Love the nn Etta and Pip!

I like Ella

Not as popular as it was so not going to end up with 24 in your child’s class at school and I think it’s lovely. Works for a teenager and adult too. Can’t stand stupid cutesy names that are great for a newborn but ridiculous for a 32 year old going for a job interview.

A great list - my taste I guess as there's only one I'm not real keen on, Ella, and that's mainly because El names seem way over-used.

I adore Harriet and Philippa. Love nns for Philippa such as Pip, Pippa and Pippin. I'm not so keen on Harriet short forms (except I do kind of like Harrie for a girl) so would just use the full name if I used that.

I love Sophie too - sweet and traditional. Also Kate. I'd use Kate as the name and Katie as the nn. Always seems such a strong feminine choice. And Anna, another love of mine, is so classic and stylish. Anna, Sophie and Kate have all been extremely popular but that wouldn't stop me using them as they have a classic quality. I haven't become tired of them the way I have with Ella. My favourites are Harriet and Philippa though.

Harriet, beautiful name. Don't like the rest.

All lovely names! Pip could be cute as a short version of Phillipa!
