All for DEFINITE spelling issues:
[name_f]Kirra[/name_f]
[name_f]Mollie[/name_f]
[name_f]Leila[/name_f]
[name_f]Isobel[/name_f]

I would veto [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] , [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] and [name_f]Emma[/name_f] due to popularity

I would veto [name_f]Kirra[/name_f], [name_f]Mollie[/name_f], [name_f]Tullia[/name_f], [name_f]Leila[/name_f] for spelling/ mispronunciation. I have a name that I think is pretty easy to spell and pronounce but I have to constantly correct folks , and it can get annoying .

So that would leave
[name_f]Hallie[/name_f]
[name_f]Tillie[/name_f]
[name_f]Sienna[/name_f]
[name_f]Willa[/name_f]
[name_f]Bella[/name_f]
[name_f]Eloise[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f]
[name_f]Isobel[/name_f]
[name_f]Clementine[/name_f]
[name_f]Olive[/name_f]
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f]

Eliminating all except my favorites leaves:
[name_f]Tillie[/name_f]
[name_f]Leila[/name_f]
[name_f]Eloise[/name_f]

Ones I’d like for other people:
[name_f]Kirra[/name_f] (but prefer Keira—I assume this is pronounced like kerr-uh?)
[name_f]Mollie[/name_f]
[name_f]Sienna[/name_f] (LOVE [name_f]Siena[/name_f], neutral on Sienna)
[name_f]Willa[/name_f]
[name_f]Bella[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f]
[name_f]Olive[/name_f]
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f]

I would veto

[name_f]Tillie[/name_f] - just don’t personally care for it as a standalone name, although could be cute as a nn for [name_f]Matilda[/name_f]

[name_f]Leila[/name_f] - think it would be misspelled often

[name_f]Kirra[/name_f] - could be confused with [name_f]Keira[/name_f] / [name_f]Kiera[/name_f] & misspelled

[name_f]Kirra[/name_f] - I’d prefer [name_f]Kira[/name_f], but always prefer [name_f]Kiera[/name_f]

[name_f]Tullia[/name_f] - this may have spelling and pronunciation issues

[name_f]Hallie[/name_f], [name_f]Mollie[/name_f] & [name_f]Tillie[/name_f] seem very “nickname-y” compared to your other names, and [name_f]Sienna[/name_f] seems more modern

Spelling issues:
Kirra
Mollie
Tillie
Leila
Isobel

Pronunciation issues:
Tulia
Isobel

Popularity:
Charlotte
Amelia
Bella
Eloise (this one may not be too popular, but a lot of el- names are
Emma

So that leaves:
Hallie
Willa
Clementine
Lucy
Olive
Sienna
Felicity

i would personally veto:

charlotte (too popular)
amelia (too popular)
kirra (love the kira spelling, but not so much the double r)
tillie (just not my style, a little too cutesy)
sienna (not my style)
willa (reminds me of another word which you probably wouldn’t want to name your child, but also getting very popular lately)
olive (can’t get over it being a food)

my to choices would be:

hallie (my daughter’s middle name)
leila
lucy (my daughter is lucia, and goes by lucie and/or lucy)
emma
eloise

You have a lovely list

I would veto

[name_f]Kirra[/name_f]
[name_f]Mollie[/name_f]
[name_f]Sienna[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f]
[name_f]Tullia[/name_f]

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps

Kirra – will probably be misspelled and mistaken for similar names
Tillie – would prefer this as a nickname

I love Emma, Leila, Lucy and Felicity!

[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], [name_f]Amelia[/name_f], [name_f]Emma[/name_f] - Popularity
[name_f]Olive[/name_f] - think of the word
[name_f]Mollie[/name_f] - It’s a slang word for drug

Vetoed:

[name_f]Kirra[/name_f] - I prefer the [name_f]Kira[/name_f] spelling
[name_f]Mollie[/name_f] - I prefer the [name_f]Molly[/name_f] spelling
[name_f]Tillie[/name_f] - I prefer it as a nickname for [name_f]Matilda[/name_f]
[name_f]Sienna[/name_f] - Bad associations
[name_f]Leila[/name_f] - I prefer the [name_f]Layla[/name_f] spelling
[name_f]Willa[/name_f] - Bad associations
[name_f]Bella[/name_f] - Bad associations

Vetoes:

[name_f]Kirra[/name_f], [name_f]Tullia[/name_f], & [name_f]Leila[/name_f] for spelling issues

[name_f]Olive[/name_f] simply because it feels incomplete to me and I prefer [name_f]Olivia[/name_f]

Great names on your list! There is nothing wrong with any of the names on your list, want to preface before I add my input on my personal taste :slightly_smiling_face:

[name_f]My[/name_f] favorites:
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Hallie[/name_f]
[name_f]Emma[/name_f]
[name_f]Olive[/name_f]
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f]
[name_f]Eloise[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f]

Prefer a different spelling:
[name_f]Kirra[/name_f] (LOVE [name_f]Keira[/name_f] and [name_f]Kira[/name_f] :heart:)
[name_f]Mollie[/name_f] (prefer Molly)
[name_f]Isobel[/name_f] (prefer [name_f]Isabel[/name_f] or Isabelle)

Not for me:
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]
[name_f]Sienna[/name_f]
[name_f]Leila[/name_f]
[name_f]Bella[/name_f]
[name_f]Tullia[/name_f]

Veto:

Kirra/Tullia- not sure what these are supposed to be but definitely spelling/pronunciation issues
[name_f]Tillie[/name_f]- fine nickname but don’t like it as a given name.

Otherwise- great list!

[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] - too popular for my taste and I just don’t care for it
[name_f]Hallie[/name_f] - bad personal association
[name_f]Kirra[/name_f] - not a fan of the spelling & personal association
[name_f]Sienna[/name_f] - really bad personal association
[name_f]Leila[/name_f] - just not a fan. it sounds too uptight to me
[name_f]Bella[/name_f] - bad association again lol. i do love belle though or isabella
[name_f]Emma[/name_f] - too popular for me
[name_f]Tullia[/name_f] - i think there would be pronunciation issues


that leaves…

charlotte
mollie
tillie
willa
lucy
isobel
clementine
olive
eloise
felicity

bolded my favorites

I’d veto:

[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] -i’ve met so, so many

[name_f]Kirra[/name_f] - different to the other names on your list, unsure of pn

[name_f]Emma[/name_f] - I’m afraid i find it blah

I’d veto:
[name_f]Bella[/name_f] - I know so many and also find it a bit of a dog name
[name_f]Kirra[/name_f] - Anticipate lots of spelling and prononciation issues here
[name_f]Sienna[/name_f] - This is just personal taste but I don’t like [name_f]Sienna[/name_f] or [name_u]Sierra[/name_u]. Both feel quite 90s to me

[name_f]Emma[/name_f] and [name_f]Bella[/name_f] - overused

[name_f]Tillie[/name_f] - not my taste, I think because I read a book with a chicken called tilly and now I associate it with chickens
[name_f]Willa[/name_f] - not my taste, is sort of difficult/awkward to say/pronounce in my opinion?
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f] - just isn’t that pretty in my personal opinion
[name_f]Olive[/name_f] - it’s a food and not a good one so even though it sounds/looks nice I feel like that takes away from it as a name
