Renee is a lovely name ( but prefer this spelling)
Geneva is also really nice
Not keen on the others

I really like Indigo and Raina. Bea is nice too, though I'd prefer it as a short form for Beatrix.

Poetryinaction · 20/09/2019 00:09

Um. Bea is ok.

I love Indigo, Oakley and Geneva best 😁

Don't like any of them, sorry.

Of your list, I'd go for Geneva (though you might find people assume it's a place of conception name - would that bother you? If so, perhaps Ginevra instead?)

Renae and Raina - strongly prefer the usual spellings

Bessie and Bea - still more of a nickname than an actual name, but do like Bessie

Indigo - too like Inigo, and weird association with Indigo children
Oakley - sunglasses

I like Rayna. Not the way you've spelt it. It's a regal name and very pretty. Not keen on the others. Indigo is quite nice.

I really like Indigo and Renae.

Bessie and Bea and nice nicknames for Elisabeth and Beatrice.

Really not keen on the others

SoftSheen · 19/09/2019 21:10

Having thought about it, Geneva is actually nice too :)

SoftSheen · 19/09/2019 21:08

Indigo- a colour, not a name...
Renae- I prefer the traditional Renee spelling
Oakley- awful, just don't
Bessie- Nice, if you put Elizabeth on the birth certificate
Raina- I prefer Raine, which is unusual and interesting
Bea- Nice, if you put Beatrice on the birth certificate
Geneva- Ginerva (an Italian name) would be nice
