Hoist your judgy pants in the full force and judge my Baby Girl list!

Sorry, missed Freya. Super popular at the moment but I still like it.

Ooh!

Hoiks up judgey pants.

Lydia - quite like this but makes me think of the little gobshite Bennett sister from Pride and Prejudice.

Athena - like it, don’t know the shop. Glamorous.

Amanda - OK but quite 80s. Amanda is an irritatingly chipper American cheerleader.

Alison - quite boring and 70s/80s. Alison is your dad’s secretary and has large bottom.

Alice - Alice... who the fuck is Alice? I think Alice might be a bit of a goody two shoes.

Delaney - good God, what are you thinking?!

Dora - Dora is your annoying little sister / a teacher’s pet who will grass you up at the first opportunity. She has a talent for pretending to cry to get her own way.

Alexandra - love it! Elegant and regal, great nn options.

Freya (reminds you of fraying a thread? Perhaps sh

Lydia: I always think this sounds a bit wet.

Athena: poster shop. Plus pretentious.

Amanda: I like this, though I'm not a huge fan of Mandy. I don't think that's inevitable though.

Alison: Good choice.

Alice (not sure if too similar to 'a lice'): You are over-thinking this. It doesn't sound anything like a lice, which would actually be a louse, anyway. Lice are plural.

Delaney (too surnamey?): Awful

Dora: I don't mind this, though I think I would give her a longer name and shorten it to Dora.

Alexandra: It's okay.

Freya (reminds you of fraying a thread? Perhaps she will go round the party and ruin everyone's dress?): It doesn't remind me of that at all. I don't much like it though.

My picks would be Alison, Amanda or Alice.

Lydia is the nicest (was on my shortlist)

Alice - don’t think of a lice because the singular of lice is louse

That's what I was going to say!

I like Athena (remember the poster shop but still like the name anyway), Alexandra, Alison and Lydia best.

The only one I like is Alice, Alexandra is ok.

Freya is favourite.

Lydia is also nice.

Oh god, how is someone too young to remember Athena but old enough to have a child?!
I swear it was only a few years ago that I was in there with my school friends, sniggering at the black and white posters of sultry looking men.
Does this mean I’m officially old?

Freya and Lydia are my favourites.

Don't like Delaney at all, and not keen on Dora.

I like Freya and Alexandra. Not Delaney. It’s a different “type” (trying to be diplomatic!) of name entirely.

80s tastic, not tasting, though I suppose tasting will do!

Lydia. I also like Athena and I've never heard of it being a poster shop (I'm 26)

Ooh i love Alice. And lydia is nice x

There’s a few 80s-tasting names on there. I remember Athena the poster shop, but I’m a classicist so I think of the goddess first. You could go for Athene if you want to avoid the poster shop, but I don’t think it’s a big deal. I like Alice - don’t think of a lice because the singular of lice is louse.

Dora (the explorer) and Delaney (what the fuck?!) are truly awful and Freya is 90s tastic unless you’re into Norse mythology.

So, Alice or Athena/e depending on how slightly edgy you want to go.

Athena is in my opinion the nicest of your names and I can recall the poster shop no issue. I still like it as a name I think it is beautiful.

I love Alice

I’m surprised a few people have said Athena the shop was long ago - the one near me only closed in 2014! Although saying that, if I met a little girl called Athena I wouldn’t think of the shop at all.

I like Lydia, Athena and Dora the best!
Alexandra is quite nice but in my opinion is just a bit overused especially with how popular it is in the boys version as well
Freya is okay but overused
Hate Delaney, sounds like a tv detective show
Amanda and Alison are a bit out of fashion and not in a good way.... also hate the nn Mandy... and Alison was just the name of everyone boring mum when I was at school!! But to be fair they should be due a comeback soon so maybe you are just ahead of your time

Lydia.

Athena is also lovely but I too remember the poster seller, most especially known for the female tennis player 'flaunting' her naked arse.

I really dislike Delaney, that sounds like a second string cop in a tedious TV series and Amanda because I wouldn't like Mandy or Mand as nicknames and I seriously dislike someone with that name, so it has negative connotations for me.

I love Alexandra. Alison and Freya are nice too. I dont really like the others. Cant say Ive heard of the poster shop but Athena to me isnt a baby/ small child's name. Dora the explorer isn't great tbh x

Lydia teapot

I like Freya

Lydia used to be one of my favourite names, until aunt Lydia!

Athena, yep poster shop, but long enough ago and i think it's quite cool.

Freya is my favourite from your list.

Lydia - no. Seems very 1980's to me

Athena - meh! Not a fan

Amanda - see Lydia

Alison - as above

Alice - love this name :)

Delaney (- a bit surnamey and I actually think of a boy when I heard this!

Dora - the explora? So a no for this one

Alexandra - love this, but only use if your happy with the option of Alex/Lexie etc as a nn. I can't imagine she will stay an Alexandra.

Freya- I've only heard this on a toddler once and I quite like it.

I like Lydia, Alice, Dora and Freya.

I know under 2s called Lydia, Alice and Freya but Lydia is least common.
Never met a Dora.

I'd maybe use Theadora and then if you find Dora the Explorer too annoying you have the option of Thea.

Alexandra
Lydia
Alice

These are all lovely names, classic and not over-used. Alison is also nice and I agree it’s due a revival. I don’t know any under 50.

I love Athena!

Was there really a shop that just sold posters lol?!
