Tell me what you think! Thank you!
[name]Love[/name] the country, but not as a first name (I find it tacky tbh)
I love [name]Sutton[/name] for a boy, but I wouldn’t mind it as a unisex option either
I love [name]Calla[/name], its really an underused gem
[name]Cosette[/name] is too [name]Les[/name] Mis for me and I’ve never loved the sound anyway
[name]Anja[/name] is lush but simple, another gem
[name]Marlowe[/name] is cool and spunky but it seems very “2010s” to me
[name]Elodie[/name] is lovely
[name]Ireland[/name] isn’t a place name that I love, and being so close to [name]Ireland[/name], I don’t find it that usable.
[name]Calla[/name] is too nicknamey for me.
[name]Marlowe[/name], [name]Anja[/name] and [name]Cosette[/name] aren’t my style and I don’t think they look very nice.
[name]Sutton[/name] is a massive GP for me, although I would never use it.
[name]Elodie[/name] is by far my favourite on the list, so beautiful.
[name]Ireland[/name] - defs a GP name for me. Not sure if I’d use it in the FN spot though, given the potential confusion with the word Island. I say them differently, but a lot of people wouldn’t [name]IMO[/name]
[name]Sutton[/name] - I only know this as a surname. For a boy, maybe.
[name]Calla[/name] - so sweet. I really like it! In reality, its probably a little nicknamey for my tastes but I love its floral connection
[name]Cosette[/name] - NMS
[name]Anja[/name] - it’s nice enough.
[name]Marlowe[/name] - I only know dogs named this so hard for me to see on a girl. [name]Amalia[/name]?
[name]Elodie[/name] -very sweet. I like this name a lot.
[name]Ireland[/name] - I’m not big on place/country/city names. In theory I love the idea because of the imagery of [name]Ireland[/name], but I would probably choose a great Gaelic name that would evoke that same sense of wonder, green and majestic history. I like [name]Mave[/name]/[name]Maeve[/name] or [name]Neve[/name]/Niahm.
[name]Sutton[/name] - This reminds me of soot and chimney sweepers and Chim-chimeries.
[name]Calla[/name] - [name]One[/name] of my favorite nature names lately. [name]Just[/name] please don’t pair it with [name]Lily[/name].
[name]Cosette[/name] - I don’t know why but this name makes me giggle. Seriously I’ve spent some time thinking about it and it feels silly. But not in a bad way. [name]Just[/name] you know… it makes me giggle.
[name]Anja[/name] - nms. It’s just one of those names I have never really understood or liked.
[name]Marlowe[/name] - Makes me think of [name]Christopher[/name] [name]Marlowe[/name]. A great person to name your child after. However, it’s one of those names I really want to like but there is something about the spelling that bothers me.
[name]Elodie[/name] - I love [name]Elodie[/name]. I think [name]Elodie[/name] would do really well with a great Gaelic mn. [name]Elodie[/name] Niahm/[name]Neve[/name] for example.
[name]Ireland[/name]- place names are subjective…doesn’t have any meaning to me so I would never use it, but if it does for you it would be great as a fn or mn
[name]Sutton[/name]- Looks too similar to glutton
[name]Calla[/name]- feminine, vintage, [name]LOVE[/name] it!!
[name]Cosette[/name]- posh & sophisticated… like as a mn … I don’t have a great accent to do it justice
[name]Anja[/name]- cute!
[name]Marlowe[/name]- nms
[name]Elodie[/name]- [name]LOVE[/name] . Wdyt of elodie calla?
[name]Ireland[/name]- While I like place names, this one isn’t for me.
[name]Sutton[/name]- I like it.
[name]Calla[/name]- [name]Love[/name]! Definitely my favorite from the list.
[name]Cosette[/name]- Really like! The meaning is cute too.
[name]Anja[/name]- Gorgeous.
[name]Marlowe[/name]- Isn’t my favorite, I like it more for a middle.
[name]Elodie[/name]- Also love!
The first two I don’t care for, but I love the other ones!
[name]Ireland[/name]- Easily my least favorite name on the list. I think it’s just strange and silly, and chances are quite high that an American (I’m guessing that’s where you are, maybe not) child will at some point either travel to [name]Ireland[/name] or come in contact with an Irish person, and that would just be bizarre.
[name]Sutton[/name]- I don’t care for the sound at all. The swallowed T’s are really unappealing to me.
[name]Calla[/name]- I love [name]Calla[/name]! I think it’s so underused, and it’s got a really appealing sound.
[name]Cosette[/name]- I get the appeal, but it’s just waaaay too les mis for me. Plus [name]Victor[/name] [name]Hugo[/name] just made it up, so it’s not really that much different etymologically than [name]Katniss[/name] or any other invented name. I think [name]Colette[/name] is a great alternative.
[name]Anja[/name]- Very pretty! I think [name]Anya[/name] is a bit easier to work with, though.
[name]Marlowe[/name]- I love this name, although I prefer the [name]Marlo[/name] spelling. [name]Marlowe[/name] does have some literary heft thanks to [name]Christopher[/name], but I think that, like [name]Anja[/name], it’s kind of complicated for everyday use. I might consider [name]Marlowe[/name] for a middle, but for a first I’d spell it [name]Marlo[/name].
[name]Elodie[/name]- I love [name]Elodie[/name] and I have for a long time, but I’ve wondered lately if it might be confused with [name]Eloise[/name], [name]Melody[/name], and similar names. Still a great option, though.
I love [name]Marlow[/name] and [name]Elodie[/name]!!
[name]Ireland[/name] - not sure why this one gets so much hate on NB but I think it is adorable
[name]Sutton[/name] - [name]Love[/name] this for a girl in such a gp way
[name]Calla[/name] - its ok but it lacks something for me
[name]Cosette[/name] - this has always reminded me of casette I much prefer [name]Colette[/name]
[name]Anja[/name] - I prefer the [name]Anya[/name] spelling but I love both 
[name]Marlowe[/name] - [name]Harlow[/name] would be better…
[name]Elodie[/name] - cute
[name]Ireland[/name]- Quite like it but, depending on where you live/ visit it will be pronounced differently. For example in in Australia you wouldn’t hear the R sound, so it would be pronounced like ‘island’. Not sure if that is a factor for you (it is for me though because I am Australian and my fiance is American)
[name]Sutton[/name]- sorry, I do not understand the appeal of this name. Makes me think of mutton
[name]Calla[/name]- its ok, but I don’t think it has a lot of impact
[name]Cosette[/name]- very nice! plus [name]Les[/name] Miserables is a favourite for me!
[name]Anja[/name]- no opinion really…i don’t love it
[name]Marlowe[/name] Like the sound, but prefer for a boy actually
[name]Elodie[/name]- great name
Can I suggest:
Eponine
[name]Amelie[/name]
[name]Aubrey[/name]
[name]Ireland[/name]: My fave ATM!
[name]Sutton[/name]: Only on a boy, sorry.
[name]Calla[/name]: It’s cute, but I prefer [name]Calais[/name].
[name]Cosette[/name]: As @dillonsfan01 said, It reminds me of casette. I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Colette[/name] though.
[name]Anja[/name]: Very lovely.
[name]Marlowe[/name]: It’s cute, and I love the nickname [name]Marley[/name].
[name]Elodie[/name]: Cute as a button!!
~[name]Jasmine[/name]
[name]Ireland[/name]- too placey.
[name]Sutton[/name]- too boyish
[name]Calla[/name]- I like it. It reminds me of the cartoon Gummy Bears, [name]Princess[/name] [name]Calla[/name] made friends with [name]Sunny[/name].
[name]Cosette[/name]- I loved it since I watched [name]Les[/name] Miserables in high school. With the new movie coming out I wouldn’t be surprised if [name]Cosette[/name]'s popularity rises. however the French think it is a childish and trashy name. Or so I’ve heard.
[name]Anja[/name] Gorgeous, I think it is the best on your list.
[name]Marlowe[/name]- too puppish
[name]Elodie[/name]- I don’t understand the appeal. I prefer [name]Melody[/name]. It sounds more complete.
[name]Calla[/name] and [name]Elodie[/name] are easily my favourites- underused gems with great history, meaning, and connotations.
[name]Marlowe[/name], [name]Anja[/name], and [name]Cosette[/name] are also appealing. [name]Marlowe[/name] seems like one of the few truly androgynous names out there- rarely used as a first name, with the masculine namesakes balanced by the feminine sounds of [name]Marla[/name]/[name]Marlene[/name]/[name]Marilyn[/name]/[name]Margo[/name]. I like it. [name]Anja[/name] is a classic name- definitely can’t go wrong there. [name]Cosette[/name] is also all right, though the association with [name]Les[/name] Mis will be immediate for a long time to come, since the -ette names are not quite back in fashion and with the huge movie coming out next month (if [name]Colette[/name], [name]Babette[/name], [name]Georgette[/name], et al come back in style in a decade or two, I can see the connection to [name]Hugo[/name] lessening). [name]Josette[/name] is another option in a similar vein without the [name]Les[/name] Mis issue.
