I adore the names [name_f]Cora[/name_f] and [name_f]Georgiana[/name_f]! :slight_smile:

4

Cecilia - 10. [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] is my niece’s name, so I’m completely biased. I think it’s a beautiful name that’s right in that sweet spot between familiar and unexpected. We call my niece [name_f]Cece[/name_f]. [name_f]Celia[/name_f] is another nickname option, but I don’t consider it great because it’s still three syllables long. My niece doesn’t have a middle name, but I always loved the idea of [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_f]Hazel[/name_f], [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] and [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_f]Belle[/name_f].

Cora - 7. The nickname of my cousin [name_f]Coralee[/name_f] (Oh, how I wish they had spelled it without the trendy -ee. Her brothers are [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] and [name_m]Edgar[/name_m], and it would have worked so well as [name_f]Coralie[/name_f]). Sweet, cute, and ages well. I like [name_f]Cora[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f], [name_f]Cora[/name_f] [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] and [name_f]Cora[/name_f] [name_f]Millie[/name_f].

Delilah - 2. Never been a fan. I much prefer just [name_f]Lilah[/name_f]. It seems like a sort of hippie name to me.

Georgiana - 2. Never been a fan of [name_f]Georgiana[/name_f] either. I tend not to like more uncommon feminizations, as they seem a bit clunky and awkward. I love [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] though.

Gretta - 8. [name_u]Love[/name_u] this name, but I can’t decide whether I love [name_f]Greta[/name_f] or this spelling better. [name_u]Love[/name_u] the idea of [name_f]Gretta[/name_f] [name_f]Jasmine[/name_f] or [name_f]Gretta[/name_f] [name_u]Allison[/name_u].

Honora - 4. Interesting, but not my style. [name_f]Norah[/name_f] would make a cute nickname. I imagine [name_f]Honora[/name_f] [name_f]Poppy[/name_f] and [name_f]Honora[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f].

Isla - 9. I always loved the fresh, clean cut sound of [name_f]Isla[/name_f]. My favourite combos are [name_f]Isla[/name_f] [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f], [name_f]Isla[/name_f] [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] and [name_f]Isla[/name_f] [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f].

Juliette - 3. I prefer this spelling to [name_f]Juliet[/name_f], but I’m indifferent on the actual name.

Margo - 5. I prefer [name_f]Margot[/name_f], but anyhow it’s a beautiful name. It’s been on my list as [name_f]Margot[/name_f] [name_f]Belle[/name_f] for a while. I also love the idea of [name_f]Margot[/name_f] [name_f]Lilia[/name_f].

Romy - 4. Cute nickname for [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f], but I find it hard to see as a full name. [name_u]Romy[/name_u] [name_u]Addison[/name_u]?

Wren - 6. A bit too trendy for me to love again. I like [name_u]Wren[/name_u] [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] and [name_u]Wren[/name_u] [name_f]Jolie[/name_f].

5

[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] - 5 (Probably my least favorite -lia name)
[name_f]Cora[/name_f] - 8 (Short and sweet!)
[name_f]Delilah[/name_f] - 9 ([name_f]Lila[/name_f] would be a cute nickname)
[name_f]Georgiana[/name_f] - 1 (Not my style at all)
[name_f]Gretta[/name_f] - 1 (It sounds a bit harsh)
[name_f]Honora[/name_f] - 3
[name_f]Isla[/name_f] - 6 (I like it but it’s pretty trendy)
[name_f]Juliette[/name_f] - 7
[name_f]Margo[/name_f] - 8 (I’d give it a 10 if it was spelled [name_f]Margot[/name_f])
[name_u]Romy[/name_u] - 8
[name_u]Wren[/name_u] - 10 :slight_smile:

6

[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] - 6. Not a bad choice, but the meaning isn’t too good.

[name_f]Cora[/name_f] - 8. Very nice, works on an adult and child. A little plain though, lacks some spunk.

[name_f]Delilah[/name_f] - 5. Too fluffy for my taste, but a decent choice, however an iffy background.

[name_f]Georgiana[/name_f] - 8. Posh but usable. I like just [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] better though, that would be a ten.

[name_f]Gretta[/name_f] - 7. A nice choice but I think you have better options here. It’s a little harsh.

[name_f]Honora[/name_f] - 3. [name_f]Virtue[/name_f] names are tough even though this is more of a name than [name_f]Honor[/name_f]. I’m Canadian and see it misspelled too since it would be Honoura :stuck_out_tongue:

[name_f]Isla[/name_f] - 9. [name_m]Even[/name_m] though this is popular, I really like it. It’s short and manages to be professional, cute, spunky, and classy all at the same time. I always think of a nice scotch because of [name_f]Islay[/name_f].

[name_f]Juliette[/name_f] - 1. I’m sorry, I’m not the person to give opinions on this, but I really dislike all [name_u]Julie[/name_u] variations. Mostly because they feel dated and pompous (sorry!).

[name_f]Margo[/name_f] - 8. Very cute, I love that this name is back. I find this name easy to pair with a middle, easy to spell, has a nice sound to it.

[name_u]Romy[/name_u] - 9. I love how simple and sweet this name is. I think it would suit a modern girl very well.

[name_u]Wren[/name_u] - 9. A favourite on this site for a reason! I love simple and straightforward names like this. It’s very fresh feeling but classic at the same time.

7

You have a beautiful list here!

[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] - 8.5 I think this name is beautiful. It’s one of those names that I don’t think I would personally use, but I’m always happy when I hear other people use it.
[name_f]Cora[/name_f] - 8 This is a great name.
[name_f]Delilah[/name_f] - 7 This name has been growing on me. I think it’s cute and fresh sounding.
[name_f]Georgiana[/name_f] - 8 A little long, but such a gorgeous name.
[name_f]Gretta[/name_f] - 7.5 It’s cute and spunky, but also ages well.
[name_f]Honora[/name_f] - 5 It’s ok, but I much prefer just [name_f]Nora[/name_f].
[name_f]Isla[/name_f] - 6 I feel like I see this name so often. It’s fine but doesn’t feel special.
[name_f]Juliette[/name_f] - 10 beautiful and chic.
[name_f]Margo[/name_f] - 6 similar to [name_f]Isla[/name_f]. There’s nothing wrong with it. It just seems to be everywhere and has lost its charm.
[name_u]Romy[/name_u] - 2 I’ve never been a fan of this name on its own. I do think it makes a cute nickname for [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f].
[name_u]Wren[/name_u] - 10! One of my favorites. I wish I could get my husband on board with this one, but he doesn’t like it. :frowning:

8

[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f]- 8 beautiful, classic, love Cici as nn. [name_f]Cecelia[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u] [name_f]Cecelia[/name_f] [name_f]Eve[/name_f]

[name_f]Cora[/name_f]-8 love with a less traditional 1 syllable middle like [name_f]Cora[/name_f] [name_u]Wren[/name_u] or [name_f]Cora[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] or [name_f]Cora[/name_f] [name_u]Gray[/name_u]

[name_f]Delilah[/name_f]-1 reminds me of the biblical philistine temptress

[name_f]Georgiana[/name_f]- 7 prefer as a middle

[name_f]Gretta[/name_f]-7 charming and sweet but I prefer the classic spelling

[name_f]Honora[/name_f]- 5 it’s pretty but not swooning

[name_f]Isla[/name_f]- 7 love this

[name_f]Juliette[/name_f] 6 too common for me

[name_f]Margo[/name_f]-10 my favorite on your list and one of my top 5. [name_f]Margo[/name_f] [name_f]Julienne[/name_f], [name_f]Margo[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f]

[name_u]Romy[/name_u]- 7

[name_u]Wren[/name_u]- 9 [name_u]Wren[/name_u] [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] [name_u]Wren[/name_u] [name_f]Eleanora[/name_f] [name_u]Wren[/name_u] [name_f]Georgianne[/name_f]

9

[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] - 9 beautiful & classy!

[name_f]Cora[/name_f] - 6 I prefer it as a nickname for [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]

[name_f]Delilah[/name_f] - 6 Pretty name, I just don’t like the meaning

[name_f]Georgiana[/name_f] - 5 It’s okay. I like it better than [name_f]Georgia[/name_f]. & [name_u]Georgie[/name_u] is an adorable nickname.

[name_f]Gretta[/name_f] - 4 Would be a cute nickname for [name_f]Margarethe[/name_f]

[name_f]Honora[/name_f] - 4

[name_f]Isla[/name_f] - 7

[name_f]Juliette[/name_f] - 8 I may prefer the [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] spelling.

[name_f]Margo[/name_f] - 5 I prefer [name_f]Margaret[/name_f]

[name_u]Romy[/name_u] - 4 Would be a cute nickname for [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f], [name_f]Ramona[/name_f], or [name_f]Romilly[/name_f]

[name_u]Wren[/name_u] - 10 [name_u]Love[/name_u] it as a middle!

10

[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f]: 4/10 This name is ok. It is definitely not my favorite from the list. I like [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_f]Rosemarie[/name_f].
[name_f]Cora[/name_f]: 8/10 [name_u]Love[/name_u] this name. Sounds so fresh and modern. I like [name_f]Cora[/name_f] [name_f]Naomi[/name_f].
[name_f]Delilah[/name_f]: 7/10 Average name but pretty. I like [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f].
[name_f]Georgiana[/name_f]: 10/10 I adore this name but my SO doesn’t like it. I love the combo [name_f]Georgiana[/name_f] [name_f]Eve[/name_f].
[name_f]Gretta[/name_f]: 1/10 This name sounds too old fashioned and out dated in my opinion. Something modern in the middle might help bring it to life. Perhaps [name_f]Gretta[/name_f] [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] or [name_f]Gretta[/name_f] [name_f]Poppy[/name_f].
[name_f]Honora[/name_f]: 7/10 I have a love/hate relationship with this name. It sounds so classic and pretty but sometimes when I say it I hear “annoying”. I like [name_f]Honora[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f].
[name_f]Isla[/name_f]: 9/10 [name_u]Love[/name_u] this name. With the perfect middle it could be a 10/10. I like [name_f]Isla[/name_f] [name_f]Seraphine[/name_f].
[name_f]Juliette[/name_f]: 7/10 This is a name I also have a love/hate relationship with. It is so romantic sounding but sometimes the [name_m]Shakespeare[/name_m] reference is a bit much. I like [name_f]Juliette[/name_f] [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f].
[name_f]Margo[/name_f]: 6/10 I prefer the [name_f]Margaux[/name_f] spelling. I like [name_f]Margaux[/name_f] [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f].
[name_u]Romy[/name_u]: 0/10 Sounds like a hamster name to me.
[name_u]Wren[/name_u]: 10/10 [name_u]Love[/name_u] this name, so classic. [name_u]Wren[/name_u] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] is pretty.

You have a lovely list here!

[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f]: 8 - very sophisticated, and pretty without being too frilly. [name_f]Cece[/name_f] is a beautiful nickname, too. Personally, I really don’t think the name’s meaning is a problem - how many people are going to know what it means really?! I do slightly prefer the Old English variants [name_f]Cecily[/name_f] and [name_f]Cicely[/name_f], but [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f]/[name_f]Cecelia[/name_f] is beautiful.

[name_f]Cora[/name_f]: 9 - I really love this name. I think it’s sweet and feisty, and feels just the right amount of vintage to work beautifully in 2017. The whole [name_m]Cor[/name_m]- family of names is starting to get a bit more attention though, so watch out for this one to rise up the popularity rankings, especially with the Downton [name_u]Abbey[/name_u] link.

[name_f]Delilah[/name_f]: 8 - I relly like [name_f]Delilah[/name_f]. It does feel very youthful, but then lots of names given to babies nowadays do and I’m sure they’ll all age fine. There is the negative Biblical association to bear in mind, but if you’re not religious then I don’t see why this has to be an issue. Depending on where you live, it may not be an immediate association for most people these days anyway.

[name_f]Georgiana[/name_f]: 7 - beautiful and again very sophisticated (even aristocratic!), but it is pretty long and fussy. The great thing about this name is that she’ll have a ton of nickname options to choose from, even if she turns out to be a real tomboy.

[name_f]Gretta[/name_f]: 8 - [name_f]Greta[/name_f] is lovely (this is the usual spelling - not sure about the double t). It’s strong, punchy, retro and very cool.

[name_f]Honora[/name_f]: 9 - I think this is beautiful. Very unusual but very classy and ladylike. I love [name_f]Honor[/name_f] and [name_f]Annora[/name_f] too.

[name_f]Isla[/name_f]: 6 - lovely name but very popular at the moment where I live and therefore feels quite unexciting to me.

[name_f]Juliette[/name_f]: 8 - I like this spelling much less than the more streamlined [name_f]Juliet[/name_f], but it is a really beautiful, underused, feminine yet unfrilly name. If I had a [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] I’d call her [name_u]Jet[/name_u]!

[name_f]Margo[/name_f]: 8 - Again, I prefer an alternative spelling ([name_f]Margot[/name_f]), but I think this is a beautiful vintage name which feels just right in 2017. [name_f]Maggie[/name_f] or [name_f]Meg[/name_f] would make for cute nicknames.

[name_u]Romy[/name_u]: 6 - This one feels more like a nickname to me, a bit unfinished. I love it as a nickname for something like [name_f]Ramona[/name_f] or [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f], but not so much on its own.

[name_u]Wren[/name_u]: 9 - I think this is a beautiful name. Spare, strong and sweet. I wonder though if you’d ave to be a certain sort of person to pull it off?

keep in mind im a harsh judge…
[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] - 6 : Cute + okay-ish nickname potential
[name_f]Cora[/name_f] - 3 : Too short and simple to stand on its own imo.
[name_f]Delilah[/name_f] - 8 : I really like it but it’s too popular
[name_f]Georgiana[/name_f] - 8: Not one of mmy favorite -ana names but still really pretty
[name_f]Gretta[/name_f] - 8.5 : I just really like this for some reason?
[name_f]Honora[/name_f]- 2 : No. Sounds too much like just [name_f]Honor[/name_f] and I dislike the nickname [name_f]Nora[/name_f]. [name_f]Honey[/name_f] is too much as well. An old lady name
[name_f]Isla[/name_f] - 5: Too short and popular plus people will pronounce it tthe wrong way. It is kind of charming though
[name_f]Juliette[/name_f] - 7.5: I prefer the [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] spelling but it is a wonderful namme
[name_f]Margo[/name_f] - 0 : Terrible, just terrible old-lady-from-a-village name with no elegant/cute nicknames
[name_u]Romy[/name_u] - 8 : Cute, even though its short
[name_u]Wren[/name_u] - 8: A little too masculine and short but quite appealing

16

Cecilia - 2/10 - I like [name_f]Cecily[/name_f], but not [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f]. It just seems too frilly, though there is some nn potential
Cora - 4/10
Delilah - 10/10 - One of my favorite names! Very sweet and ages well, imo. Some nn: [name_f]Della[/name_f], [name_f]Delia[/name_f], [name_f]Lila[/name_f]
Georgiana - 9/10 - An old classic that is both cute and spunky, and with plenty of nn options
Gretta - 3/10
Honora - 10/10 - Another favorite. There aren’t many nn’s for it, but I still think it’s a beautiful name
Isla - 6/10
Juliette - 5/10
Margo - 8/10 - I prefer the [name_f]Margaux[/name_f] spelling, but that’s just a personal preference
Romy - 1/10 - Really dislike. Sounds harsh and not at all pretty (in my opinion)
Wren - 7/10
