Rethinking all my choices..I need a fresh perspective.

Girl Names
1

I am having a very diffucult time deciding on a girl’s name. I have so many names I like, just nothing I am certain of. I have found that talking to family and friends is more stressful than helpful, as many have strong opinions. So, I am turning to you, namelovers. Any opinions, suggestions, or alternatives would be so appreciated!

[name]Charlie[/name]-I have always loved this as a nickname for a girl but not so sure anymore.
[name]Giada[/name]- I come from italian background, and I love the way this name sounds, but I have a very strong sounding last name and don’t want anything too overpowering.
[name]Lila[/name]- too popular?
[name]Dylan[/name]- again always loved it for a girl, just not certain of it for my girl.
[name]Veronica[/name]- I like a few V names [name]Valerie[/name], [name]Veronica[/name], [name]Valentina[/name]
[name]Krista[/name]- I think it’s a pretty name, but it is soo dated.
[name]Giuliana[/name]- pretty, but no sentimental attachment.
[name]Shayla[/name]- love it, but a cousin just used it for her daughter.
[name]Chloe[/name]- grewing up loving this name, but again way too popular.

My favorite on your list is [name]Veronica[/name]. [name]Love[/name] those V names.

You have a lot of names on your list that I love. From your list I would also choose [name]Veronica[/name]. It’s a name I love but doesn’t get the DH approval. I also love, [name]Charlie[/name], [name]Giada[/name] (might have pronunciation issues), [name]Lila[/name], and [name]Chloe[/name] ( I also love [name]Zoe[/name]).

[name]Charlie[/name] - cute. [name]How[/name] about [name]Charlotte[/name] (nn [name]Charlie[/name])?
[name]Giada[/name] - yes, very Italian. Pretty.
[name]Lila[/name] - [name]How[/name] about [name]Lilia[/name]?
[name]Dylan[/name] - still a boys’ name for me. [name]Devon[/name] is OK for a girl.
[name]Veronica[/name] - very pretty.
[name]Krista[/name] - I have never been fond of [name]Krista[/name]/[name]Krystal[/name], & to me, they sound very '80’s.
[name]Giuliana[/name] - sounds very Italian. Pretty.
[name]Shayla[/name] - sounds v. Irish. I prefer [name]Shay[/name].
[name]Chloe[/name] - I love this name. Some less popular alternatives are [name]Cleo[/name], [name]Clio[/name], [name]Echo[/name], [name]Clotilda[/name], [name]Nolie[/name], [name]Olie[/name], [name]Lockie[/name], [name]Lilou[/name], [name]Leslie[/name], [name]Leora[/name], [name]Leah[/name], [name]Corrie[/name], [name]Cora[/name], [name]Carly[/name], [name]Cameo[/name], [name]Carol[/name], [name]Casie[/name]

I love [name]Chloe[/name] and [name]Zoe[/name]. [name]Charlie[/name] is a cute nn for [name]Charlotte[/name] and [name]Carlotta[/name].

Your styles are really all over the place. I dislike [name]Charlie[/name] as a full name because it sounds very masculine. She will be mistaken for a boy quite a bit, [name]Charlie[/name] is fine as a nickname for something more feminine like [name]Charlotte[/name], [name]Charlize[/name] or [name]Charlene[/name].

[name]Chloe[/name] is ok, just not something that jumps out at me anymore. Its very dull, cutsy and common. [name]Clio[/name] or [name]Cleo[/name] comes to mind as a fresher alternative.

[name]Lila[/name] is very pretty, sweet, sultry and lacy. It does seem to becoming slightly more common, but I wouldn’t consider it too popular just yet.

[name]Giada[/name]-I adore [name]Giada[/name], she is my favorite on your list. Not common, not weird, with a beautiful meaning to boot.

[name]Dylan[/name]-I’d definitely ditch this, its way too masculine. You might like the Welsh [name]Dilys[/name] instead.

[name]Veronica[/name]-[name]Veronica[/name] is very pretty.

[name]Krista[/name]- I find it really dated and blah, you might like [name]Christiana[/name] better.

[name]Giuliana[/name]- this is a nice Italian classic.

[name]Shayla[/name]-I am partial to this name. Its very soft and pretty.

Some of these names are really pretty, my opinions are-

[name]Charlie[/name]- [name]Just[/name] seems like a completely male name to me.
[name]Giada[/name]- Really pretty.
[name]Lila[/name]- This is my favorite one on this list, it’s so pretty. It is rather popular, but I don’t think it really has a trendy sound.
[name]Dylan[/name]- I just can’t bring myself to like these masculine sounding names for girls.
[name]Veronica[/name]- I prefer [name]Valerie[/name], but this is more quirky and less popular.
[name]Krista[/name]- I think it’s prettier then [name]Cristal[/name].
[name]Giuliana[/name]- Is even better then [name]Giada[/name].
[name]Shayla[/name]- You could go with just [name]Shea[/name], [name]Shay[/name], [name]Shaelyn[/name], or even [name]Sharon[/name].
[name]Chloe[/name]- To popular for my tastes, but it does sound very feminine and strong at the same time.
