[name_f]Alessia[/name_f] - The name of my next-door-neighbour when I lived in my old house as a younger child. She would come out to play whenever I wanted, and she was always happy, so [name_f]Alessia[/name_f] calls to mind fond memories. [name_u]Love[/name_u] it!
[name_f]Alessandra[/name_f] - Beginning to like this name. Kind of ‘meh’ about it at the moment.
[name_f]Abigail[/name_f] - Never liked this name. It seems too ‘old fashioned’ to me and I don’t know why. I’ve had several friends with this name but I still dislike it.
[name_f]Annika[/name_f] - Was on my favourites list about three weeks ago. I liked the overall sound and I liked how I couldn’t really tell which culture it fit into, making it a kind of international-sounding name to me. Really like it.
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] nn [name_f]Cora[/name_f] - Meh. I don’t have any ties to [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] and I’ve never heard it used before, but I like [name_f]Cora[/name_f] and I think it’s nice.
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] - I love this name, but not enough to put it on any lists. I’ve met several Charlottes before and I feel that it’s just too common. I also hate the generic nickname [name_f]Char[/name_f], which would probably be given to her at least once. I prefer [name_f]Lottie[/name_f] as a nickname. Still adore [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] though!
[name_f]Diana[/name_f] - Nothing much to say about this name, I don’t really love it. Never been a big fan.
[name_u]Eloise[/name_u] - [name_u]Love[/name_u]! Like so with [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], I don’t love it enough to put it on any lists, but I think it’s adorable, sophisticated, and elegant. However, my mind sorts [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] into the middle name category. I think I’ve seen it used as a middle name on Nameberry a lot more than I have as a first name.
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f] - I like [name_f]Lydie[/name_f], but [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] seems ‘old-fashioned’ to me again, for some reason.
[name_f]Lyra[/name_f] - That’s too bad! I simply adore [name_f]Lyra[/name_f], especially from the name Lysandra. I think it’s cutesy, fresh and new! I really love it. If you do really love it though, I say go for it.
[name_f]Maren[/name_f] - Never heard of this one before. Reminds me a little too much of [name_m]Aaron[/name_m], which is also the name of a guy at my school who accompanies a story too long to tell. He’s a sweet guy, but for me, the resemblance is too close and reminds me too much.
[name_f]Millicent[/name_f] - A little dated, but I love [name_f]Millie[/name_f] as a nickname!
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] - I prefer the [name_m]French[/name_m] version, [name_f]Mathilde[/name_f], but I adore it nonetheless!
[name_f]Susannah[/name_f] nn [name_u]Sunny[/name_u] - Not a fan of both the full name or the nickname.
Starred ones are my Top 5 from my old list I think I finally have a list that I feel is permanent and just right.
