In order of favourites, starting with most:

Hermione :star: love this name. I knew a little [name_f]Hermione[/name_f], long ago before HP was a thing! It sounds botanical to me, like [name_u]Hyacinth[/name_u] (although I’m aware that it isn’t!), wholesome and pretty but strong-sounding.

Marley - such a soft, lovely name.

Everly - it’s great. I slightly prefer [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u].

Riley - nice on a boy and I haven’t known any female Rileys (I’m in the UK) but I thibk it would be nice.

Madelyn - objectively a great name, just a little overused for me to feel more fond of it.

Briley - I like how it sounds, I just don’t find it exciting.

Bindi - cute name, with a beautiful Australian Aboriginal meaning :butterfly: However my first association is with its meaning as a red dot worn by some married Hindu women, so I second guess it as a name. This would soon change if I knew a [name_f]Bindi[/name_f] of course. The late [name_m]Steve[/name_m] [name_m]Irwin[/name_m]’s daughter is called [name_f]Bindi[/name_f], I think?

Ansley - I’m not a fan. Yet I love [name_f]Ensley[/name_f]?! Personal taste is a funny thing!!!

Ansley – I prefer [name_u]Ainsley[/name_u]/Aine, but it’s not bad.

Hermione – love! bright and strong. [name_f]My[/name_f] favourite overall.

Everly – not a huge fan, I much prefer [name_f]Evelina[/name_f]/Eveline.

Riley – prefer on a boy, but it’s lovely on either gender. my second favourite.

Briley – it’s ok, but I prefer [name_u]Riley[/name_u]!

Madelyn – very common, which puts me off it a little. I like [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f], though.

Marley – soft & pretty! third place for me.

Bindi – I prefer [name_f]Bridie[/name_f] or [name_f]Birdie[/name_f]. It’s just not quite there for me, but I see the appeal.

[name_f]Ansley[/name_f] - Nice name, though I think it might get mixed up with the more popular [name_u]Ainsley[/name_u]. I prefer other An- names like [name_f]Annika[/name_f] or [name_f]Annora[/name_f]
[name_f]Hermione[/name_f] - Really pretty name! I like it a lot
[name_u]Everly[/name_u] - Nice sound, but very trendy and popular all of a sudden so I think it will feel quite dated in 10-20 years
[name_u]Riley[/name_u] and [name_u]Briley[/name_u] - Same as [name_u]Everly[/name_u]. I prefer [name_u]Riley[/name_u] to [name_u]Briley[/name_u]
[name_f]Madelyn[/name_f] - Pretty, though very 2000s. I think the [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] or [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] spellings are a bit more timeless
[name_u]Marley[/name_u] - Sweet and fun! Another option is [name_u]Marlowe[/name_u] but both are lovely
[name_f]Bindi[/name_f] - I don’t love it. [name_f]My[/name_f] first thoughts are the word bin, as in garbage bin, and then bind, which has unpleasant connotations.

Ansley - I prefer [name_u]Ainsley[/name_u] and think it would be mistaken for [name_u]Ainsley[/name_u] a lot. [name_f]Ansley[/name_f] feels like its missing something for me personally but I can see the appeal.

Hermione- I can’t get away from [name_u]Harry[/name_u] [name_m]Potter[/name_m] for [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] and its never been a name I really like. Its hard to pronounce to me. But I know its a beloved nsme by many.

Everly- I really love [name_u]Everly[/name_u] :cupid:

Riley- I dont mind it. Im kinda neutral on [name_u]Riley[/name_u]. I have a friend with a daughter Rileigh and it works well. I prefer the [name_u]Riley[/name_u] spelling though

Briley - I like this better than [name_u]Riley[/name_u]! I would prefer [name_u]Briar[/name_u] but [name_u]Briley[/name_u] is sorta pretty

Madelyn- I like [name_f]Madelyn[/name_f]. I like the [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] spelling best but enjoy all variations of the name.

Marley- love [name_u]Marley[/name_u]!!

Bindi - I cant really get on board and wonder if this could be inappropriate in some cultures? I dont know. It also sounds nick namey and cutesy like it wouldn’t age well.

Ansley - 7/10, I prefer [name_u]Ainsley[/name_u] but [name_u]Lennie[/name_u] and [name_f]Annie[/name_f] are cute nicknames!

Hermione - 6/10, The name is nice but it’s too connected to [name_u]Harry[/name_u] [name_m]Potter[/name_m] for me. [name_f]Minnie[/name_f] and [name_f]Nina[/name_f] are beautiful nicknames.

Everly - 10/10, I love this one! [name_f]Evie[/name_f] and [name_u]Ever[/name_u] would make great nicknames.

Riley - 7/10, I’m not a fan of [name_u]Riley[/name_u]. It’s a nice name but just not my style.

Briley - 5/10, I prefer [name_u]Riley[/name_u] over [name_u]Briley[/name_u]. I prefer [name_f]Brynley[/name_f] or [name_f]Brynn[/name_f]!

Madelyn - 9/10, I love [name_f]Madelyn[/name_f], it has so many different nicknames and goes well with many different names!

Marley - 8/10, [name_u]Marley[/name_u] isn’t my style but it’s cute.

Bindi - 4/10, This is not my style, what about [name_f]Birdie[/name_f] or [name_f]Mindi[/name_f]?

Ansley - has a nice sound, but feels a bit too trendy for my taste!
[name_f]Hermione[/name_f] - such a beautiful name. It does have an overwhelming HP association though. Would probably get a lot of “like the [name_u]Harry[/name_u] [name_m]Potter[/name_m] character??” comments. If you don’t mind that though, I think the name is strong and spunky. Great nn options too! [name_u]Hero[/name_u] is my favorite. (and I think the character is a nice association to have anyway)
[name_u]Everly[/name_u] - I always wish this wasn’t such a trendy name, because I love this name. Such a pretty sound and look. There are lovely “Ev-” alternatives though!
[name_u]Riley[/name_u] - I really only like [name_u]Riley[/name_u] on a boy, sorry!
[name_u]Briley[/name_u] - I’m not a fan of the way this sounds, I’m really sorry! Maybe [name_u]Briar[/name_u] or [name_u]Bailey[/name_u] would be something you like!
[name_f]Madelyn[/name_f] - soft, sweet, classic name. I personally slightly prefer [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f].
[name_u]Marley[/name_u] - a very cute name! I like the sound of it, though I slightly prefer [name_u]Marlow[/name_u].
[name_f]Bindi[/name_f] - [name_f]Bindi[/name_f] [name_m]Irwin[/name_m] is a wonderful association, and I’ve always absolutely loved this name, but it feels inappropriate to use if you aren’t from certain cultures. Sorry!
