I love Nancy, Nora and Florence. Considered all of these for my little girl.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 15/03/2018 09:37

Nancy.

Florence is my favourite; I also like Molly and Iris.

IVflytrap · 15/03/2018 09:30

They're all lovely names, and my favourites are Ivy, Iris, Freya, Molly, Mabel, in that order.

Emilia, Freya, Florence and Ivy seem quite popular at the moment. I think I would avoid Emilia with that spelling anyway as everyone will assume she's Amelia until it's spelt out.

Nancy, Ottilie, Mabel, Iris, Betsy and Nora are less popular at the moment, I believe.

They are all lovely names, Emilia, Aurelia, iris, Mabel and Ottilie stand out to me nothing wrong with any of them in my opinion, you need to write down each name with your surname and see which looks better also say them out loud and obviously talk through them with you partner. Good luck

Like: Ottilie, Ivy, Iris and Betsy
Dislike: Molly, Florence, Freya, Mabel, Nancy, Emilia, Nora and Aurelia

VileyRose · 15/03/2018 09:08

I love Nora.

Marv1nGay3 · 15/03/2018 09:06

I love Mabel

NameyMcChangeRae · 15/03/2018 09:02

LOVE Iris, Nancy, Ivy, Emilia and Molly.

Florence, Freya and Mabel are Ok

Dislike - Nora - “flaming Nora”, Betsy (doesn’t feel like a “full” name), Aurelia (reminds me of Areola), Ottillie (pronounced properly it sounds stuck up and wet, pronounced with a dialect will sound like Oddily)

AnyaMoondial · 15/03/2018 08:58

I love your list!!! My favourites are Nancy, Iris and Mabel.

PineappleExpress · 15/03/2018 08:58

I met an Ottilie recently. She was Ottie for short and I think it's lovely.
I like Molly, too. Not so keen on the others except Florence or Ivy as middle names

Ickyockycocky · 15/03/2018 08:50

I don’t like any of those, sorry.
