Hi, I’m really struggling with girls names. I would like a name that works well for a child as well as an adult that isn’t too common (although I appreciate that my names are a bit average) We have a difficult to pronounce surname so don’t want anything to difficult to spell or say. What do you think? Any other suggestions are also welcome

Iris
Felicity
Charlotte
Emily
Erin
Robyn
Fern
Georgia

daisypond we don’t have Irish roots would it be seen as cultural appropriation?

Iris- great
Felicity-great
Charlotte- don’t like.
Emily-OK but dull
Erin- good but only if you have Irish links. I wouldn’t consider it otherwise.
Robyn- awful.
Fern- nice.
Georgia-no, downmarket and dated.

How about Vera, Verity, Emma?

Erin and Fern are lovely. Don't like the others. Faith? Shona?

bundleeveryfight · 02/06/2019 09:09

I like all your names OP except Iris. Charlotte is lovely but too mainstream for me. Love felicity and all the others on your list :-)

Dislike Fern and Robyn. The rest are nice

How about Alberta or Rosa?

Mnbb · 02/06/2019 08:17

I really don’t like Fern. V dated and not a nice sound. The others are all fine.

Ooh Canone I like Edith and Cora the best from your list.

Moon i was actually thinking of Elizabeth as a middle name if it goes with the rest of the name.
