Girls names... preference??

Very aware that most of these names will be frowned upon by the majority of mumsnetters, but what (if you HAD to) would be your favourite and least favourite?
Middle name is Sally, surname is a single syllable 'S' name.

Everly
Edie
Tallulah
Leni
Noa
Marlowe
Alba
Cooper

Edie is nice. The others I'm middling on, except Marlowe & Cooper which I really dislike (ditto any surname names, esp for girls).

All hideous and even if you don't go with ASS for initials think you deserve to be reported to the NSPCC.

NotRicksWife · 10/10/2016 23:05

Leni is a beautiful name. I like Edie too.

Well that has gone exactly the way I thought it would so far Wink I loved Edie for such a long time and now that it's gaining popularity I'm going off of it.
I'm aware that most of them are a bit American/surnamey/masculine. But I like them. But they are as much names as any, people call their children all kinds of wacky things.
Wondered how many people would make the ASS connection - love the name but did worry me. So unfortunately it's off the list.

Tallulah

footballwidow12 · 10/10/2016 22:55

Edie is a beautiful name Smile

WitchesGlove · 10/10/2016 22:52

Alba or Marlowe

SarcasmMode · 10/10/2016 22:52

Urgh iphonecdoesnt recognise it

edie.

ScarletSienna · 10/10/2016 22:51

I like Edie best but it has the same sound at the end and same number of syllables as Sally which makes it a bit gallopy.

Then again, you won't often say the middle name so it probably isn't an issue.

My opinion...
Favourites: Edie and Everly
Ok: Tallulah and Alba
Awful: Marlowe, Cooper, Leni and Noa

ErrolTheDragon · 10/10/2016 22:51

Edie is ok but some of the others surely aren't girl's names (cooper, marlowe, everly are surnames associated with a comedian, playwright and brothers).

You really cannot use Alba with middle name Sally and surname starting with an S ... initials ASS (see the SHAG thread if you need convincing)

SarcasmMode · 10/10/2016 22:51

Edis

monsterbookofty · 10/10/2016 22:51

Edie sounds nice
I really don't like Noa however, it sounds to similar to the boys Noah.

TempsPerdu · 10/10/2016 22:51

I like Alba, and Edie is OK. Really dislike the rest, and my least favourite would probably be Cooper.

MeAndTheMajor · 10/10/2016 22:51

I like Edie

Tallulah and Cooper are my least favourite.

SarcasmMode · 10/10/2016 22:50

Eddie favourite, Alba least as it sounds short for album or a female version of Albus.

minipie · 10/10/2016 22:49

Edie very much my favourite but not sure it goes with Sally (too many -ee sounds).

Alba is best with Sally as a middle name I think.

Cooper least favourite closely followed by Leni (which will be heard as Lenny)

milkshakeandmonstermunch · 10/10/2016 22:48

Edie is lovely :-)

VanellopeVonSchweetz99 · 10/10/2016 22:47

Edie at a push, none of the others. Sorry.

ButterflyOfFreedom · 10/10/2016 22:46

Edie - favourite

Cooper - least

Millionreasons · 10/10/2016 22:46

The only one I've heard of is Tallulah. Don't like any but Edie at an absolute push.

katemess12 · 10/10/2016 22:44

Edie is my favourite.

Noa is my least favourite. Followed closely by Marlowe (try hard) and Cooper (so boyish).

mycatstares · 10/10/2016 22:43

Love Tallulah but not with Sally.

Don't like any of the others sorry.

RaeSkywalker · 10/10/2016 22:43

Edie is my favourite by a million miles.

I think I probably like Leni the least.

hoddtastic · 10/10/2016 22:42
