Georgina, Imogen then Lucy 😊

Imogen was one of my faves from your longlist (along with Esther and Inés) so my vote is with Imogen. I also love Anaïs, though you'll get people pronouncing it incorrectly, so you have to decide if that would bother you.

Georgina strikes me as incongruous with your other choices (and is my least fave, not that that should matter to you!), because it's a bit longer/frillier than the others. Which of course if you like it is apropos of nothing.

I think we’ve narrowed it down to Imogen, Georgina and Zoe. However, now dp has decided he likes anaïs (with or without accent) so that it getting added.

Esther - really dislike. Ugly sounding.

Briony - very lovely

Lucy - also lovely

Zoe - not my cup of tea but Ok.

Aleiah - dislike

Marley - sounds like a boy's name.

Inés - I can't help wondering if having a name with an accent in it will be a colossal pain in the backside.

Imogen - popular with Mumsnetters but personally I think it's quite ugly sounding.

Imogen by a total mile because I love it
Lucy is nice too though
Georgina sounds like the boy name George with frill added - dont like it . It also sounds like Orangina!

Narrowed down to Lucy, Imogen and Georgina, which one is your favourite?

OP posts:
TiptopJ · 02/06/2020 14:17

I like all of them except

Esther- still seems too old lady
Marley- okay for a surname or a dog
Ines- seems a bit try hard to me

DramaAlpaca · 02/06/2020 13:21

Lucy, Zoe and Georgina are my favourites.

Least favourite are Aleiah and Marley.

123Dancewithme · 02/06/2020 13:19

Esther and Georgina are my favourites.

notalwaysalondoner · 02/06/2020 13:18

Esther - I love it, classic and sophisticated without being common
Briony - one of my favourites
Lucy - bland, very popular in the 90s
Zoe - don’t like
Aleiah - don’t like and the spelling is weird, I’d go for Alaiah or Aaliyah
Marley - just reminds me of the dog in that film, don’t like it
Inés - lovely, may have spelling issues if you include the accent
Imogen - one of my favourites in this list

justanotherparent1810 · 02/06/2020 12:08

Love Lucy, Marley and Imogen

merryhouse · 02/06/2020 10:01

Esther, Briony, Lucy, Zoe - all passably ok, Esther probably my favourite

Georgina - not massively keen, not sure why
Aleiah - pretty, but I'd go for a different spelling
Marley - isn't that a dog?
Inés - only if you have links to that language (and even then, the accent looks odd)
Imogen - always thought this was ugly

DoctorBambino · 02/06/2020 09:54

Esther - I'm not keen, too old lady for my tastes
Briony - dont like it
Lucy - love it, pretty and sophisticated
Zoe - its ok
Aleiah - lovely

Georgina - not keen
