Swear, yes I'm not particularly keen on the nn Ellie so that is a concern.

Busy, no probs I'm looking for all sorts of opinions. The second names to go with Charlotte would be middle names.

Amelie - Okay, will always be misheard for Emily though
Ameline - Not sure
Arianna - Quite nice
Charlotte Mia - I prefer Charlotte on its own
Charlotte Mari - Ditto
Charlotte Mari Ann - Ditto
Charlotta - No
Hannah - A bit 80s
Eira - Will be mispronounced and misspelt
Emmeline - A bit flouncy for me
Eleanor / Elinor - Meh
Elena - Will be misspelt
Eleni - Will be misspelt
Eliana - Quite nice
Elise - Okay
Eliza - I love this
Elodie - Quite nice
Emiliana - A bit fancy for me
Emmylou - No!
Eveline - Sounds like a brand of make-up
Isabella - Too popular
Isabelle - Too popular
Maisie - Okay
Marianne - Too 80s
Mariella - I quite like this
Marielle - Might be confused with Muriel?
Maya - Will be misprounced (is it My-ah or May-ah?)
Thea - Okay

Sorry, it looks like I've been really harsh but I think we must have quite different tastes!

Maya and Thea are my favourites from your list.

I'm not sure if it matters to you but Ellie is incredibly popular at the moment, and all those names beginning with 'El' may well get shortened to Ellie when she's older. It would put me off just due to sheer popularity.

Thanks Raines, do you find Elena gets confused with Eleanor?

OP posts:

Raines100 · 20/12/2016 13:42

I have an Elena, pronounced e-lay-na. So really it's a question of whether you want that or a less beautiful name

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 20/12/2016 13:22

I like Emmeline and Maisie.
I like Isobel, not the frilly spelling.
Don't like Emmylou or Emiliana.
Suggest Elspeth, Ellen or Etta.

Thank you, Evelyn doesn't really go that well with my surname although I guess Eveline isn't that different.

OP posts:

TealGiraffe · 20/12/2016 10:47

Ah just seen Eveline, is it pronounced the same?

TealGiraffe · 20/12/2016 10:47

I really like Eliza

What about Evelyn?

SausageSoda · 20/12/2016 10:45

Elodie is my favourite followed by Thea.

Ones i really dislike are Emmylou, Maya, Marielle, Emiliana and Eira.
