Freja
Imogen
Saskia

Rhubardandcustard · 23/12/2019 12:00

Elise or Freya

Enko · 23/12/2019 11:45

Allegra and Honor imo both under used names that are pretty and classic.

Ines is pretty and I have known lovely ones mostly in Germany though.

I do like Imogen or saskia at all

The others are all a bit too popular for my taste nice enough names I just prefer more unusual ones

Astronica · 23/12/2019 11:07

Saskia and Imogen are the standouts for me.

Also quite like: Allegra, Freja, Inez, Honour.

Perid0t · 23/12/2019 07:32

Imogen or freja.

LTEMercedes · 23/12/2019 07:29

Imogen or Inez xxx

Haz1516 · 23/12/2019 07:20

Love Alicia (as in al-lyss-i-a), so pretty sounding.
Imogen is also a favourite. Like all the others apart from Allegra and Saskia.

MrsBertBibby · 23/12/2019 07:17

Honor or Inez. Imogen in third.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 22/12/2019 23:29

Saskia or Alicia.

Poorolddaddypig · 22/12/2019 23:17

Saskia

RoseMartha · 22/12/2019 22:28

Top three of your names for me are:

Honor
Sakia
Elise

Modernhistorybuff · 22/12/2019 22:08

Alicia - I like this if it's Alissia but not Aleesha
Allegra - don't like
Honour - like it spelt Honor but not with the u
Inez - not keen
Elise - really not keen
Saskia - lovely
Freja - prefer it spelt Freya
Imogen - lovely

Saskia then Imogen then Honor for me...

AlpacaGoodnight · 22/12/2019 20:03

Saskia or Alicia

Rumbelow · 22/12/2019 16:13

I love Saskia, Honor (spelt like this) and Inez.

How about Ingrid?

Mumma4262 · 22/12/2019 16:10

Elise is beautiful.

WildCherryBlossom · 22/12/2019 15:49

It's a beautiful list. I prefer the spelling Ines (slightly softer). Imogen is the most popular I think, but still not heavily overused. There are 2 girls called Saskia at my DCs primary school but I think that is probably an unusual concentration as I can't think of any others. I never meet little Allegras and it is beautiful.

bridgetreilly · 22/12/2019 15:34

Honor, Imogen or Elise.

I think I like Imogen best of those three.

IVflytrap · 22/12/2019 15:31

Honour or Saskia

I have ancestors who spelt their name Honour, but Honor seems to be the more accepted spelling theses days.

PlantPotting · 22/12/2019 15:27

Imogen has always been one of my very favourite girls’ names and so different to other names ❤️

AryaNoOne · 22/12/2019 15:24

I love Alicia but pronounced Alissia not Aleesha and (whichever version you prefer) I think it will often be pronounced “wrong” so it came off our list.

Freja and Imogen are both lovely though I agree with PPs that there are a lot of Freyas.

ThinkPink71 · 22/12/2019 15:18

Alicia- love this makes me think of a beautiful tanned child
Allegra- dislike...only because I dont get it
Honour- no
Inez- no
Elise- like this...nice name for a cute girl
Saskia- reminds me of a porn star name...not sure why lol
Freja- Its okay...maybe abit overused?
Imogen- love this...makes me think of a really pretty girl

Madhatterhouse · 22/12/2019 15:17

Honor

PlantPotting · 22/12/2019 15:15

Freja is also gorgeous but I’d spell it Freya

PlantPotting · 22/12/2019 15:14

Imogen is my favourite from your list. It’s underused now in my view, no where near as common as it used to be 10 years ago. This is backed by by the official statistics too but also There’s none in my area around my daughters age (10 months)
