Molly
Emily
Cassie
Jessica
Eva
Jasmine
Hannah

Which would you go for? How do they sound/ come across to you? And do you think they will suit our DD as an adult? We are name numpties and don't have a clue. Many thanks

Hannah. By a country mile. Beautiful name.

I have a (grown up) friend called Cassie and it really suits her, have never known a child called Cassie so I think its fine as a grown up name.

Never heard of a dog called Cassie either. Its hardly the girl equivalent of Rover, is it!?

Pictish, you mean you know someone with a dog called Cassie. I would never have associated Cassie with a dog. It's the most unusual one on the list and very pretty. Not sure how it would sound on an adult so best go for Cassandra as others have suggested.

I like them all but would personally avoid Molly and Eva because there are so many at baby and toddler groups locally, of course there might be fewer near you.

All very popular except Cassie, which is a dog's name.

Love Emily, Jessican, Hannah

Eva, jasmine, Molly very, very popular here....

I like Molly and Emily a lot and they are both fine for adults. For some reason find Molly less nicknamey/cutesy than Milly/Lilly/Evie etc...I wouldn't let popularity put you off..

Not keen on your other names.

I like them all except Hannah (which I am unusual in not liking!).

A couple of them are "nicknames" so I would want a proper name on the birth cert - so Cassandra nn Cassie, Mary nn Molly. That way she could use the more adult sounding name when she was older/for job purposes etc.

Molly - kitchen maid, popular few years ago
Emily - ok, a but boring
Cassie - LIKE IT, LIKE IT
Jessica - v pop recently, but also a classic
Eva - v pop again
Jasmine - too girly, there's 2 in ds1's class!
Hannah - love it

How about Miriam? I love that name too.

Molly - not keen, nicknamey and faddy
Emily - lovely, classic (do you mind popular though?)
Cassie - very pretty, but sounds nicknamey so would use Cassandra as full name or go for Cassia
Jessica - like
Eva - OK but Eve/Eva/Ava/Evie very popular
Jasmine - like
Hannah - like, classic

They all sound very 'trendy'. If I had to choose, probably Hannah.
