[RedVelvet_Cupcake_Qu]

I’m biased because my name is [name_f]Kalista[/name_f] but I’d rather have the spelling [name_f]Calista[/name_f] but my mom felt the need to continue the K name tradition in the family.

[name_f]Calista[/name_f] 6/10 because of spelling any other spelling would be a 1/10
[name_f]Lily[/name_f] 8/10 cute yet simple and sounds so sweet

[Hilary112]

[name_f]Camellia[/name_f]: this name is beautiful. While I do prefer [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] or even [name_f]Amelie[/name_f], I think this is a lovely alternative if you want a rarer name. 7/10
[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f]: this one sounds classy without being overdone. I like it a lot! 7/10
[name_f]Calista[/name_f]: Not to my taste but that’s not to say it’s a bad name. I love the nickname [name_f]Callie[/name_f]! 4/10
[name_f]Theodora[/name_f]: seems a bit old fashioned but still a lovely name 5/10
[name_f]Thea[/name_f]: I prefer this to [name_f]Theodora[/name_f]. It sounds quite cute but I can also see it on an adult. 6/10
[name_f]Lillia[/name_f]: I absolutely love this one. 9/10
[name_f]Simona[/name_f]: I prefer [name_u]Simone[/name_u] but this is nice too. 7.5/10
[name_f]Irina[/name_f]: I absolutely love [name_f]Irene[/name_f] but [name_f]Irina[/name_f] not so much 4/10 (8/10 for Irene)
[name_f]Diana[/name_f]: what a beautiful name. [name_u]Love[/name_u] the reference to the royal family too. 9.5/10
[name_f]Natalia[/name_f]: [name_f]Beautiful[/name_f] name 7/10
[name_f]Rose[/name_f]: seems a bit too short to me. But us still very sweet. 6/10
[name_f]Esmé[/name_f]: I know a lot of people like this name but I really don’t. I think it would be okay as a middle name. It isn’t terrible I just don’t see what all the fuss is about this name. 3/10
[name_f]Lily[/name_f]: I absolutely love this name it’s just way too common where I am. I prefer [name_f]Tilly[/name_f] or [name_f]Milly[/name_f] as they are less common but still sound just as beautiful. 9/10
[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps

[Indilee]

camellia - i prefer camilla, camellia is too strongly associated with the flower for me. in saying that, names like rose and violet are perfectly acceptable, so i don’t think there’d be an issue regarding wearability. 7/10

cecilia - 7/10

calista - beautiful! i’ve liked calista for a very long time. 8/10

theodora - still a bit dated in my opinion. 5/10

thea - 7/10

lilia - 7/10

simona - 7/10

irina - love it! 9/10

diana - i’ve just come around to liking diana; it’s very sweet. 8/10

natalia - 7/10

rose - it’s sweet, but a bit overdone in my eyes. i prefer alternatives such as wildrose and rosetta. 5/10

esmé - i personally have a love-hate relationship with esmé, but in general/for others, i think it’s lovely. 6/10

lily - not a fan, it just doesn’t appeal to me at all. 1/10

milly - cute, but i prefer the millie spelling. 6/10

[EdgeOfTheMeadow]

There are no names on your list I dislike or feel neutrally about, they’re all fabulous!

[name_f]Camellia[/name_f] ~ 9. A lovely plant name.
[name_f]Cecelia[/name_f] ~ 10. Any name rated 10 means I’d name a child this! I find it elegant and a bit quirky.
[name_f]Calista[/name_f] ~ 9. I love it’s mix of soft and crisp sounds.
[name_f]Theodora[/name_f] ~ 8.
[name_f]Thea[/name_f] ~ 10.
[name_f]Lilia[/name_f] ~ 7. Would be rated more highly only I’ve thought about it a bit too much lately and made myself overly familiar with it!!
[name_f]Simona[/name_f] ~ 9. It would be so exciting to meet a [name_f]Simona[/name_f]. I prefer it to [name_u]Simone[/name_u].
[name_f]Irina[/name_f] ~ 8.
[name_f]Diana[/name_f] ~ 7. See [name_f]Lilia[/name_f]. The most positive association I have with [name_f]Diana[/name_f] is [name_u]Gal[/name_u] Gadot’s [name_u]Wonder[/name_u] Woman!
[name_f]Natalia[/name_f] ~ 9.
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] ~ 10.

[abbiebickmore]

[name_f]Camellia[/name_f] - 2/10 not really sure how to pronounce it but seems too frilly for my liking!
[name_f]Lilia[/name_f] - 2/10 too many L sounds which I’m not a fan of!
[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] - 3/10 don’t really like how the ceci part sounds - I prefer [name_f]Celia[/name_f]
[name_f]Natalia[/name_f] - 4/10 not super against this one, but just not a fan ‘lia’ ending names, and I love [name_f]Natalie[/name_f] so much more
[name_f]Lily[/name_f] - 5/10 pretty name but there’s not much to it in my opinion
[name_f]Calista[/name_f] - 6/10 don’t think I’d use it but I actually think this is pretty cool for other people
[name_f]Esmé[/name_f] - 6/10 one that I definitely don’t dislike but it just doesn’t have that sparkle for me
[name_f]Thea[/name_f] - 7/10 I think this name is cool! short and sweet but something about the ‘th’ at the beginning just sounds so nice to me!
[name_f]Simona[/name_f] - 7/10 love the flow of this name! also feel like it could suit anyone!
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] - 7/10 simple and classic but just so lovely!
[name_f]Diana[/name_f] - 8/10 absolutely gorgeous!! [name_f]Dinah[/name_f] is one of my all time favourites so [name_f]Diana[/name_f] is right up my alley
[name_f]Theodora[/name_f] - 9/10 I love that this is a long name whilst still not sounding super girly! love the fact that there’s options for a more classic feminine nn or a more neutral one! just so good!!
[name_f]Irina[/name_f] - 9/10 I have no idea why I love this name so much, just something about it sounds so cool to me! I think, like [name_f]Simona[/name_f], it could also suit pretty much anyone!!

[snowmaiden]

What an nice list!

Camellia: 8/10 - This is a pretty name! It’s also got so much nickname potential. Cammie, Mila, Millie… so sweet.
Cecelia: 6/10 - This is a nice name. It’s a bit like a floral couch to me—old and familiar, but not particularly beautiful.
Calista: 5/10 - Just not my cup of tea, but objectively pretty!
Theodora: 9/10 - Delightful! This is such a fun, pretty name. Unique and beautiful, plus lots of nicknames from Thea to Teddy.
Thea: 7/10 - Pretty, but I like it best as a nickname for Theodora.
Lilia: 7/10 - Pretty as well, but a bit of a mouthful! The L’s and the ‘yuh’ sound at the end trip me up! But it’s still so pretty.
Simona: 6.5/10 - This is a cool name! I’ve never heard it before, and it’s quite cute.
Irina: 4/10 - I just don’t really like this one.
Diana: 3/10 - I don’t like Diana or Diane much. They just sound old and icky to me.
Natalia: 3/10 - Just not my cup of tea, again.
Rose: 11/10 - My cup of tea! I adore Rose. It’s very sweet and quaint while strong and firm at the same time. Timeless and very beautiful.
Esmé: 7/10 - Pretty name! My best friend is completely obsessed with Twilight, and the character Esmé is not my favorite, but that’s what I think of.
Lily: 6/10 - Nice, but a bit common.

[MichelleM]

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there.

Here are my thoughts-

[name_f]Camellia[/name_f] (8/10)-It’s so so pretty. I love the floral aspect. It’s strong & warm & feminine. It’s not terribly complicated, but fairly unique. I like the nns [name_f]Callie[/name_f], [name_f]Millie[/name_f] & [name_f]Mila[/name_f] too. I’m not a big fan of [name_f]Cami[/name_f] though. Are you? It’s probably avoidable.

[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] (7/10)-This is nice. I like just [name_f]Celia[/name_f] a lot more for some reason. [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] feels a little more intellectual, I think? That’s not a bad thing. [name_m]Just[/name_m] an adjective I have to describe it.

Calista(7/10)-Ooh, I like it. It has a bit of a mystical vibe that I like a lot. I do prefer [name_f]Callista[/name_f]. It looks more symmetrical. Plus, the nn [name_f]Callie[/name_f] is adorable.

[name_f]Theodora[/name_f] (8/10)-That’s nice. Very bold & feminine but not frilly.

[name_f]Thea[/name_f] (8/10)-I think that this is sweet & calm & smart. I can’t decide if I like it better on its own or as a nn. I think that I prefer just [name_f]Thea[/name_f] to [name_f]Theodora[/name_f].

[name_f]Lilia[/name_f] (10/10)- So elegant & exotic & lovable &…purple! It has a botanical vibe of the [name_f]Lily[/name_f] flower, even though it’s not the same name.

[name_f]Simona[/name_f] (6/10)-I like it in theory more than the actual sound of the name. It sounds smart & interesting.

[name_f]Irina[/name_f] (3/10)-I’m not into this one. No good reason why, but I think it sounds like a mean girl. I may be in the minority here for sure.

[name_f]Diana[/name_f] (4/10)-I don’t like this much either. I think it seems a tad dated.

[name_f]Natalia[/name_f] (4/10)-I get the same vibe here as I do from [name_f]Irina[/name_f].

[name_f]Rose[/name_f] (8/10)-That’s elegant & classic & has the adorable nn of [name_f]Rosie[/name_f].

[name_f]Esmé[/name_f] (10/10)-I love it! It’s elegant & pixie-ish! A bit tricky to say/spell, but worth it for such a gorgeous name.

[name_f]Lily[/name_f] (10/10)-I go back & fourth about if I like this or [name_f]Lilia[/name_f] more. This is more sunshine-y whereas [name_f]Lilia[/name_f] is a bit darker. But in a good way. Anyway, [name_f]Lily[/name_f] is super lovable. [name_f]Pretty[/name_f] popular though, but I still love it.

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps.

[firefly305]

[name_f]Camellia[/name_f] — Reminds me of the flower, but it seems like a misspelled [name_f]Camilla[/name_f] to the untrained eye. I prefer [name_u]Camille[/name_u]. 6/10 for creativity and botanical vibe.
[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] — Cute, regal, and fresh, but it’s a tad frilly for me. 7/10.
[name_f]Calista[/name_f] — Exciting and [name_f]Callie[/name_f] is a sweet nn. I’m not sure what it is, but I can’t give it 10/10. It might be a slightly harsh m, idk. 9/10.
[name_f]Theodora[/name_f] — I remember starting here on NB and loving the name [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] [name_f]Theodora[/name_f] because of a silent film actress. [name_f]Theodora[/name_f] is a fab name, if a tad fantastical! 9/10.
[name_f]Thea[/name_f] — This sounds like a sound rather than a name to me, I’m afraid.
[name_f]Lilia[/name_f] — The ambiguous pronunciation and its frillier sound compared to the very close [name_f]Lily[/name_f] dissuade me. 6/10.
[name_f]Simona[/name_f] — Nice enough, but I prefer [name_u]Simone[/name_u]. 6/10.
[name_f]Irina[/name_f] — 6/10. The “Ir” sound has been unappealing to me of late despite my keenness for “reen” names.
[name_f]Diana[/name_f] — 8.5/10. Gorgeous and rich, I love it! However I watched something recently with a mean [name_f]Diana[/name_f] and that threw me off it.
[name_f]Natalia[/name_f] — I loved this name growing up! However, it’s closeness to Nutella has been brought up to me several times. 7.5/10.
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] — 8.5/10. [name_u]Stark[/name_u] and beautiful, clipped of all frills. It’s a little older sounding to me, but undeniably a classic.
[name_f]Esmé[/name_f] — A bit fey and slightly frumpy and lacking in melody, but pretty sound. 7.5/10.
[name_f]Lily[/name_f] — 9/10. [name_u]Perfect[/name_u] for young and old, but rendered faceless and boring due to overuse. Also, it will be misspelled… a lot.

[AdroitArtemis]

[name_f]Camellia[/name_f] (6/10) - sounds like a made up version of [name_f]Camilla[/name_f], tho I kind of like it. I could see people messing up the spelling and pronunciation tho. I do like [name_u]Cam[/name_u] as a nickname for a girl.

[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] (1/10) - don’t like this name at all. I’ve never known a nice Cecelia/Cecilia. Don’t like the possible nicknames either

[name_f]Calista[/name_f] (7/10) - lovely meaning, [name_f]Callie[/name_f] is an adorable nickname that ages well. I also love the mythology connection, tho I prefer the spelling Kallista/Kallisto (the one L makes it look incomplete to me)

[name_f]Theodora[/name_f] (9/10) - [name_u]Theo[/name_u] is just darling for a little girl. [name_u]Love[/name_u] the meaning. I dislike that it’s popular but that shouldn’t stop you from using it

[name_f]Thea[/name_f] (5/10) - I find this name somewhat boring. Perhaps as a nickname to [name_f]Dorothea[/name_f]. [name_m]Just[/name_m] not my taste, but a nice name nonetheless

[name_f]Lilia[/name_f] (7/10) - this is the only version of ‘lily’ I like. It sounds almost dystopian. [name_u]Love[/name_u] it, but hate the potential nickname [name_f]Lily[/name_f]

[name_f]Simona[/name_f] (6/10) - The girl version of [name_m]Simon[/name_m] I prefer is [name_f]Simonetta[/name_f]. [name_f]Simona[/name_f] is okay, but I can see it fitting in well, especially since the rise of [name_u]Simone[/name_u] Biles

[name_f]Irina[/name_f] (2/10) - Too old lady for me. No nicknames. It gets some points because it’s better than [name_f]Irene[/name_f] and I like the meaning

[name_f]Diana[/name_f] (7/10) - boring name but love the historical connection to [name_f]Princess[/name_f] [name_f]Diana[/name_f] and also [name_u]Wonder[/name_u] Woman. [name_u]Strong[/name_u], powerful, classic, timeless, stunning!

[name_f]Natalia[/name_f] (0/10) - my least favorite name on your list. I don’t like the nickname [name_u]Nat[/name_u] and I had a bully in middle school named [name_f]Natalie[/name_f] so not good associations

[name_f]Rose[/name_f] (5/10) - bland but timeless. I prefer it as a nickname to a longer version such as [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] or [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f]. Works with everything and is guaranteed to fit in

[name_f]Esme[/name_f] (4/10) - all I can think of it the character from [name_u]Twilight[/name_u], take that as you will lol. It would be a cute nickname for [name_f]Emerald[/name_f]

[name_f]Lily[/name_f] (1/10) - lilies are pretty flowers, but this name is so overused imo. I prefer [name_f]Lilia[/name_f]. However, [name_f]Lily[/name_f] and [name_f]Rose[/name_f] would be a cute sibling set

[Araminty]

I’ll just put them in groups -

[name_u]Love[/name_u]:
[name_f]Rose[/name_f]

Like:
[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f]
[name_f]Theodora[/name_f]
[name_f]Simona[/name_f] (but love Simone)
[name_f]Diana[/name_f]
[name_f]Esme[/name_f]
[name_f]Lily[/name_f]

Neutral:
[name_f]Camellia[/name_f] (but love [name_u]Camille[/name_u] and Camilla)
[name_f]Calista[/name_f]
[name_f]Thea[/name_f]
[name_f]Lilia[/name_f]
[name_f]Irina[/name_f]
[name_f]Natalia[/name_f]

[MusicWaves]

[name_f]Camellia[/name_f] (1.5/10) - Firstly, it’s just not my style, but I still think it’s pretty. [name_f]My[/name_f] only thing is I strongly consider it a flower/plant over a name

[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] (2/10)

[name_f]Calista[/name_f] (6/10) - It such a sparkly name! I knew a girl named [name_f]Callista[/name_f] (double L) and she was such a kind person. Would never use it, but think it’s a very cool name.

[name_f]Theodora[/name_f] (2/10)

[name_f]Thea[/name_f] (7.5/10) - Used to not be a fan but it’s growing on me!! I think it works very well for all ages, is still cute on a little girl but has a professional flair for an adult.

[name_f]Lilia[/name_f] (9/10) - LOVE this name.

[name_f]Simona[/name_f] (1/10) - Not my style sorry!

[name_f]Irina[/name_f] (3/10) - Sounds so exotic but just not my style.

[name_f]Diana[/name_f] (3/10)

[name_f]Natalia[/name_f] (4/10)

[name_f]Rose[/name_f] (8/10) - LOVE [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_f]Rosie[/name_f], [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f]. Think it’s so so pretty.

[name_f]Esme[/name_f] (7.5/10) - I actually quite like [name_f]Esme[/name_f]! I think my biggest draw back is that my Dad would always say the saying of ‘Quit being an esme’ as a kid, so I’m not sure I could name my daughter that! If you don’t have a father like mine, I say go for it .

[name_f]Lily[/name_f] (7/10) - I also love the flower, but because of it’s popularity I do consider it a name over a flower. I love this as a nickname over a full name. In particular for [name_f]Lilia[/name_f] or [name_f]Liliana[/name_f].

[EmilyMcA]
