baby girl name advice please!

Love Cecily nn CeCe

Re: Lottie / Charlotte

I appreciate that you’re an overthinker like me, but it seems disproportionate to think so much about possible confusion as a toddler, and not at all about whether your future middle aged daughter will appreciate being called what many consider to be a child’s nickname

Charlotte

I think you’re overthinking the potential confusion tbh! She can just learn to write Lottie when she’s small and learn to write Charlotte a little later

'Eden - unless you a religious it just seems a daft made up name.'

And if you are Christian it's a metaphorical place name, not a human name

Clio - it's ok
Lottie - not sure I can imagine a 45 year old called Lottie I would bake Charlotte and use Lottie as Ann.
Cecily- Don't like this
Eden - nice
Florence I love but definitely Flossy. Flo is an 80yr old woman
Emily - I've never liked this but is very popular so I'm the minority!

Clio - may as well call her Renault.
Lottie - sounds like a pudding and overused.
Cecily - pretty name
Eden - unless you a religious it just seems a daft made up name.
Florence (Flo) - yes to Florence but no to flo. I dislike traditional names being shortened to sound modern.
Emily (Em/Ems) - yes to Emily but no to the shortened version for same reason as above.

Just my humble opinion

I like Eden

Love the name Eden for a girl.

Lottie (not Charlotte) would be my second choice

Cecily or Clio

Clio - pretty, but I prefer the spelling Cleo, this one makes me think of the car.
Lottie - I really don't like it, sorry. There's nothing wrong with it, it's just a name that I personally don't like the look or sound of
Cecily - I love it! This is my favourite one. I'd use it in a heartbeat, so so pretty!
Eden - also lovely, I went to school with an Eden, she was part Filipino and absolutely beautiful and the name just seemed to fit her.
Florence (Flo) - agree with the person who mentioned Aunt Flo, Florence is pretty though. I know a little Florence who gets called Floss/Candy Floss and it's adorable
Emily (Em/Ems) - Emily is timeless and Em was one of my favourite names for years. As a kid I had a doll called Emily (Em) and when I was a teenager I was convinced that if I ever had a daughter I'd call her Emily or even just Em. I didn't end up calling my daughter that but it's still a great name!

Eden is lovely.

Clio spelt that way makes me think of that car. I feel the other names are old fashioned, unless that's what you're aiming for then , ok. Eden is lovely though

Clio - nice and although this is the Classical Greek spelling I prefer Cleo.
Lottie - as literally everyone else has said, Charlotte is a better choice for the BC so that she has a choice when older. If she learns her name as Lottie and can only spell Lottie to start with, that's fine! She can learn Charlotte later. No one is going to force her to write it!
Cecily - pretty
Eden - no. Seems like a chav boys name to me.
Florence (Flo) - ok but a bit overused imo.
Emily (Em/Ems) - duulllllll

Florence is lovely, Emily OK, prefer Charlotte shortened to Lottie, Clio car spelling, Cecily a bit frilly, dislike Eden.

Clio - Renault
Lottie - not keen, but like Carlotta with Lotta for short and you could also use Lottie
Cecily - lovely, also Cecilia
Eden - not keen
Florence (Flo) - love Florence, Flo not so much
Emily (Em/Ems) - really like, a classic

I like Florence, Cecily (prefer Cecilia) and Lottie, in that order. I've known a Lottie since she was born - when she went to university she opted for her full name of Charlotte because she wanted to be seen as more serious and grown up. She also had the option of staying as Lottie, obviously.

Clio- I like this, although it was the name of my ex's cat. Won't be a problem for most people though!

Lottie (Don’t want to use Charlotte as we don’t want it to be confusing for her when she learns her name as the connection between Lottie and Charlotte isn’t very obvious for a toddler with a different starting letter) - she really won't find this confusing. Thousands of Lotties before her have managed. Lottie is very pretty but it is a nickname, it shouldn't be her christened name.

Cecily - very pretty

Eden - don't really like this, it's a bit too made up for my tastes

Florence (Flo) - again, very pretty and not too common

Emily (Em/Ems) - bit dull imo and I don't like the nicknames much.

Clio - really like. Think I prefer Cleo spelling.
Lottie - lovely. Prefer to Charlotte. My sister is registered Kitty, not Katherine and there’s nothing bad that’s come from that.
Cecily - pretentious
Eden - don’t like at all
Florence (Flo) - nice, quite popular
Emily (Em/Ems) - so bland and overdone!

Clio - ok
Lottie (Don’t want to use Charlotte as we don’t want it to be confusing for her when she learns her name as the connection between Lottie and Charlotte isn’t very obvious for a toddler with a different starting letter) - ok
Cecily - ok. Makes me think of Cecily Parsley
Eden - meh
Florence (Flo) - ok
Emily (Em/Ems) - boring, too popular

Emily, and Florence. I agree with other posters, Charlotte on bc.

I like Florence

I think they’re all very sweet with the exception of Eden (no idea why I dislike it but I do).

Cecily is my favourite from your list.

My favourite is Cleo but only with an e, otherwise it’s the car.

I have a Lottie who is a Charlotte and it's never been an issue, she's 15 now.
Of your others I think that Cecily is lovely.

But she is only going to be a toddler for a very short time. She will be an adult much longer and may prefer not to have to introduce herself by such a...youthful name.
