ReversingSnail · 31/03/2018 20:51

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 31/03/2018 20:46

Here are the names I like ;
Zinnia, Nova, Willow, Xanthe and Zory.

bettydraper31 · 31/03/2018 20:38

Sorry but I personally wouldn’t have any of them.

Littlemum2be86 · 31/03/2018 20:33

Mila, Autumn, Delilah, Willow and Beatrix are all nice. Particularly like Delilah!

Juniper and Blossom are a bit out there but I don’t mind them. The rest sound slightly made up....sorry OP.

Some nice ones on there though!

Sophronia · 31/03/2018 20:33

I only like Zinnia, Delilah and Beatrix

TabbyTigger · 31/03/2018 20:09

1.Indie/Indigo
4.Mila
12.Aspen
13.Autumn
20.Delilah
24.Willow
25.Bee/Beatrix
26.Cassy

IVflytrap · 31/03/2018 19:56

I'd remove

6.Moxie
8.Nova
9.Deja
10.Magnolia
11.Sabre
15.Xylona
17.Blossom
19.Idylla
21.Ivory
23.Electra
28.Zory
29. Jinx
30. Tempest

Xylona sounds like a chemical, Sabre, Ivory, Electra, Jinx and Tempest have negative or destructive associations, Moxie, Deja, Magnolia, Idylla and Zory look or sound ugly. I've never liked Nova.

Beeziekn33ze · 31/03/2018 19:51

Keep:
Aspen
Xia
Cassy or Cassidy
Xanthe (not Xantha)

But it's your choice. The one that I really dislike is Moxie

11.Sabre
12.Aspen

20.Delilah

30. Tempest

RidingWindhorses · 31/03/2018 19:00

All except Mila, Delilah, Electra and Beatrice (don't like trix).

I appreciate a classical name but a girl I knew called Venus was always called Penis.

Glumglowworm · 31/03/2018 18:56

The only ones I’d keep would be Mila, Willow and Beatrix

Moxie, xylona, Nomi and Idylla are particularly awful so they’re the first ones I’d cross off the list

LastNightsMakeUp · 31/03/2018 18:55
