Hello! This is my first time posting but hoping for some help with baby girls name which I’m really struggling with and don’t have long to go! We’re looking for something strong and feminine, not too out there but not too 10 either. So far we’re thinking:

Eleanor nn Elle
Elodie
Evelyn
Imogen

Would love to hear any thoughts on those. Or any other suggestions. Thank you!

I would pick Imogen but like all apart from Evelyn!

All nice apart from Evelyn.

Like all of them

Imogen is lovely, but very popular (which may not bother you).

I like Ilsa.

stophuggingme · 01/02/2020 11:28

Love them all

Also love Inez, Imelda and Eilidh (provinces ay-Lee)

Ricekrispie22 · 01/02/2020 11:22

How about:
Eliza
Edith (nn Edie)
Emilia

MerryGrinch · 01/02/2020 09:49

I'd choose Imogen.

Ada
Frida

Personally I’d pick imogen x

Whatsyourflava · 01/02/2020 09:15

Imogen Evelyn or Elodie are all so GORGEOUS 🥰

Imogen and Evelyn are my favourites. I really don't like Elodie. I don't think it sounds strong at all, to me it is twee and girly.

Elouera · 01/02/2020 07:14

From your list I like:
Imogen, then
Evelyn (could be Evie)
Eleanor (fairly common in women age 30's)
Elodie- simply because I'm unsure how its pronounced?

All feminine and classic type names.

I love Elodie and Evelyn. I am a big fan of Eleanor too but maybe Nell for nn - Elle is very popular, along with Ellie and Ella by me is number one nn.

Loving Eleanor and Imogen

Both on my list but unfortunately don’t think husband will go for them... 👎
