cousinal's baby name shortlist

[cousinal]

Here's the shortlist of baby names I'm considering that I generated with Mumsnet's Baby Name Finder. Let me know what you think.

Girls
Alexa
Emma
Lara
Stella
Tess

[onimolap]

Alexa - fine
Emma - lovely
Lara - fine
Stella - makes me think of the lager
Tess - as a nn for Theresa, lovely

[QuestionNumber]

If you're looking for something that people won't say "what's that short for?" then I'd go for Emma. Also like Lara and Tess.

Alexa - not keen, prefer Alexandra
Emma - lovely
Lara - like, as nickname for Larissa
Stella - like although prefer Estella
Tess - very nice, would use as nickname for Teresa.

[BelligerentGhoul]

I like Emma and Tess. Dislike Alexa.

[Ruthie32]

I have a family friend called Alexa and think it's really pretty, plus you hardly ever some across the name
I'm not keen on Stella but like the others

[Tical]

I love Tess and Stella.

[cece]

I like them all but if I had to chose I would go for either

Tess or Lara.

I prefer Alexia to Alexa

[mathanxiety]

They're all really nice. I'd rank them as follows:

Lara
Tess
Stella
Emma
Alexa. like Alix better than Alexa.

[hester]

I like Stella and Tess.

[MelinaM]

Alexa - Miss Chung immediately springs to mind!
Emma - Nice name, but a little plain perhaps?
Lara - Love this!
Stella - No, this belongs to the larger brand.
Tess - Love this too!

I love Lara and Tess x

[TiggieWiggle]

[Italiangreyhound]

Alexa - not my favourite
Emma - good
Lara - lovely
Stella - not for me
Tess - lovely

[dubaipieeye]

I love Tess, but prefer Tessa. Lyra is also nice as an alternative to Lara.

[AnnOnimous]

Alexa - I always think this sounds quite a hard, clunky name. There are nicer female versions.
Emma - perfectly pleasant, bit forgettable.
Lara - hate it, sorry.
Stella - hate it, sorry.
Tess- the nicest of them all.
