My favourite is Felicity followed by Emmeline

Charlesandfred · 14/10/2019 17:49

My niece is Francesca. Lovely name x

Inlovewitharagorn · 14/10/2019 17:46

Tamsyn - Tamsin is lovely. Most names look worse with a y than an i in my opinion (where there's a choice. I don't mean Ivy and Ivi!!)
Savannah - don't like at all. Susannah is lovely. Savannah feels a bit tacky (and I know the Queen has a great granddaughter called this but it still feels like that to me).
Ember - I have a soft spot for this because I knew a nice one. But I don't really like it as a name.
Freya - lovely. Very popular but very nice.
Emmeline - gorgeous.
Elodie - lovely
Francesca - feels very 70s/80s to me. Also the nn's are not pretty
Talitha - nice but I prefer Tabitha. Sweet though.
Azalea - don't like at all. Sounds like a road name (Azalea Drive?)
Tegan - really don't like at all
Felicity - lovely

Emmeline, Felicity, Elodie or Freya for me

StroppyWoman · 14/10/2019 17:38

Lots of lovely names on that list. I like Tamsin, Emmeline, Freya and Francesca best. Felicity is also nice.
Sorry, OP, Azalea and Tegan are awful.

mapleleafshiba · 14/10/2019 17:32

Freya or felicity are lovely

NoSauce · 14/10/2019 17:29

Got to be Felicity! It’s the best by far.

Emmeline is awful and Emmy is even worse, which I think is what she’d get.

Clayplease · 14/10/2019 17:08

Also Emmeline, Emmy and Em are all lovely names, don't think you can go wrong with that really. We discussed Ember for ours but I'd be worried people would mis hear it as Amber and you'd be constantly correcting it.

Clayplease · 14/10/2019 17:05

I really love Ember. Don't think I'm in the majority with this though! But maybe that's a good thing if you don't want a really popular name. We went with an unusual name for our second child and I'm really happy we did. (My name is unusual too and I've always liked that).

TwoPupsandaHamster · 14/10/2019 17:02

I don't like any of them tbh. At a push I'd go with Freya. I liked Elodie a few years ago. Too many Elodies's around now.

MissPepper8 · 14/10/2019 16:56

Freya was top on our list (maybe second now), it's been my favourite name for a girl for years and years.

The rest aren't really me but theres something different about Felicity too that I like.

123Dancewithme · 14/10/2019 16:21

Emmeline or Talitha

Doilooklikeatourist · 13/10/2019 22:11

Oops , missed the last few
Talitha no , but I like Tabitha
Azalea .... it’s a plant
Tegan , absolutely awful
Felicity ❤️ Love this

Doilooklikeatourist · 13/10/2019 22:09

Tamsyn prefer Tamsin
Savannah ✅ yep like this
Ember no , awful
Freya ✅ classy , like this
Emmeline meh
Elodie no

I love Freya

Fairybobbin · 13/10/2019 22:00

All such lovely options! I can understand why your stuck!

I liked all of them!
But I would say, Elodie, Emmeline and Fraya are my personal favourites.
Tamsyn - agree with Tamsin
Talitha and Azalea - these may cause confusion with pronoucition and spelling
Doesn't seem like you can go wrong with any of these Smile

honeybunlatte · 13/10/2019 20:48

Ember
Freya
Emmeline
Elodie
Francesca

MrsBertBibby · 13/10/2019 20:33

Tamsyn : gorgeous but spell it right please
Savannah : hideous
Ember : dreadful
Freya : meh.
Emmeline : prefer Emilienne
Elodie : naff
Francesca : dislike
Talitha : lovely but how are you pronouncing?
Azalea : ugh
Tegan : not keen
Felicity : loathe.

Frith2013 · 13/10/2019 18:54

Tamsyn - would be nice if spelled correctly
Savannah - ok
Ember - no. Makes me think of putting logs on the fire.
Freya - ok
Emneline - ok, just not to my taste
Elodie - no
Francesca - fine
Talitha - sounds like you can’t say Tabitha properly
Azalea - no
Tegan - definitely no
Felicity - nice name, but a spiteful girl at my school.

CravingCheese · 13/10/2019 18:53

Francesca Emmeline would be gorgeous imo...
