Laureli - okayish. Drop the try-hard 'alternative' spelling.

Delphi - don't like. Sounds like a nickname. Or that shit hotel in Liverpool

Delilah - nice. Lots of nicknames you can use.

Phoebe - amoeba

Tallulah - cute. But only picture cute toddlers, vegan dreadlocked annoyance or an old cat loving aunt. Can't imagine a 30 year old 'normal' person.

Jemima - nice.

Doodlesquah1 · 28/02/2020 18:11

Delphi and Delilah are great

Spied · 28/02/2020 18:10

Only one I like is Delilah.

FreshFancyFrogglette · 28/02/2020 18:09

I love Tallulah. They are the sort of names that will get misspelt loads, not matter what. But if u can handle that then go for it.

Twelve8Ts · 28/02/2020 18:06

Delphi is lovely, saw it recently and really liked it! And it is a name btw @Bezalelle

MikeUniformMike · 28/02/2020 13:57

Laureli - Lorelei is the usual spelling, a bit OTT.
Delphi - Delphine is nice, Delphi makes me think of Adelphi, which is a nice name for a hotel or theatre
Delilah - dreadful
Phoebe - lovely
Tallulah - ok
Jemima - lovely

Quizeerascal · 28/02/2020 13:53

I prefer Lorelai too and Delphi reminds me of the food company. The others are great, I think Tallulah or Phoebe are my favourites

Nowayorhighway · 28/02/2020 12:30

Jemima is nice.

Bezalelle · 28/02/2020 11:41

Laureli - not a name
Delphi - not a name
Delilah - blowsy barmaid
Phoebe - gorgeous
Tallulah - blowsy barmaid
Jemima - rheumy-eyed posh lass

Milkwith1sugar44 · 28/02/2020 11:22

I like them all to be honest.
I think my favourite would be Delilah. I love it!
I also really like Phoebe.
Lorelei is beautiful too. I've only ever met one but it's unusual and pretty.

PlantPotting · 28/02/2020 10:11

Love Delilah phoebe or Jemima 🥰

BuffaloCauliflower · 28/02/2020 07:54

@Verily1 it’s pronounced like Laura-lie. Lie like you’re lying.

BuffaloCauliflower · 28/02/2020 07:53

They’re all lovely but you’re spelling Lorelei wrong. I’d probably choose that or Jemima from your list.

IHeartKingThistle · 28/02/2020 07:50

If you've seen Harry Potter and the Cursed Child you probably wouldn't use Delphi!

Verily1 · 28/02/2020 07:47

Is it laurel-ee or laurel-eye?

ldnstb123 · 28/02/2020 00:55

I have a Tallulah and I get compliments on her name from everybody that meets her and I've never met another one before either so I quite like that x

bridgetreilly · 27/02/2020 15:04

Laureli looks like you meant Laurel and accidentally typed an extra i. Do you mean Lorelei?

I love Delphi, Phoebe and Jemima.

Mamabear88 · 27/02/2020 13:00

Only like Phoebe

user1493494961 · 27/02/2020 11:07

Phoebe's nice, Jemima OK, the rest are too 'frilly' for my taste.

Wintersun13 · 27/02/2020 10:23

Laureli - like the sound but not sure about the spelling, I'd spell it Lorelei

Delphi - like the Oracle in ancient greece ? Ii like it but might get mispelled Delphine quite often

Delilah - like it but prefer Danila

Phoebe - not keen. I don't like the sound.

Tallulah - not super keen, prefer Tabitha. Too many L's and vowels

Jemima - don't love it.

Poorolddaddypig · 27/02/2020 06:08

LOVE them! Except Phoebe which just doesn’t seem as fab as the others. I especially adore Jemima, Lorelei and Talulah!

yatapina · 26/02/2020 23:37

Love Delilah.

Like Phoebe and Jemima.

Not keen on the others.

Astronica · 26/02/2020 23:35

Jemima is my favourite. I also like Phoebe.

123Dancewithme · 26/02/2020 23:00

Jemima or Tallulah

DramaAlpaca · 26/02/2020 22:57

I like Delilah, Phoebe and possibly Jemima.

I don't like the other three at all.
