I am a [name]Rose[/name], so there goes my vote. It’s a lovely first name that feels special and timeless.
I actually really love [name]Maeve[/name]! It has sort of a fairylike feel, but it’s also down to earth - spritely and fun, but mature and sensible. It fits equally well on both a teeny baby and a grown woman. I love it!
As for the others…
[name]Lucy[/name] - I like [name]Lucy[/name], but it feels like an eternally little-girl name to me (or goofy and comedic, as in I [name]Love[/name] [name]Lucy[/name]). I guess if you used it as a nickname for [name]Lucinda[/name], it could be a childhood name she could phase out as she gets older (if she wants to).
[name]Lucinda[/name] - This name has always felt kind of bratty/arrogant to me, for some reason. Not sure why! I’m sure that’s just my weird take on it. I can’t imagine it on a newborn.
[name]Rose[/name] - Pretty, classic, timeless. Not used often enough as a first name!
[name]Eve[/name] - I like this one too.
[name]Lyra[/name] - Makes me think of Lysol…sorry, I just don’t like this one.
[name]Lilia[/name] - Feels like a nickname to me. Not my favorite.
[name]Charlotte[/name] - A pretty, vintage name, and I like it, but it’s definitely becoming popular, if that is something that matters to you.
Wow, I just realized I don’t like L names.
