I do like Ariel, but I'm just not a fan of using boy's names for girls.
And isn't that even more "disney cute" than Arielle?

I like Susannah and Eliana. Millicent is really horrible. The rest are okay.

Yika · 11/03/2017 21:52

I love the name Helena.

Also like Erica, Louisa and Antonia.

I really dislike Millicent, can't understand why it's having a moment. Sounds like millipede.

I actually like Arielle but would prefer it spelt Ariel. What about Ariane?

RaeSkywalker · 11/03/2017 21:47

I like Serena and Louisa.

Millimetres - named after your Nanny? Grin

No, her name is actually Julia ;)

This is great. Awesome. So, nobody seems to like Millicent? Interesting. Thanks :)

Helena and Louisa are timeless and classy.
Serena is beautiful.
Antonia is underused and different.
Susannah, is also lovely.
I don't like any of the others, sorry.

strawberrypenguin · 11/03/2017 21:44

Serena and Louisa are nice. Erica spelt with a c not a k would be my preferred name from your list and I think Millicent is awful, sorry

BeccyButterfly · 11/03/2017 21:44

The only one i dislike is Millicent, Millie is nice though. My faves on your list are, Carina, Serena and Annabelle Grin

Millicent - a bit fuddy duddy
Helena - ok
Eliana - not keen
Amynta - awful
Serena - ok
Louisa - bit bland

Hate them all except Louisa.
All too twee, too Disney, too convoluted or too elaborate apart from Louisa. Louisa is a beautiful classic.

TheUpsideDown · 11/03/2017 21:41

Carina - not bad, but not in love with it
Susanna/h - beautiful with the 'h'
Arielle - yuck
Ariella - double yuck
Millicent - triple yuck with a cherry on top
Helena - Like a lot if it has an accent over the last 'e' so its prounced Hel-ay-nah
Eliana - Nope
Amynta - err, wtf? Nooooo
Serena - lovely
Louisa - lovely
Annabella - hate it
Annabelle - hate it less, but still hate it
Erika - very nice
Antonia - Nice, but it'll get shortened to Toni, which I don't personally like

AmysTiara · 11/03/2017 21:39

I like Carina, Helena, Annabelle and Erika but I prefer it spelt Erica. Louisa is okay.
