Thoughts on these names please. Just want to get a general idea on how our shortlisted names are perceived. Thanks!

Jean
Sadie
Rebekah
Deborah
Gretel
Zoe
Naomi

A bit of a mixed bag, but it's what we've come up with so far.

Love Naomi

SnowdropFox · 19/05/2020 10:44

Zoe and Naomie as my preferences

Jean - dated and boring
Sadie - has the words "sad" and "die" in it, also brings "sadist" to mind
Rebekah - don't like this spelling but Rebecca is fine
Deborah - very dated
Gretel - harsh and ugly (sorry)
Zoe - love it
Naomi - pronunciation issues, some people will say "nay-omi", some will say "nye-omi"

Jean - I dont like it sorry
Sadie - it's ok but a bit floppy
Rebekah - I quite like it but I never feel like people called Rebekah like their name
Deborah - nope
Gretel - sounds a bit harsh to me
Zoe - its ok
Naomi - my favourite from your list

Sorry that should say *with Jean as a middle name. Half asleep.

I like Zoe best, with Jean as a nickname

Favourite is Sadie followed by Naomi.
Gretel is ok but prefer Greta. Somehow it doesn't 'look' very pretty.
Jean is ok as a mn. Not keen as a first.
Zoe is very 80s/90s and very dated.
Rebekah is a bit boring and I don't like that spelling.
Deborah - see Zoe ( except more 70s). It also looks and sounds ugly and I hate Deb's/Debbie.

I like Sadie best.

Haven’t heard Jean in a while and don’t love it, but do like the nickname Jeanie you could use if you chose Jean.

Deborah feels a bit too my generation (born in the 70s or 80s).

Jean- not keen, find it a bit ugly
Sadie - like
Rebekah - love the name,? Spelling issues
Deborah - ok but i'm not keen on Debbie
Gretel - like
Zoe - like
Naomi - like and don't hear of many

Good luck OP - that is a varied list!
