[ReginaTheVelociraptor]

I love Willow, Isla and Talia.

[ReginaTheVelociraptor]

Actually truly love Orla too. You have fantastic choice in names.

[UntilTheCowsComeHome]

Not keen on Aurelia or Aurora, just because they're a bit of a mouthful really.

Not sure about Talia although I do know one who is 6 now.

Orla, Willow and Isla are lovely but Isla is getting quite popular if you wanted a more unusual name.

[WanderingTrolley1]

The best out of a bad bunch would be Isla, I guess.

[Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost]

All gorgeous with the executive of Aurelia
and Orla.
I think at a push though I'd go for Talia, but pronounced Talia not Talia.

[KimmySchmidtsSmile]

Well, blow me, I like them all. Also Freya and Shona and Shana.
In order...

1. Aurélia
   
2. Talia
   
3. Isla
   
4. Orla
   
5. Aurora
   
6. Willow

[NoncommittalToSparkleMotion]

Orla or Aurora! All great though.

[Joinourclub]

I like Orla, Willow and Isla. Aurelia and Aurora are a bit much, and always remind me of Areola!

[MyCatWasRightAboutYou]

I like Isla and Talia. Talia more.
Aurelia reminds me of something to do with ear disease. (Sorry! )

[Hariasa]

Orla or Isla.

[Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost]

Exception not executive. FFS. Will autocorrect never learn to keep its beak out.

[julfin]

All lovely names. But I would steer clear of Isla if you don't want her to be one of half a dozen in her class.

In order:
Aurelia
Aurora
Orla
Talia
Willow
Isla

Would you use one of these for a middle name too, or do you have a different mn planned?

[lemonpoppyseed]

I'm going to throw Willa into the mix too :) I met one at the park earlier this week...

[Just5minswithDacre]

Talia, Willow and Isla are the nicest of those; beautiful but not too frilly.

[MumOnACornishFarm]

Some pretty choices here. But Aurora makes me think of a disney princess and Willow makes me think of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, sorry.
Isla is lovely but becoming super popular, I think. What about Iona?
Orla
Isla
Aurelia
Talia
Willow
Aurora

[ABitAsleep]

Talia! Love it! Much nicer and less used than some of the others!

[LadyAntonella]

Some lovely names op!

Aurelia - I am one of the few MNetters who doesn't like this name/. I know one and I find it a mouthful; it really doesn't flow well or trip of the (my) tongue.

Orla - really like. It's short, easy to spell and pretty without sounding 'made up' or overused.

Talia - really love this. Think it's my favourite of your list.

Willow - really like this.

Isla - Nice but is quite popular (especially in Scotland). Depends whether that bothers you.

Aurora - love this (actually this might be my favourite) and love the nn Rory.

[waxweasel]

I like Talia most. It was on my shortlist.

Next would be Isla but is too popular for me to choose, followed by Aurelia.

Willow feels a bit faddy and now. But I agree it's a nice sound and has good NN potential.

Really don't like Aurora, I think because it feels a bit frilly, incomplete and lightweight with the lack of hard consonant sounds. I also think it's a bit tricky to say. I dislike Orla too because it feels a bit incomplete, and also makes me think of whales. Maybe because the Italian for whale is orca.

[Mrspopper]

Orla.... Lovely lovely lovely.
I like Isla but it is super popular if that is something that bothers you.

[needtomovesomewherewarmer]

Thanks for everyones comments . I really love Aurelia and have for years but the comments about it being a mouthful and incorrectly pronounced are my thoughts also. And dh isn't sold on it.

Isla dh and I both agree on and like a lot, but we also don't like it's popularity - possibly enough to veto it.

So a potentially shorter list is Orla , Talia (Dh prefers Talitha) or Willow (this is dh's least fav).

No fixed name for middle yet. If it works i'd like to use Jean after my nan. I thought for example Jean work work well with Isla - Isla Jean ........???

[WaitroseCoffeeCostaCup]

Aurelia is utterly beautiful. One thousand Willows, Orlas and Islas here!

[PippaFawcett]

Orla!

[needtomovesomewherewarmer]

Waitrose really?? We have a few Islas around here but I have only met one Orla (an older work colleague some years ago from somewhere else in Europe) and not a single Willow....

[needtomovesomewherewarmer]

Aghh i do love Aurelia though . And the nn options. dh will never agree i don't think!!

[Floralnomad]

I think Talia and Talitha both work OK with Jean - willow does not .
