A friend of mine is a longterm lurker on here(waves!) but nervous about posting so I said I'd do it for her.
She is expecting a girl and would like you to rate her shortlist please. I'm staying neutral in this post but she knows what I think!
Jemima
Zinnia
Merryn
Sapphire
Mn will be Elizabeth a family name. Cant be used as first name. Thanks.

Merryn.

Zinnia is lovely but doesn't work with Elizabeth. Jemima just screams 'Puddle-duck' to me even though it's a firm MN favourite. Sapphire is a gorgeous stone, but I'm not keen as a name.

I really like Merryn

Sapphire sounds horrible. Zinnia so-so. Merryn is nice, Jemima so-so.

I really like them all except Zinnia which I've not heard of before - but sounds ok too!

Merryn and Sapphire are especially lovely.

I quite like jemima and sapphire but I think jemima goes better with Elizabeth tbh

Jemina, I really like this
Zinnia, never hear d of it, not keen
Merryn, ok
Saphire, don’t like at all

They are all feel quite different to me, surprising as often people’s choices have a similar feel.
