[name]Marlowe[/name]

Short feedback: I wholeheartedly endorse [name]Elena[/name], [name]Julia[/name], and Rosabel; I think it’s worth considering [name]Maia[/name], [name]Giulia[/name], [name]Emilie[/name], [name]Evangeline[/name], and [name]Adelie[/name]; and I think you should probably let Emiliese and [name]Olivia[/name] go. Below I give some reasons and some other names to consider.

Good luck!

[name]Elena[/name] - beautiful wonderful name! Great option!!

consider:
[name]Eleanor[/name]
[name]Helena[/name]
[name]Selena[/name]

[name]Maia[/name] - I like this name, but if you are worried about popularity with [name]Emilie[/name]/[name]Emily[/name] and [name]Olivia[/name], [name]Maya[/name] is doing quite well too. If you use this, I’d suggest the [name]Maya[/name] spelling for ease. [name]Maia[/name] is perfectly valid and doesn’t bother me, but people will guess [name]Maya[/name].

[name]Julia[/name]/[name]Giulia[/name] - beautiful classic. I’d recommend [name]Julia[/name] for ease on the whole. If you are Italian with an Italian last name, [name]Giulia[/name] is nice and fine, although I don’t know that it adds much over [name]Julia[/name] which still looks fine with an Italian last name.

[name]Emilie[/name] (although I’m afraid of it being to popular) - Popularity itself is not a bad thing, and this is a nice, classic name. I’d highly recommend [name]Emily[/name] for ease, but [name]Emilie[/name] is OK.

Consider:
[name]Amelia[/name]
[name]Cecily[/name]
[name]Cicely[/name]
[name]Cecelia[/name]
[name]Cecilia[/name]

Emiliese - hmm. Is there a family history of this name? It’s an interesting smoosh, but I can only see it causing the little girl headaches.

Consider:
[name]Emmeline[/name]
[name]Anneliese[/name]

Rosabel - intriguing option! I like it.

Consider:
[name]Rosemary[/name]
[name]Rosalind[/name]
[name]Rosalyn[/name]

[name]Evangeline[/name] - this name is not my style, but I think it’s a perfectly fine choice!

[name]Olivia[/name] (same fear with popularity) - I love [name]Olivia[/name] but it seems like you need to narrow things down, so I’d let it go unless you love it above all others.

[name]Adelie[/name] - pretty and interesting, but I do wonder if people would just hear [name]Natalie[/name]. [name]Do[/name] you like [name]Natalie[/name]?

Consider:
[name]Natalie[/name]
[name]Adele[/name]
[name]Adela[/name]
[name]Adelia[/name]

[name]Marlowe[/name] - I prefer it spelled [name]Marlo[/name], but this is clearly becoming the more popular spelling.

Consider:
[name]Margo[/name]
[name]Margot[/name]

I like [name]Elena[/name], [name]Julia[/name], [name]Evangeline[/name], [name]Olivia[/name] and [name]Adelie[/name] from your list. They are all very pretty. Popularity issues do not bother me at all, if I like it I will use it but I know not everyone feels that way. [name]Julia[/name] has been a long time love of mine and that one and [name]Elena[/name] seem beautiful and timeless. I don’t know if this helps you at all. :slight_smile: narrowing down is SO hard. We decided to use “C” names, so that really helps me narrow it down. But now I have a ton of names starting with “C” I love, so maybe it doesn’t. Good [name]Luck[/name]!

I really like [name]Elena[/name], [name]Julia[/name] (not the Guilia spelling though), and [name]Marlow/name (I like the spelling with out the -e). I think these are all beautiful names for a girl.

I’m okay with [name]Maia[/name] (though I think the [name]Maya[/name] spelling is better), [name]Emilie[/name] (but again, I like the [name]Emily[/name] spelling better, [name]Emilie[/name] just looks like you’re misspelling the name), [name]Evangeline[/name] (it’s okay, it just doesn’t have a pretty sound to me), and [name]Olivia[/name] (I would love this name, but personally I find it to be too popular, but if you love it, I think you should go for it).

I’m not a fan of Emiliese (just sounds made up to me), Rosabel (not a fan of -belle/-bel endings, sound frilly), and [name]Adelie[/name] (in my head I think this is [name]Adele[/name] and that you just misspelled the name).

Other names to consider:
Harlow
Lanie
Melanie
Natalie
Adele
Audrey
Mia
Amelia
Emery
Olive
Juliet
Hadley
Rosalie
Eloise

[name]Elena[/name] - a much more conservative choice than many on the list. I think it’s very beautiful! I also like [name]Eleanor[/name], [name]Lenora[/name], and [name]Eloise[/name] which I think have similarities to [name]Elena[/name]

[name]Maia[/name] - I love [name]Maia[/name], especially this spelling. Have you thought about [name]Kaia[/name]? [name]Maia[/name] seems softer while [name]Kaia[/name] has some extra spunk to me, but both names are great

[name]Julia[/name]/[name]Giulia[/name] - unless you are Italian, I would stick with [name]Julia[/name]! I also love [name]Juliet/name if that appeals to you!

[name]Emilie[/name] - what about [name]Emilia[/name] or [name]Emmeline[/name] (I say [name]EM[/name]-muh-leen)? I think that popularity can be a deciding factor… if you don’t actually love the name. If popularity turns you off a name, that means you probably don’t love it that much :smiley:

Emiliese - I much prefer [name]Anneliese[/name]… I think it would get less confused with the Emilys out there

Rosabel - I think I like [name]Anabel[/name]/[name]Annabelle[/name]/[name]Annabel[/name] a little better because it sounds less made up. A lot of belle names can sound kind of puerile or “young” to me… I think, haha. I vacillate on that

[name]Evangeline[/name] - I love [name]Evangeline[/name] (I say ee-VANJ-eh-leen) and it’s host of nickname options! ([name]Eve[/name] and [name]Evie[/name] being my favorites)

[name]Olivia[/name] - again, if popularity scares you that much, you probably don’t love the name that much, I would then say move on (as nicely as possible, of course!)

[name]Adelie[/name] - I like [name]Adelaide[/name] and [name]Adeline[/name] (I say [name]ADD[/name]-duh-lyn, though others do not) a bit better. I am saying this as [name]ADD[/name]-deh-lee… It’s quite pretty

[name]Marlowe[/name] - I have a soft spot for my name, but it doesn’t fit my usual style. It is a bit more boy-ish/unisex. I would consider that if you plan to have future children

So, if you plan to have more kids, I would definitely consider the differing styles of these names. I think [name]Marlowe[/name] is different than really any of the other names on the list. I think [name]Maia[/name] would go well with [name]Olivia[/name], [name]Julia[/name], and [name]Emilie[/name]. [name]Evangeline[/name] would go better with [name]Adelie[/name], [name]Elena[/name], Emiliese, [name]Emilia[/name], [name]Juliet[/name], and Rosabel while also going well with [name]Olivia[/name]. My favorite of your list is actually, [name]Elena[/name], I think! It is so different from many names nowadays, I guess! The only names I don’t like are Emiliese and Rosabel, but the others are all beautiful and every name on this list is easily respectable! Good luck!

I love [name]Elena[/name]!

7

I like [name]Julia[/name], And i think you will like-
[name]Kaitlyn[/name]
[name]Briella[/name]
[name]Lauren[/name]
[name]Alaina[/name]
cassidy
[name]May[/name]

8

I would pick [name]Elena[/name] from your list…just the right amount of girliness imo. [name]Evangeline[/name] is a little too much in that dept for my tastes. And [name]Elena[/name] feels familiar, but isn’t super common which is what I look for in a name so theirs no confusion like Emeliesse might stir up but she isn’t one of many.

9

My favourites from your list are definitely [name]Maia[/name] and [name]Elena[/name]! I love both these two so much. Goodluck & all the best over the next few weeks!

16

[name]Elena[/name] - love this, though I have seen it A LOT lately, so I think it’s preparing to make a large jump in popularity.

[name]Maia[/name] - This is one of my top names right now. ([name]Maia[/name] [name]Cecily[/name] [name]Pearl[/name]) I adore it and I love this spelling.

[name]Julia[/name]/[name]Giulia[/name] - I think [name]Julia[/name] needs more love. I think it’s sweet and endearing. It’s been declining in p[opularity, too, which is always nice.

[name]Emilie[/name] - While extremely popular, I think it’s nice, though I vastly prefer [name]Emily[/name].

Emiliese - I don’t care for this spelling, I prefer Emelise, but I [name]LOVE[/name] it.

Rosabel _ [name]LOVE[/name]

[name]Evangeline[/name] - another love, but it has dropped off of my list due to popularity.

[name]Olivia[/name] - [name]Olivia[/name] is SO popular, I [name]LOVE[/name] it somuch, but the popularity is insane.

[name]Adelie[/name] - love

[name]Marlowe[/name] - I really dislike this. It’s masculine and the meaning isn’t very pleasant. (“drained lake”), I just do not see the appeal.

Maybe try…

[name]Giada[/name] - instead of Guilia / [name]Julia[/name], it’s the Italian form of [name]Jade[/name].
[name]Lavinia[/name]
[name]Ottilie[/name]
[name]Margot[/name]
[name]Kerensa[/name]
