Ariana only if you don't mind people assuming it's after Ariana Grande (unless it is of course)
I can't read Evelyn as anything other than Evil Lyn ever since the HeMan and Skeletor cartoon series
Avaline - can only imagine you've never seen Bread (if you do go with this try to avoid Joey or Adrian if you have a DS in future)
Alicia - v popular round here so I wouldn't choose that but could be different where you are
Aria - sorry don't mean to be rude but this sounds a teensy bit pretentious
All the others are lovely

Elodie, Etta and Evelyn are lovely. Esme is nice too but pretty popular, at least in my area.

Blomme · 07/10/2016 14:57

Etta Smile

Ilovewillow · 07/10/2016 14:55

Love Elodie and Etta. The others are all lovely, but from your list those are my favourites.

Joinourclub · 07/10/2016 14:46

Alicia, Evelyn, Esme and Elodie are lovely. But Evelyn very popular ( if that bothers you) and Elodie always reminds me of pond weed! Esme is my favourite but different people pronounce it in different ways and I like Ez-mee not Ez-may. So Alicia it is!

babyblabber · 07/10/2016 14:17

Fab list! Very similar taste to me!

My favourites would be Amaya, Esme, Alicia and Elodie.

MotherDuckSaid · 07/10/2016 13:09

Buntysoven · 07/10/2016 00:33

So bored of Esme and Evelyn. Not very pretty to begin with. Love Ariana.

0pti0na1 · 06/10/2016 23:49

My favourites are Ariana and Evelyn.

cheekyfunkymonkey · 06/10/2016 23:42

Aria and Woodie, not Esme... too twilight!

PointlessUsername · 06/10/2016 23:40

Esme

helensburgh · 06/10/2016 23:21

Etta for sure

chinlo · 06/10/2016 23:18

Etta's sandwich. Etta's cereal. Etta's sausage

I don't get it Confused

BackforGood · 06/10/2016 23:18

I only like Evelyn.

RebelandaStunner · 06/10/2016 23:15

I like Esme and Etta best.

stiffstink · 06/10/2016 23:09

I love Etta but wouldn't be able to cope with meal times. Etta's sandwich. Etta's cereal. Etta's sausage. I am very odd though and I think about food a lot

Oh, another! Avaline = bread.

kate33 · 06/10/2016 23:05

Nope, can't help you - they're all gorgeous! Just pick one at random and use the rest as middle names!
Esme would have been my choice if I had had a girl and Elodie is beautiful. I also love Aviary and Leonie and Marnie.
But your list is tough, I would eliminate Alicia and Evelyn just because they are so popular where I live.

Vixxfacee · 06/10/2016 22:55

Like aria and amaya
Dislike adaline, alicia, etta, esme and Arianna.

mamalovebird · 06/10/2016 22:52
