Hermione
Violet
Melody
Maisie

I always thought I'd go with violet but I don't know if it's getting to popular now

Help!

Hermione - lovely. Yes it will be associated with HP but she was a pretty good character to be named after - strong, clever, independent.
Violet - lovely. Well known without being hugely popular
Melody - not keen at all. Elodie is much prettier.
Maisie - not keen. Too many of them.
Zara - it's ok. I think of the shop. Cara is nicer in my view.

I would go with Hermione or Violet.

I think Violet is the most beautiful.

We are calling DD Violet. It is popular but I have only ever “known of” one Violet in my area, so that doesn’t put me off.

Hermione and Zara are my favourites.
I'm not keen on the others. I dislike Violet and Maisie. I have never known an actual person with the name Melody. Its ok. I think it will be shortened to Mel though.

Hermoine just reminds me of Harry Potter
Violet- I love
Melody not keen on but I had a doll named it as a child so maybe that's why
Maisie I love but not sure what a adult would be like called Maisie, more a child's name
Zara- I love as you don't hear it much these days

Whatsyourflava · 09/06/2020 20:45

Hermione dislike - too frilly
Violet - love love love - favourite- never met one
Melody - it's ok . Dated and I'd say the modern equivalent is Elodie which is could get misheard for
Maisie - love love love
Zara - love love love

Maisie or Zara

MondeoFan · 09/06/2020 20:01

I like them all except Maisie.

SatsukiKusakabe · 09/06/2020 20:01

I think they’re all nice but I know a Hermione and a Maisie but none of the others so maybe not all that popular.

Violet’s my favourite.

'They are all fine. Just pick the one you like the best'

😂 They should close the baby name section and just put this instead.

Wolfgirrl · 09/06/2020 19:59

Violet is my favourite. Zara is okay. Hermione is hideous, it will be forever associated with HP.

userabcname · 09/06/2020 19:57

I love the name Hermione, hands down my favourite. Zara is quite nice too. I'm not a massive fan of Maisie but every Maisie I know is absolutely lovely so I have very positive associations with it!

AdaColeman · 09/06/2020 19:54

Zara & Violet are my favourites.
Not keen on the others at all.

NannyR · 09/06/2020 19:53

I love Zara and Maisie. Not keen on Violet or Melody at all. Hermione is a nice enough name.

MintyMurray17 · 09/06/2020 19:51

Hermione and Violet are stunning choices. Zara is nice too. I'm less keen on Melody and Maisie.

CuppaZa · 09/06/2020 19:46

Hermione - 2/10
Violet - 7/10
Melody - 5/10
Maisie - 0/10
Zara - 2/10

NuffSaidSam · 09/06/2020 19:46

I like Zara best.

Maisie is really sweet, but I don't think it passes the grown up test for me.

Violet is nice, but it is too popular and I don't like any of the nicknames/pet names.

Not keen on Hermione or Melody, a bit too fussy/girly.
