Hi, I was wondering about peoples thoughts on these names- Joni, Eloise, Grace, Julia or Lucy. Which would be a fave?

Joni- not keen, Eloise- love it, Grace- nice name but quite popular, Julia- no, feels too middle aged or Lucy- yep this is good

Julia

Eloise

Jellycat00 · 13/10/2019 04:45

Julia is lovely! Joni is quite nice too.

Joni.... love this, super cute baby name and has a kind of sophisticated, quirky feel for teen/adult. I like Eloise too. Not keen on Julia!

Shadow1234 · 11/10/2019 02:50

Eloise or Elise as an alternative

TilandPop · 10/10/2019 23:42

Julia is beautiful

123Dancewithme · 10/10/2019 23:42

I know a 1 year old Joni.

Julia is my favourite from your list.

17caterpillars1mouse · 10/10/2019 20:58

Joni - I grew up with a Joni who always came across as very strong and a bit quirky. I like it

Eloise - not a fan, it makes me think of a kid that is snotty and obnoxious

Grace - I like it. Such a classic. My sil's sil has just had a little girl named Grace

Julia - not a fan at all

Lucy - lovely classic. I love it

I would go with Joni or Lucy I think, though I really like Grace too (just not as a middle name)

I like Julia best out of the 3 in your most recent post.

Naomimi · 10/10/2019 17:07

Julia

Joni is so cute.
Like Joni Mitchell! ❤️

Of your final three, Julia.

I really dislike Eloise and much prefer Joan to Joni.

I like Joan. I think of Joan Collins and Joan Fontaine.
Joni is cute, as is Joanie.

Eloise is just another of the Ellie type names that have been overpopular.
Julia is classic but I know so many adult ones. Grace is nice but has become a filler middle name.

Millennial · 10/10/2019 10:16

Joni is lovely and not overused

MikeUniformMike · 10/10/2019 08:40

Lucy

Cbeebiesrehab · 10/10/2019 07:42

I love Joni, feels a bit quirky to me.

AverageMummy · 10/10/2019 07:25

Julia Lucy & Eloise are all fab

RoseMartha · 10/10/2019 07:13

I like Lucy, Julia and Grace

CampfireZen · 10/10/2019 07:13

Eloise or Lucy

I want to like Joni, as am a Joni Mitchell fan, but far prefer the Joanie spelling.

Maybe Joan, NN Joni?

Peachbubble · 10/10/2019 07:01

Grace or Lucy

IceCreamBrain · 10/10/2019 05:36

Eloise or Lucy.

I don't like Joni or Julia.
I like Grace but it's currently over-used imo.

MissHenty · 10/10/2019 05:36

My favourite is Lucy (absolute classic) or grace xx

roseaugusta · 10/10/2019 05:17

Julia, Eloise, and Grace (nn Gracie), but I prefer Juliet to Julia
