Honor and Saskia are both lovely.

Carouselfish · 25/01/2020 10:43

Imogen has always sounded medicinal to me. I like Elise, Honour and Saskia.

HeronLanyon · 25/01/2020 10:04

Imogen.

mamablondie · 25/01/2020 10:03

Freja (though I prefer Freya) would be my no.1 but it just does go with our surname.

Other than that I think Imogen is beautiful.

Poorolddaddypig · 24/01/2020 05:22

Saskia, Elise or Imogen

Krazynights34 · 23/01/2020 21:18

Elise and Sakia and Honor all nice names!

user1493494961 · 23/01/2020 20:55

Imogen.

TatianaLarina · 23/01/2020 14:07

Imogen and Honor are the stand outs.

I know two awful Allegras so that put me off.

MrsCantthinkofaname · 23/01/2020 12:59

Love Elise!

dairyfairies · 23/01/2020 06:08

Imogen.- by far the best on your list. great name!

littlealexhorne · 16/01/2020 23:21

I like Freja, Saskia and Imogen. Also Alicia but dependings on pronunciation, I only like it pronounced A-Lee-Sia

OverthinkingThis · 16/01/2020 17:08

Elise or Imogen

Also love Ines, but not the Inez spelling

Urkiddingright · 16/01/2020 11:28

Inez.

notalwaysalondoner · 15/01/2020 18:50

Great list!!

Alicia - ok, would you pronounce it ‘alissia’ or ‘aleesha’? I’ve heard both but only like the first one.
Allegra - lovely, unusual although could be seen as a bit pretentious
Honour - spell it Honor but love it
Inez - prefer Ines, I think unless you have a Spanish connection it’s a strange choice
Elise - ok
Saskia - love it
Freja - prefer Freya, lovely name
Imogen - lovely classical name

OK, if I had to pick one it would be really hard but I think I would go for Saskia.

Another big fan of Imogen here!

PlantPotting · 15/01/2020 08:29

You have some beautiful choices

Chocmallows · 14/01/2020 15:10

Elise or Freya

Nofoolfornoone · 14/01/2020 15:07

Alicia is beautiful when pronounced “Alice-ey-yah”

confusedyoungthing · 26/12/2019 17:56

I like Saskia and Imogen the most, Elise is nice too :)

thr33andme · 25/12/2019 22:43

Elise/Imogen.

FreshHorizons · 25/12/2019 22:33

Imogen

lilybunnyc · 24/12/2019 00:28

I love Allegra! We considered it for our daughter, but we are American and it’s the name of a common allergy medicine.

eryn6556 · 24/12/2019 00:27

elise or imogen from me!

kimlo · 24/12/2019 00:25
