I don’t think any of them are popular (common) but I know one Zoe age 11, one Phoene age 4 and one Daphne age 8.
I like all of them except the last three.
Phoebe, Hazel and Zoe are my top 3.

TatianaBis · 19/06/2021 13:44

Love Imogen, Phoebe, Iris.

Like Jasmine, Serena

Ditch Erin, Rhiannon and Coral.

QuestioningEverything2 · 19/06/2021 13:48

Erin - don't like, quite popular
Jasmine - ok, I know more older kids/teens than babies
Hazel - like but growing more popular
Imogen - like but quite popular
Daphne - Just no
Zoe - like know more older children than babies
Phoebe - like quite popular
Serena - don't like, not popular
Iris - don't like, not popular
Rhiannon - like, not popular
Coral - don't like, getting more popular

I'm in east of England if that helps

Erin- love, I know a couple around age 8-9.

Jasmine - ok know 1

Hazel - ok not popular the only one I know is in her 60s.
Imogen - love but I’m biased as it’s dd name she is now a teen. When we chose it it wasn’t even in the top 50 but must have been popular in our area as she was 1 of 3 in her year.

Daphne- ok but makes me think of scooby Doo. Don’t know any.

Zoe - ok know several various ages.

Phoebe - like, reminds me of Friends.

Serena - ok know 1 who is a teen.

Iris - no and probably quite popular.

Rhiannon - don’t like.

Coral - Reef.

Polecat03 · 19/06/2021 14:00

I like Hazel, Zoe and Phoebe most. Jasmine and Serena are nice too.

AnyaMoondial · 19/06/2021 14:03

Love Hazel and Iris.

ozzyfroggy · 19/06/2021 14:06

Your list is a bit long! I'd try to narrow it down to four and then swap one out if a new name takes your fancy.

Personally I like Erin, Jasmine, Rhiannon and Iris from your list. Strong but feminine.

Comedycook · 19/06/2021 14:15

Erin dull and ugly sounding to me
Jasmine nice
Hazel dull
Imogen clunky
Daphne lovely
Zoe fine
Phoebe fine
Serena beautiful, my favourite from your list
Iris gorgeous
Rhiannon ok, a bit dull
Coral gorgeous

Chilldonaldchill · 19/06/2021 14:18

Erin - not too keen, I barely know any so doesn't feel popular round here
Jasmine - I don't like this personally because I really dislike Jazz as a nn. Again I don't see it as particularly popular
Hazel - pretty but just reminds me of the rabbit
Imogen - really really lovely. I know two aged 10 and 13.
Daphne - I feel like this might increase in popularity. I like it though.
Zoe - I really like this. I know a few - aged between 12 and 25
Phoebe - I don't like this at all - reminds me of "feeble" - out of all your names this feels the most popular though
Serena - ok.
Iris - very lovely. I know several between 10 and 20
Rhiannon - don't like
Coral - ok. I prefer Cora.

My favourites are Iris, Zoe and Imogen.

Somethingvague · 19/06/2021 14:19

I really like most of these. Several were on my own list for my daughter. I particularly like:

Erin
Jasmine
Imogen
Iris
Coral (or Coralie)

Phoebe is the only one I'd say is popular. Have you thought about Wren or Autumn?

lemonsyellow · 19/06/2021 14:32

Ones I like most:
Daphne
Zoe
Iris
Serena
Phoebe

Middling: Jasmine

Worst names:
Erin
Hazel
Imogen
Rhiannon
Coral

ProcrastinationStation3 · 19/06/2021 14:35

I don't like Daphne - too close to daphnia for me.
Or Phoebe - can't really tell you why, just something about the way it sounds makes my skin crawl.

Other than that all lovely names!

Domoresteps · 19/06/2021 14:38

I like Imogen best. I know a toddler Imogen.

Erin is ok.

Not keen on the others sorry and Daphne is the worst.

The4ks · 19/06/2021 14:42

You have my 3 favourite names on your list!
Erin, Hazel and Iris. All lovely and none common in my area.
I like all your other names too actually, great taste!

SionnachRua · 19/06/2021 14:42

Erin - leave to the Americans pretending to be Irish
Jasmine - pretty
Hazel - nice
Imogen - whiny sounding imo
Daphne - too 'fluffy' and weak for me
Zoe - ok.
Phoebe - nicer written down than it is said aloud.
Serena - gorgeous
Iris - makes me think of eyeballs
Rhiannon - lovely
Coral - lovely

Personally I'd narrow it down to Rhiannon, Coral, Serena, Jasmine and Hazel.

CheeseIsATypeOfMeat · 19/06/2021 14:42

Imogen and Phoebe are extremely common where we are. I know a lot. But they still great names.

Jasmine is lovely. And I really like Erin.

Rhiannon and coral are a no from me.

Daphne is OK but a bit clumsy on the tounge I think.

Oh and Hazel and Iris are great too.

DotDotDotDotDot · 19/06/2021 16:22

Favourites are Iris, Hazel and Phoebe - all gorgeous. Dislike Rhiannon - seems a bit dated to me. Also not keen on Coral - bookies at the end of my road. None strike me as being massively popular. Good luck.

KobaniDaughters · 19/06/2021 16:26

Phoebe, Imogen and Iris are my favourites

Posieandpip · 19/06/2021 18:56

Imogen, Iris or Hazel 💜

Cotswoldmama · 19/06/2021 19:06

I like Erin, Hazel and Iris

SnottyLottie · 19/06/2021 19:11

Erin - strong and no nonsense (7)
Jasmine - a close friend named her daughter this, I don’t mind it but it feels a little dated (I know a lot of Jasmines born in the 90s) (6)
Hazel - really fresh and wholesome, I know one Hazel in her 30s and she is lovely (8)
Imogen - so elegant (8)
Daphne - really sweet but maybe doesn’t age well? Also a little similar to Daffy (as in Duck) (7)
Zoe - classic but a little meh (6)
Phoebe - I love this name but it is crazy popular right now so it depends if you mind it being a common name (7)
Serena - beautiful, elegant and has strong bad ass connotations (8)
Iris - it’s one of those funny old lady names that seem to be coming back into style. It seems really cute on a baby or an 80 year old but cannot envision it on a teenager/young adult (6.5)
Rhiannon - not my style but admire it is very strong (6)
Coral - i see it as a more of a fish’s name (3)

duckoutofwater · 19/06/2021 19:19

Biased as we have a DD Iris who's 5 MTHS, she's the only one I know, apart from one I knew at school who must be about 30 now.

Also love Hazel and Erin, they were on our shortlist, don't know any of either.

pilates · 19/06/2021 19:21

Imogen is my favourite
Jasmine ok not keen on the rest

TenBobNote · 19/06/2021 19:24

Erin is lovely and not popular where I live.

Rhiannon is popular here with all ages, but timeless. I love the name Rhiannon (Not only because it’s my GDs name). It’s probably not popular outside of Wales.

user1493494961 · 19/06/2021 22:04

I like Imogen, Phoebe and Rhiannon. Dislike Daphne and Coral.
