Defo Hallie

Ellen is an old womans name and not in a good way
Serena sounds like you shoukd be finnish or swedish

MadameJosephine · 26/01/2017 18:32

Love Serena
Ellen I'm not so keen on, I prefer Eleanor
Really don't like Halle, not sure why but it just sounds like Hayley mispronounced to me, sorry

BernardsarenotalwaysSaints · 26/01/2017 17:56

I like all the names on your list but Halle & Ellen are my favourites Smile

I know a couple of Serena. One pronounces it as you would ( Se-reen-a) another Ser- en- a.

Kelsey28 I didn't realise there was different ways to pronounce it Confused I would say 'Serene-a'

Serena

Kelsey28 · 26/01/2017 17:45

How are you pronouncing Serena?

DramaAlpaca · 26/01/2017 17:34

For me I think it would have to be Serena.

Hallie is OK, maybe a bit cutesy, but nice sounding.

Not Ellen, I have an irrational dislike of this name.

minipie · 26/01/2017 17:32

Serena

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 26/01/2017 17:16

Definitely Ellen, such a classy name.
Ellen Serena.

Bringbacksummer · 26/01/2017 16:35

In order of preference:

Hallie
Ellen
Serena

Hallie is my favourite by a substantial amount but the others are nice.

Serena Ellen Surname

2ducks2ducklings · 26/01/2017 13:52

I love Ellen.

Raines100 · 26/01/2017 13:50

Love Serena.
Halle is meh.
Ellen is dull.

Thumbcat · 26/01/2017 13:27

I really like Serena. Hallie is ok. Ellen I think of as a very plain name.

Cakingbad · 26/01/2017 13:26

I like Ellen.

Valeriemalorie · 26/01/2017 13:25

You have a good short list, wait and see what you think when baby is born.

Doolallylally · 26/01/2017 13:23

100% Ellen.

Doolallylally · 26/01/2017 13:23

100% Ellen.

Sophronia · 26/01/2017 13:22

I like Ellen

Jooni · 26/01/2017 13:11

I really like Ellen. Next favourite is Halle.

MuddyMoose · 26/01/2017 12:05

I think Serena is a beautiful name. I like Hallie also (spelt with the i). Not keen on Ellen.

ppandj · 26/01/2017 11:47

Really like Halle and Serena.

TeshiB · 26/01/2017 11:35

I like Hallie!
Not sure on the others
