I love Alice, Emma and Lydia, but the rest I could take or leave tbh.

TranielleRadcliffe · 18/06/2020 09:38

Emma - nice but nothing special
Maeve - ok
Eloise - I don’t mind this
Emily - nice, classic
Kate - I would prefer this to be short for something
Anya - nice
Lydia - not keen on this but I’ve known several Lydias who’ve really annoyed me
Alice - a bit boring and wet imo
Emmaline - really dislike this

Of your choices, I’d go for: Emily, Kate, Eloise, Maeve and then Emma.

Emma - dull
Maeve - love but is on the upward trajectory, could end up the new Amelia
Eloise- love
Emily - dull
Kate - I like Kate, it's simple and pretty
Anya - not keen
Lydia - love
Alice - too popular
Emmeline - I like but they will end up being Em/Emmy which is a bit dull

Love Emma, Maeve and Alice

Katherine (Kate) is timeless, not dated at all. I like them all, I think Alice is my favourite and Eloise the least. There is a potential for Eloise to be shortened to Ellie, and Ellie's are everywhere.

Emma, Maeve, Kate & Alice are my favourites

lemonandthyme · 18/06/2020 08:44

I’d put Emmeline top (love nn Emme)
Then Maeve, Anya, Kate, Eloise, Lydia, Emma, Emily, Alice

All lovely names though!

Nobodysdiary · 18/06/2020 08:43

I like them all except Maeve. Not over keen on Lydia either.

Whatsyourflava · 18/06/2020 08:42

Emmaline is no where near as gorgeous as some of your other choices - too frilly

Emma, Maeve, Eloise, Emily, Anya and Alice are lovely
Kate is nice too but has dated more than the others (in my opinion based on looking at the official statistics over the last 20 years) and will sound like an uncool mum name to the next generation, unlike names like Emma which has held its appeal. A little Kate is likely to be the only one in her school but everyone will say to her "oh that's my 50 year old mums name" "that's my aunties name" "that's the dinner lady name"
