stellinaa · 01/04/2018 11:16

I like Indie, Delilah, Autumn, Beatrix and Cassie (not with a ‘y’ as it does not look right imo). Though Cassie would work much better as simply a nickname for Cassandra

FusRoDah · 01/04/2018 11:14

Difficult as I'm not really a fan of 'out there' names. The only ones I like are Mila and Autumn, agree with PP that most of the rest sound like drag queens or video game characters. Sorry Blush

Mila is lovely though!

17caterpillars1mouse · 01/04/2018 08:50

I would keep

Indie if a nn for Ingrid or Indiana
Bessie if a nn for Elisabeth
Magnolia could work. Maggie or Nola for short
Delilah
Zana
Willow
Bee/Beatrix
Tempest maybe though is a good choice

Sorry but most of your names sound like your gaming characters for the next final fantasy game

Janicejanet · 01/04/2018 08:08

I can't see these as anything other than paint colours in the main.

NotAgainYoda · 01/04/2018 08:05

I'd keep

Mila
Nova
Autumn
Willow
Cassie - nicest by a long chalk

Some of these are quite unintentionally funny

vampirethriller · 01/04/2018 07:57

My name is on there and it's one everyone hatesGrin mind you I've never been a huge fan of it myself.
Bessie
Indigo
Are the ones I like.

TroubledLichen · 01/04/2018 01:04

Yes to Beatrix, Willow, Autumn or Electra. Beatrix is my favourite by a long way. Your other choices are ahem, not really to my taste.

xLeanne128 · 01/04/2018 00:52

I like Mila, willow, autumn and nova not keen on others

Joeybee · 01/04/2018 00:51

1.Indie/Indigo - Like this name, it should be more popular.
2.Dulcie/Dulcinia Okay.
3.Zinnia - a bit 'try-hard'.
4.Mila - Boring.
5.Bessie - Only as a nickname for something else. Too cutesy on its own.
6.Moxie - sounds like an antibiotic.
7.Venus - No, it's a brand name, and a planet...too strange.
8.Nova - LOVE this name. Can see why it's getting more popular. Fave name on your list.
9.Deja - Nope
10.Magnolia - Boring paint colour, don't think anyone wants to be named that.
11.Sabre - ...tooth tiger???
12.Aspen - Has 'ass' built right into the name.
13.Autumn - Nice name, a bit boring.
14.Nomi - Like a gnome???? NO
15.Xylona - Awful.
16.Juniper - Okay...a bit too hippy-ish to me.
17.Blossom - NO NO NO....only on a cat or a hamster, not a person.
18.Xia - No
19.Idylla - No
20.Delilah - Like this. A nice old-fashioned name that's fortunately gaining popularity again.
21.Ivory - Don't like it.
22.Zana - Meh
23.Electra - Like this. It's a really underused name for some reason.
24.Willow - Cute, not too popular or out there.
25.Bee/Beatrix - Lovely name and nickname.
26.Cassy - Not bad. Prefer the Cassie spelling though, and not as a name in its own right. Go with Cassandra and shorten to Cassy.
27.Xantha - A bit 'try-hard'
28.Zory - No. Zoey would be a nice alternative though
29. Jinx Awful...don't name a human this.
30. Tempest NO

DramaAlpaca · 01/04/2018 00:41

I'd keep Mila, Willow & Delilah. Most of the rest I really dislike.

I guess we don't have the same taste in names.

Dixiestampsagain · 01/04/2018 00:35

If only keep Mila, Autumn, Nova and Willow, I’m afraid.

upsideup · 31/03/2018 21:54

Thankyou! You have managed to convince us to cross of

  1. Venus
10. Magnolia 14. Nomi 18. Xia 29. Jinx

We have put crosses next to Moxie, Deja, Sabre, Zory and Tempest as they also seem very disliked but I dont think we are quite ready to disregard them yet.
Dont worry about being harsh, we want to give an 'out there' name but dont want to give one that is going to be universally hated or difficult to pronounce.

Smoliver · 31/03/2018 21:33

Love:
Indie/Indigo
Autumn
Juniper
Willow
Bee/Beatrix

Like:
Zinnia - love this but in Matilda, it's the name of her mother, which slightly puts me off
Mila
Nova
Magnolia - although, not a fan of the nn Maggie
Blossom - prefer it for a middle name though
Xia
Delilah
Ivory
Cassy - prefer Cassie as the spelling
Xantha - slightly prefer Xanthe

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 31/03/2018 21:25

Also lose Venus. It would've be too bad if it didn't rhyme with Penis.
If you looking for a planety name. Do you not like Saturn or Mercury. I can see by your list ypu like out there type names.

SuperBeagle · 31/03/2018 21:21

Need to be crossed off immediately:

  • Dulcinia
  • Moxie - What on Earth is this? Concur with others that it sounds like a disease.
  • Bessie - Only cows should bear this name
  • Venus
  • Deja - Again, what on Earth?
  • Sabre - You see Sabre, you hear "toothed tiger", or lightsaber.
  • Nomi - Too gnomey. Naomi is nice, however.
  • Xylona
  • Blossom - Can work as a middle name, but not as a first name.
  • Idylla
  • Ivory - Dead elephants.
  • Electra - Carmen
  • Xantha - Xanthe is fine, though.
  • Zory - Also what on Earth?
  • Jinx - The cat from Meet the Parents, and totally unusable even if that wasn't an association.
  • Tempest - Absolutely awful. Tempestuous?

Usable but don't like:

  • Indie / Indigo
  • Dulcie
  • Zinnia
  • Nova
  • Mila
  • Magnolia
  • Zana
  • Beatrix

The best of a pretty poor bunch:

  • Aspen - Wouldn't use if you have no connection to the place, though.
  • Autumn
  • Juniper - Prefer Juno
  • Xia
  • Delilah - Prefer Dahlia
  • Willow
  • Cassie - This spelling
