I love [name_f]Claudia[/name_f] the best otherwise!
[name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f] and [name_f]Victoria[/name_f] are beautiful as middle names, because then they can’t be shortened to [name_u]Gabi[/name_u] or [name_f]Vicky[/name_f].

Only one I like is [name_f]Victoria[/name_f]!

My favorite is [name_f]Claudia[/name_f]. I also like [name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f] and [name_f]Natalie[/name_f] but I know a few of them so they are less exciting. [name_f]Claire[/name_f] is also nice. [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] and [name_f]Thea[/name_f] are not my favorite in terms of sound, but nothing wrong with them. [name_f]Victoria[/name_f] is a little too fancy and I don’t like the nickname options. Not familiar with [name_f]Adaya[/name_f] so I wouldn’t choose it.

[name_f]Victoria[/name_f] - my fav. Beautiful, elegant and regal. Commonly used, but not like super popular.
[name_f]Natalie[/name_f] - sweet, sweet [name_f]Natalie[/name_f]. Kind, cheerful and pretty.
[name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f] - there’s something strong yet sweet about [name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f]. I like how it is angelic and just pretty. Many berries don’t like the nn [name_u]Gabby[/name_u], I personally prefer [name_f]Elle[/name_f], but don’t mind [name_u]Gabby[/name_u].
[name_f]Claudia[/name_f] - beautiful and strong. [name_u]Love[/name_u] the potential nn [name_f]Cloudy[/name_f]. The only thing I don’t like about it is its meaning.
[name_f]Tessa[/name_f] - [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] is sweet and spunky at the same time. I like it.
[name_f]Thea[/name_f] & [name_f]Claire[/name_f] - can’t decide which one I prefer. [name_f]Claire[/name_f]'s sweet but it’ll rank higher as [name_f]Clara[/name_f] (my fav variant). [name_f]Thea[/name_f] is lovely, but I have two pronunciations for it (only because I am not a native english speaker though).
[name_f]Adaya[/name_f] - least fav.

[name_f]Victoria[/name_f] or [name_f]Claudia[/name_f] are my faves.

[name_f]Claudia[/name_f] - I don’t love it, but it has recently moved up in my opinions because I met a really lovely woman named [name_f]Claudia[/name_f]. She used the nn [name_m]Claud[/name_m]. I’m not a massive fan of it still, but it’s ok.
[name_f]Thea[/name_f] - I think it’s absolutely darling.
[name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f] - It’s ok, I think I prefer [name_f]Gabriella[/name_f] just for a little bit more softness. Feels quite dated to me.
[name_f]Tessa[/name_f] - It’s ok, I’ve never loved the [name_f]Tessa[/name_f]/[name_f]Tess[/name_f] names but they’re nice enough names. [name_m]Just[/name_m] not my style.
[name_f]Victoria[/name_f] - It’s nice. I don’t like any of the more common nicknames though ([name_f]Tori[/name_f], [name_f]Vicky[/name_f]), I prefer [name_f]Ria[/name_f] or [name_f]Via[/name_f].
[name_f]Natalie[/name_f] - It’s my [name_m]SIL[/name_m]'s name and it’s nice. Not one I think I’d ever use, but nice enough.
[name_f]Adaya[/name_f] - Is it [name_m]Ah[/name_m]-day-ah or A-dy-ah? I feel like I could like this name, but I’m not sure how to say it. Adeia prn [name_m]Ah[/name_m]-day-ah would be lovely.
[name_f]Claire[/name_f] - Gorgeous.

Favourites: [name_f]Thea[/name_f] and [name_f]Claire[/name_f]

I like [name_f]Claudia[/name_f] a lot. It’s very classy.
[name_f]Thea[/name_f] is personally not my style.
[name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f] is gorgeous but I don’t think it ages too well.
[name_f]Tessa[/name_f] is really pretty but to me sounds like a nn (if so, what for?).
[name_f]Victoria[/name_f] is stunning and I love the vintage, royal essence.
[name_f]Natalie[/name_f] is very pretty but again, I’m not sure about it ageing.
I’ve never heard of [name_f]Adaya[/name_f] but it’s nice and exotic and not over-used.
I like the name [name_f]Claire[/name_f] but I can’t imagine it on a little girl (also I’ve never known a [name_f]Claire[/name_f] that I’ve liked).

Sorry if that was a littl harsh but that’s just my opinion.

[name_f]Claudia[/name_f] - Like it, it seems fashionable and not overused.
[name_f]Thea[/name_f] - Like it, it’s very sweet.
[name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f] - [name_m]Don[/name_m]'t mind it as a middle name but it’s not exciting enough for me as a first name
[name_f]Tessa[/name_f] - Spunky, I like it
[name_f]Victoria[/name_f] - Similar to [name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f], like it as a MN but not so much as a first
[name_f]Natalie[/name_f] - Like it but it seems common so that does turn me off a little
[name_f]Adaya[/name_f] - Not my style
[name_f]Claire[/name_f] - It’s okay, but prefer as a middle

[name_m]Favorite[/name_m]: [name_f]Thea[/name_f]
Least [name_m]Favorite[/name_m]: [name_f]Adaya[/name_f]

I love all the names except [name_f]Adaya[/name_f]. But I agree with some posters about not loving the usual nicknames for [name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f] and [name_f]Victoria[/name_f], so that might help you whittle your list (although [name_f]Bree[/name_f] for [name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f] isn’t bad).
