Etta, Saskia or Hattie.

The others are awful.

yellowplumpreserves · 27/09/2018 22:26

I don’t really like any of them much. Just not my taste. Hattie and Saskia are OK.

YourVagesty · 27/09/2018 22:24

Astra, lux and saskia for me.

Heratnumber7 · 27/09/2018 22:12

Asia- it's a continent
Astra - meh
Bindi - it's an Indian caste symbol (or something)
Etta - ok
Farrah - ok
Grey - No
Hattie - yes if short for Harriet
Jovie - No
Juniper - it's a berry
Lux - No
Mika - boy's name
Saskia- yes

Asia
Etta
Hattie
Saskia (my favorite)

Hellywelly10 · 27/09/2018 20:58

I like hattie, love Astrid, i know its not on your list but its similar to the first two.

TempsPerdu · 27/09/2018 20:57

Interesting list! My top three would be Etta (but I’m biased as I have a Greta), Astra and Juniper. Hattie is cute too, but I’d only use it as a nn for Harriet. Not keen on Bindi, Jovie or Lux.

Mayhemmumma · 27/09/2018 20:54

Etta is amaze

beanaseireann · 27/09/2018 20:53

Saskia

rhubarbfool · 27/09/2018 20:51

Love Etta and Hattie.
What about Greta, or Erica?

cantfindamoniker · 27/09/2018 20:51
  1. Saskia 2. Juniper the other names are not for me. How about Romy or Zia? They seem to go with your name list?
ConsiderHerWaysAndOthers · 27/09/2018 20:49

Asia - a continent
Astra - a car
Bindi - what some Hindi women wear on their forehead
Etta - VW Jetta (a car, very popular in America)
Farrah - that teen mom turned porn star
Grey - ‘s Anatomy
Hattie - lovely, even better if it’s short for Harriet
Jovie - don’t get it, don’t like it
Juniper - very cool, wouldn’t be brave enough to use it myself
Lux - we use this as an abbreviation for luxury goods at work, it’s not a name
Mika - a (male) judge on the French version of the voice
Saskia - love this, definitely my favourite

IdahoJones · 27/09/2018 20:43

Etta and Saskia are lovely I think.

What about Kasia? It's Polish, pronounced 'Kasha'.

sleepismysuperpower1 · 27/09/2018 20:40

i really like astra and saskia.

just to throw another name in there, what about zinnia? it sort of goes with all the names in your list..
