Flora, Rose or Daphne. I've never heard of the other two, and wouldn't have a clue how to pronounce Delancy! Not sure where the emphasis would be.

Lynda07 · 30/03/2020 16:10

Flora, Rose and Daphne for me.

NemophilistRebel · 30/03/2020 16:02

Flora and daphne are my favourites and they are both on my top 5 list too

I also like Nina and Leila

MustStopSnacking28 · 30/03/2020 16:00

Daphne was my beautiful Nanny’s name and she was the loveliest person. So that gets my vote!

GirlsInGreen · 30/03/2020 15:58

Daphne

Eucalyptusleaves · 30/03/2020 15:57

Love Flora and Rose. Maybe Flora a tiny bit more but both beautiful

Astronica · 26/03/2020 03:58

The order you have them. Flora and Rose are lovely, Daphne is okay, not keen at all on the others.

KittyJune · 26/03/2020 03:22

Flora first and then Rose. I don’t lkke the others especially Devyn and Delancey

POP7777777 · 26/03/2020 00:54

Rose. Elegant and sounds classy, whether young or old.

123Dancewithme · 26/03/2020 00:52

Daphne, Flora and Rose are all great.

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 25/03/2020 22:58

Daphne and Flora are pretty.

Ellmau · 25/03/2020 22:56

Rose, Flora and Daphne are all lovely. Delancy sounds very American and Devyn looks like the county spelt wrong.

Sybil can also be spelt Sibyl.

Pearl is pretty too!

But never heard of Sybil

Daphne is great. I'm sure iv spelt it wrong but I can't work out how. Maybe it's right
Delancy is shit. I keep thinking delaaaany, delinquency, delnancy

MrsMyreton · 25/03/2020 19:57

Flora! It is my daughters middle name Grin

Ikeameatballs · 25/03/2020 19:55

I don’t like the way Rose sounds in some accents so, whilst it’s otherwise a lovely name, that puts me off.

I prefer Daphne to Flora but like both a lot.

Not keen on the others.

bridgetreilly · 25/03/2020 18:14

I love Daphne. Definitely due for a comeback. I also like Flora. Not at all keen on the others.

DramaAlpaca · 25/03/2020 15:41

Daphne is gorgeous, as is Rose. Flora is quite nice too. I don't like the others.

WestCountryLady · 25/03/2020 15:24

Rose is beautiful, it's my dd middle name.

bonboncherrybon · 25/03/2020 15:20

Daphne and Flora are my top 2
I like Devon but not Devyn

TheVanguardSix · 25/03/2020 15:12

Daphne and Devyn are my favourites.

Have you considered Sybil or Pearl?

emmathedilemma · 25/03/2020 15:09

In the order you’ve written them.

Flymetothestars · 25/03/2020 14:51

Not Daphne. Shortening will inevitably be Daphe and that just sounds like Daft to me

Love Flora and Rose

user1493494961 · 25/03/2020 14:27

Flora or Rose, ditch the 'D' names.

userabcname · 25/03/2020 14:14

Daphne. Pretty and unusual.
