Annika - OK.
Cassidy - surname-type name, so I won't like it.
Kassy - only if it's Cassie, and short for Cassandra or something.
Mina - I like it - but probably only if it's short for a name like Wilhelmina/
Phoebe - this is the only "full" name you have on the list, so it stands out a bit - I like it, but the Phoebes I know are all in their very late teens.

Annika - lovely, but prefer the Scandinavian spelling of Anneke

Cassidy - meh. Cassie is much nicer

Kassy - Just wrong; please don't do this to your girl. Cassie is much nicer; could be short for Cassandra

Mina - pretty, but a bit mincing

Phoebe - pretty, know a few little Phoebes

I like Cassidy, it's unusual.
I really dislike Kassy, and I think that Phoebe is becoming very popular since last year, I know two babies already named Phoebe, so I'd avoid that one.

BrutusMcDogface · 28/01/2018 17:54

Phoebe is really common around here.

Cassidy is beautiful! I love it and also the shortened versions Cass and Cassie. If it went with our surname I'd want to use it!

Jammycustard · 28/01/2018 17:53

Phoebe

Whippetmamma · 28/01/2018 17:52

Love Phoebe and Mina, like Annika too 🙂

MikeUniformMike · 28/01/2018 17:52

Annika - ok but I wouldn't use it. The tv woman in a jumpsuit is Anneka Rice.
Cassidy - surname, sounds a bit American as a girl's name
Kassy - Cassie is a better spelling.
Mina - meaner than who?
Phoebe - lovely

Elllicam · 28/01/2018 17:51

I like Cassidy and Cassie.

Mulch · 28/01/2018 17:49

Love annika, minas second favourite

AthenaAshton · 28/01/2018 17:47

If I had to choose, it would be Phoebe. How about Hebe?

Talith · 28/01/2018 17:44

Kassy sounds too much like gassy. Others ok.

RavenWings · 28/01/2018 17:38

Annika - best one by a mile
Cassidy - I like Cassandra, Cassie etc but not Cassidy
Kassy - awful
Mina - I like this, second best on the list!
Phoebe - I know it's loved on MN but meh, personally.

RapunzelLetDownYourHair7 · 28/01/2018 16:08

However, I think Cassie (spelt this way) is quite nice.

RapunzelLetDownYourHair7 · 28/01/2018 16:08

I like Annika most.

Cassidy- a bit niche.
Kassy is a dog's name.
Mina is okay.
Phoebe- I don't like this.

AdalindSchade · 28/01/2018 14:28

Mina is lovely. Phoebe is nice. Cassie is nice. Kassy is wtf. Cassidy is a bit American prom queen but fine if you like that kind of vibe.

Plumes · 28/01/2018 14:27

I love Cassie, but only spelt this way.

Mina and Phoebe are nice too.

ohlittlepea · 28/01/2018 14:25

Phoebe is the best :)

Glumglowworm · 28/01/2018 14:19

I really like Phoebe

Cassidy is ok

Not a fan of the others and Kassy is awful

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 28/01/2018 12:13

*Phoebe 😮🙄

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 28/01/2018 12:12

Annika or Cassidy.
I really like Kassy, though Ive never seen it spelled that way before ! 😄
Phone, Mina, not keen, sorry.

GW2008 · 28/01/2018 03:57

Anikka sounds strong, powerful name.

DuggeeHugs · 28/01/2018 03:07

Really like Phoebe.
Like Annika.
Neutral about Mina.
Dislike Cassidy.
Really dislike Kassy.

worstwitch18 · 28/01/2018 01:58

Phoebe is very nice.

Kassy (or Cassie) feels like a nickname, maybe even for Cassidy as you like that name.

ChocolateCrunch · 28/01/2018 01:51

I only like Phoebe from your list

Mugshotzforlunch · 28/01/2018 01:05

Cassidy is fine (not my taste)
Really dislike all the other names.
