Favourite: Rachel, also like Israel
Least: Shanice and dislike Maude because it sounds so frumpy and I get a picture of a grumpy old lady waving her stick and yelling at some children every time I hear it!

Katelocks · 15/12/2016 20:54

Favourite: Isobel

Least: Shanice, Aisha and Bryonie. Although Bryony would be OK.

Coconut0il · 15/12/2016 20:51

Favourite: Lauren
Least: Shanice

NotSoHankyPanky · 15/12/2016 20:51

Fav Isobel and least fav Shanice.

Floralnomad · 15/12/2016 20:49

If I had to pick one it would be Lauren , worst is Maud closely followed by shanice , but I wouldn't actually use any of them .

1horatio · 15/12/2016 20:48

Favourite: Jemma. But I also like Rachel.

I really dislike Aisha (I've met two and they were both horrible), but objectively speaking it's probably a lovely name.

SpeckledyBanana · 15/12/2016 20:48

Fave: Isobel

Worst: Shanice

DurhamDurham · 15/12/2016 20:46

Favourite is Lauren
Least favourite is Shanice

BackforGood · 15/12/2016 20:46

Fave - Rachel
Also like Carly

REALLY don't like Shanice or Maud. (Odd both are in your list as very different 'types' of names)

I wouldn't spell Bryonie like that.

There are millions of Isobels (and varieties of that spelling) in Nurseries right now, if that effects your decision.

thegirlinthecar · 15/12/2016 20:43

Favourite : Lauren
Least favourite : shanice and bryonie

Yika · 15/12/2016 20:42

I like Rachel and Jemma. I actually quite like all of them, they are eclectic but in a good way. Aisha sounds out of place unless you have Muslim heritage; it's a pretty name in itself though. I think I like Evelyn the least.

cbigs · 15/12/2016 20:41

Wowzers ... hope there are no shanice mnetters reading Grin

Loyly · 15/12/2016 20:40

littlefirtree · 15/12/2016 20:36

Rachel.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 15/12/2016 20:34

Love Maud/e.
Dislike Carly and Shanice

Cosmicglitterpug · 15/12/2016 20:07

Like Maud best.

Shanice the least.

sodabreadjam · 15/12/2016 19:57

Favourite - Rachel (timeless) and Isobel - I prefer Isabel.

Maud is just too old-fashioned for me - I think it is ugly.

Don't like Shanice either. Sounds like a made-up American name.

Gazelda · 15/12/2016 19:21

Favourite - Jemma
Least - Shanice, Maud.

NotYoda · 15/12/2016 19:20

Also dislike Maud

Makes me think of maudlin

NotYoda · 15/12/2016 19:19

Favourite: Rachel

Least favourite; Shanice

They are an eclectic mixture

Hardshoulder · 15/12/2016 19:16

They're an odd-looking set of names when you put them together - plain classics like Rachel, slightly dated Evelyn, Jemma and Lauren, the retro chic of Maud, the incredibly popular Isobel, and then the much more 'flash' Bryonie and Shanice.

Shanice is awful. I think my favourite is probably Maud.

stickygotstuck · 15/12/2016 19:15

Favourite Aisha (was on our shortlist Wink)
I rather like Maud too.
Least favourite are Shanice and Bryonie.

GoofyTheHero · 15/12/2016 19:14

They're all very different!
Like Isobel and Evelyn.
Really really dislike Maud and Shanice
