Ailsa is really beautiful

Charlotte - a classic beautiful name, but she’ll be one of many at school
Clara - ok but a little plain for my liking
Harriet - I like this but don’t like Hattie as nn, Etty or Etta might be ok
Saoirse - I love this, beautiful name but you/she will forever have issues with people incorrectly pronouncing it and spelling it
Alexis - my favourite, nn Lexi very cute
Ailsa - don’t like, it sounds too much like Elsa to me (Frozen - bleurgh!)

Thanks everyone!

Saoirse is pronounced Sir-sha, and Ailsa Ale-sa. One is Irish and one is Scottish (we come from both!).

I like Charlotte. Classic and classy and I've not actually met any yet.
I hear Clara everywhere I go these days, even though on paper it's not super popular yet. I'm betting on a big rise in it this year due to Disney's Nutcracker releasing last Christmas.
Harriet is lovely. I'd shorten to Hattie
How do you pronounce Saoirse?
Alexis is nice, I'd shorten to Lexi
How do you pronounce Ailsa?

Like the first four, dislike Alexis (am old enough to remember Dynasty) and Ailsa (ditto vintage Home and Away - seriously, just don't like either name). Alexandra is fabulous, though.

Clara is my stand-out favourite (pron Clahra to be international). I never used to like Harriet but it's been growing on me since I read Harriet the Spy with my dc.

Hmm, I like them all. Some (Charlotte in par) are more common (as in you hear them very frequently, not 'common as muck' common) - does that matter to you?

If you like Ailsa, do you like Fiona, Iona, or Mairi?

Saorse would have a lifetime of spelling and correcting pronunciation ahead of her.
