Alice - good name but ‘overused’ ? 4
Lucia -no 1 along with Lydia I like this a lot.
Scarlett - joint 6
Helena - no 2 some pronunciations issues may be a pita?
Tansy - bit ‘wet’ ? Not a strong name. Joint 6
Thea - joint 6 although I’m a bit mixed about this ranking.
Congrats and good luck op.

Alice 10 - love. Timeless classic.
Scarlett 9.5 - lovely. Suits all ages. Pretty but cool. Not too popular.
Roseanna 7.5- lovely. I'd use nn Anna- which I love.
Helena 6.5 - Pronunciation issues. Lane-a or len-a. Otherwise nice.
Cicely 6- Ok. Different although rising in popularity I think.
Thea 4 - a bit of a nothing name to me. More a sound. A bit faddy at the mo.
Lucia 3 - No
Tansy 1- Definitely No.

[Posieandpip]

Cicely - I like it but prefer Cecily
Rosanna - pretty
Alice - pretty
Lucia - i like it pronounced Loo-see-uh which i know is incorrect. Don't like loo-chee-uh
Scarlett - pretty and fiesty
Helena - i like nn Nell
Tansy - prerry and rare
Thea

[Posieandpip]

Oops! Forgot Thea. Which I used to love but agree with a pp that now its so popular it does seem a bit... Insubstantial. It's one of those names that would be gorgeous if rare but loses its charm when so popular.

[Posieandpip]

I'd choose Alice or Tansy

[Posieandpip]

Or Scarlett!

[emmathedilemma]

Alice is streaks ahead of the others for me.
Scarlett and Thea are both ok but seem quite popular.
Cicely - do you mean Cecily??
The others I don't like at all.

[TatianaBis]

Cicely and Rosanna.

Don't like the others.

[Awwlookatmybabyspider]

Love.
Tansy
Thea
Helena.

Neither like nor dislike
Alice
Rosanna.
Lucia

Despise
Scarlett

[Awwlookatmybabyspider]

Also love Cicely

[Lanique]

Of those I would only pick Helena (my middle name!) or Alice.

[Chilldonaldchill]

Cicely - I love Cecily but not quite as keen on Cicely. It might grow on me if I knew one though
Rosanna - I'm not keen
Alice - nice, safe, predictable but pretty
Lucia - I really like this but the pronunciation issues would definitely put me off
Scarlett - it's ok. I prefer it with one t.
Helena - lovely
Tansy - not at all keen
Thea - absolutely love this.

I would go for Thea, Helena or Cicely.

[KirstenBlest]

Cicely - nice but will get spelt Cecily which is too Cecil-y for my liking
Rosanna - nice
Alice - would use it
Lucia - Loosha, Loo-see-a or Lootcha?
Scarlett - ok
Helena - prefer Helen
Tansy - ok
Thea - don't liike

Alice, Cicely or Rosanna

[DramaAlpaca]

Cicely - like a lot, but will get muddled with the even nicer Cecily
Rosanna - gorgeous, my favourite 'rose' name
Alice - love it, classic and simple
Lucia - OK, but prefer Lucy
Scarlett - not as classy as the above
Helena - nice, but has three possible pronunciations
Tansy - a sweet nickname, but too twee for a name in its own right. It also just autocorrected to Randy on my tablet
Thea - no, it's a horrid, nothingy, lispy name.

[Raindropumbrella]

Cicely- -5/10
Rosanna 8/10
Alice. 4/10
Lucia. -1/10
Scarlett. 3/10
Helena. 7/10
Tansy. 8/10
Thea. 2/10

[Mugsen]

I like Tansy and Lucia best. Cicely is an awful mouthful. Not keen on Thea because I knew a horrible one. Alice, Scarlett and Roseanna are nice enough though.

[RestingStitchFace]

Alice
Helena
Cicely
Rosanna
Lucia
Scarlett
Tansy
Thea

[Biscuitsneeded]

Helena
Thea
Rosanna
Alice
Lucia
Cicely
Tansy
Scarlett

I prefer unfussy, more traditional names. Love Helena .

[Twelve8Ts]

I love Cicely, was on my list. Cicely Hamilton was a feminist and suffragist and I fell in love with this name when I saw it.

Lucia second favorite.

[shreddednips]

Lucia and Helena are my favourites, beautiful names!

The rest I quite like as well apart from Tansy, Scarlett, and Alice, which I'm really not keen on.

Scarlett

Lucia

[olidora63]

Helena or Thea

[partyatthepalace]

1. Helena - elegant, great history, minor irritation over varied pronunciation but can’t really go wrong
   
2. Rosanna - lovely but blurs with all the other Rose names
   
3. Lucia - not mad about it but it has spirit
   
4. Alice - a charming classic but way overused
   

1. Scarlett - I half like it but it’s gone downmarket
   
2. Thea - meh
   
3. Cicely - no - lipsy - but I would put Cecily of Cecilia at number 1
   
4. Tansy - no, wetter than Poppy and Lily, which is saying something.
