Daphne - Kind of hate, sorry
Serena - Like
Annora/Honora - Not a big fan but it's not too bad. Just a bit weird to me (never seen these names before)

Honora (although I'd use Honoria as per Lady Dedlock in Bleak House!)

Serena definitely first. Lovely name.

Daphne is ok.

Honora may get mispronounced and is a bit prim for me.

Annora hmmm never heard of it, suspect it would be misspelled. Looks a bit too close to Annoying for my liking. But it's pretty.

So

Serena
Annora
Daphne
Honora

I adore Daphne so that's my favourite, followed by Serena.

I'm not keen on the other two.

Serena is nice. As is Honor.

Honora is one of those ultra Catholic names like Concepta and Majella that were v popular in Ireland in the 40s and 50s. Really don't like it.

Serena is nice. Williams - legend!

Honora reminds me of an ancient religious Irish aunt (but that might be the Irish in me Grin).

Daphne is dreadful.

I LOVE Daphne! It would have been on our list but we have a friend with a Daphne and it felt weird.

We are neither Irish nor Catholic. (not that these are bad things!)
DH simply likes Honora/Annora ;)


I'm a bit surprised so many people dislike Daphne, that was actually my personal favourite. But I guess it's better to be aware of this...
I really like Serena. So, the positive replies are great :)

Serena
Daphne

Honora

Annora

I've never heard of Annora before and think it would mean a lifetime of repeating and spelling out.
