[name_m]Don[/name_m]'t know the show, but I’ll happily rate the names!

I love [name_u]Piper[/name_u]! She’s sweet and spunky at the same time:)

[name_f]Claudette[/name_f] feels old fashioned and plain to me, however I quite like [name_f]Claudia[/name_f].

I’ve not heard of [name_f]Galina[/name_f] before, and it doesn’t do anything for me. It feels made up but also old fashioned. It also reminds me of [name_f]Glinda[/name_f]/Galinda from the musical Wicked.

[name_f]Suzanne[/name_f] is okay, but a bit plain. I’d prefer [name_f]Susannah[/name_f].

Same with [name_f]Nicole[/name_f] - plain and simple.

I’ve never liked [name_f]Tiffany[/name_f], I’m not sure why.

[name_f]Dayanara[/name_f] also feels made up and a bit unnecessary.

Despite feeling a little old fashioned, I actually don’t mind [name_f]Lorna[/name_f]. It has pretty and modern sounds.

I really dislike [name_f]Gloria[/name_f]. It’s outdated and just doesn’t sound nice.

[name_f]Marisol[/name_f] is so pretty! I have lovely imagery for [name_f]Marisol[/name_f] :slight_smile:

I’m not sure how Aleida is supposed to be pronounced, but I’m saying al-eyy-duh. It’s pretty and I like it, but would perhaps prefer it spelt Aleyda.

[name_f]Maria[/name_f] is very plain.

Really don’t like [name_f]Freida[/name_f].

[name_u]Piper[/name_u] is the best name by far out of the lot, and the only one I actually like. I’d give it an 8/10. The rest I would rank as follows:

[name_f]Marisol[/name_f] 6/10, pretty meaning and unique
[name_f]Maria[/name_f] 5/10, plain but classic
[name_f]Suzanne[/name_f] 5/10, plain but has a spunky z
[name_f]Gloria[/name_f] 5/10, plain but melodic
Aleida 4/10, could be interesting, but difficult to spell and not that nice to say
[name_f]Freida[/name_f] 4/10, not too bad, there are other prettier versions of this name though
[name_f]Claudette[/name_f] 4/10, [name_f]Claudia[/name_f] is better, this is a rare instance where I don’t like “ette”
[name_f]Nicole[/name_f] 4/10, out of date, very 90s/80s
[name_f]Galina[/name_f] 3/10, strange, and I don’t like the “g” at the front. The “lina” is nice thought.
[name_f]Tiffany[/name_f] 3/10, see [name_f]Nicole[/name_f], but worse because of stereotypes
[name_f]Dayanara[/name_f] 1/10, has a pretty end sound, but strange and otherwise not that attractive
[name_f]Lorna[/name_f] 0/10, [name_f]Lorna[/name_f] [name_u]Doone[/name_u] cookies, plus “lorn” is such an unattractive sound, like you’re swallowing your tongue

Feeling personally attacked by all this [name_f]Nicole[/name_f] hate lol jk.

As someone born with “[name_f]Brittany[/name_f]” I super feel you, any time that name is brought up it gets torn to shreds. There even use to be some snarky “don’t name your daughter this” one-liner on the nameberry official page for it, too. :weary:

[name_u]Piper[/name_u] - I love [name_u]Piper[/name_u]! It’s so pretty. This is my favorite on your list :slight_smile:

[name_f]Claudette[/name_f] - I like the sound and look of this.

[name_f]Galina[/name_f] - not my favorite, sorry :frowning: as one of the previous posters said, it reminds me of the similarly-named character from Wicked. I like the sound, though.

[name_f]Suzanne[/name_f] - [name_f]Suzanne[/name_f] feels a bit dated to me, though I like the look of it.

[name_f]Nicole[/name_f] - I actually really like [name_f]Nicole[/name_f] :stuck_out_tongue: it has a pretty sound.

[name_f]Tiffany[/name_f] - [name_f]Tiffany[/name_f] has been growing on me lately!

[name_f]Dayanara[/name_f] - Not sure how to exactly pronounce this, but it looks pretty.

[name_f]Lorna[/name_f] - Again, seems a bit dated, though I think it could work.

[name_f]Gloria[/name_f] - I love the way this sounds!

[name_f]Marisol[/name_f] - I love this name, though it reminds me of something… a brand name, maybe? I can’t think of it, lol :stuck_out_tongue:

Aleida - Gorgeous!

[name_f]Maria[/name_f] - Can’t go wrong this this one!

[name_f]Freida[/name_f]- Pretty, I like it!

@geep is it a parasol? Or pine-sol? haha.

I never watched the show so totally unbiased opinions here :slight_smile:

[name_u]Piper[/name_u] - 5/10 - cute name, kind of spunky feel from it
[name_f]Claudette[/name_f] - 3/10 - kind of a mouthful and a little awkward to say
[name_f]Galina[/name_f] - 1/10 - I don’t like the [name_u]Gal[/name_u] part of it
[name_f]Suzanne[/name_f] - 5/10 - little plain
[name_f]Nicole[/name_f] - 5/10 - plain, common name
[name_f]Tiffany[/name_f] - 8/10 - common, but still a pretty name and sounds nice
[name_f]Dayanara[/name_f] - 1/10 - awkward pronounciation
[name_f]Lorna[/name_f] - 3/10 - a little awkward again on the -orn part
[name_f]Gloria[/name_f] - 6/10 - pretty, but don’t love it as much as [name_f]Tiffany[/name_f]
[name_f]Marisol[/name_f] - 4/10 - sounds kind of like a product like aerosol, sorry lol
Aleida - 7/10 - pretty, I like the -leida part
[name_f]Maria[/name_f] - 5/10 - pretty, but very common name
[name_f]Freida[/name_f] - 7/10 - I would use [name_f]Freya[/name_f] instead, but it’s not a bad name

[name_u]Piper[/name_u]- I love [name_u]Piper[/name_u], it’s always on and off of my girl’s list. I have met two people named [name_u]Piper[/name_u], and I loved it on both of them. It’s a fantastic mix of spunky but not too out there.
[name_f]Claudette[/name_f]- Not something I would choose, but I could understand the appeal.
[name_f]Galina[/name_f]- Could be a way to get to nn [name_f]Lina[/name_f], which I’m a fan of, but I can’t say I like [name_f]Galina[/name_f] at all.
[name_f]Suzanne[/name_f]- Out of date
[name_f]Nicole[/name_f]- Out of date
[name_f]Tiffany[/name_f]- A guilty pleasure of mine, most would say this one is out of date too, but my first thought is always Breakfast at [name_f]Tiffany[/name_f]'s.
[name_f]Dayanara[/name_f]- I don’t like this one, it reminds me of “sayonara”.
[name_f]Lorna[/name_f]- Not fond of this one either, all I think of is [name_f]Lorna[/name_f] [name_u]Doone[/name_u] cookies.
[name_f]Gloria[/name_f]- Pretty, but doesn’t have much character.
[name_f]Marisol[/name_f]- Certainly one of my favorites on this list, the sound and look of the name are very pleasant.
Aleida- Not sure how you would go about pronouncing this one…
[name_f]Maria[/name_f]- I love [name_f]Maria[/name_f], it’s classic and inoffensive.
[name_f]Freida[/name_f]- Not a fan…[name_f]Frieda[/name_f], [name_f]Freda[/name_f], and [name_f]Freya[/name_f] are much better.
