We are having a girl and have a list of names we need to whittle down.
I do quite like "unisex" names,; we also have an Irish connection so some of the names are a nod to that.
Please give me your thoughts on the below list!

Quinn
Cora
Coralie
Robyn
Aeryn
Farah
Felicity
Rowan
Aine (awn-ya)
Fallon
Darcey

Love Quinn, Robyn and Coralie!

MartiniDry · 24/10/2020 00:38

Cora and Robyn for me.

sukieinthegraveyard · 24/10/2020 00:10

We considered Rowan for a girl;. We chose an Irish name for our daughter instead, but still love Rowan. Like Willow but stronger sounding

sukieinthegraveyard · 24/10/2020 00:06

Robyn, Rowan and Coralie are beautiful names for a girl imo

MikeUniformMike · 24/10/2020 00:00

Quinn - looks like quim
Cora - removes middle bit of an apple
Coralie - corally
Robyn - not my taste
Aeryn - too similar to Erin, which I'm not mad about
Farah - arabic name. will get misspelt
Felicity - too prissy
Rowan - ok but so many similar boys' names
Aine (awn-ya) - you had to spell out the pronunciation, so prob a PITA
Fallon - ok, a bit 1980s
Darcey - dislike

Not keen on any of them. I think I'd pick Fallon but it makes me think of a fairly recent Secretary of State for Defence.

Oh I do like Coraline though to shorten to Cora!

Oneandabean · 23/10/2020 23:57

I like Cora, Aine and felicity. Not a fan of anything else, also see Rowan as boys name

*Coralie not Coraline, sorry, half asleep...

DramaAlpaca · 23/10/2020 23:51

Felicity is lovely.

I like Áine too, but if you are in the UK nobody will be able to pronounce it properly - everyone will say 'Onya'.

Kimblebee19 · 23/10/2020 23:50

I like Cora and Aeryn.
Personally not as keen on Coraline, but since you are you could have that as full name and shorten to Cora, then its a bonus two in one!

acerred · 23/10/2020 23:49

I like felicity best. Like a pp said all the Rowan's I know are male.

TildaTurnip · 23/10/2020 23:49

Quinn - too visually similar to quim
Cora - I like it
Coralie - prefer Cora
Robyn - Too masculine sounding
Aeryn - ok
Farah - no as too associated with one person
Felicity - really like this and it’s diminutives
Rowan - only know male ones so no
Aine (awn-ya) - like this
Fallon - really dislike. Felon and Talon pop into my head
Darcey - Arsy

Takethewinefromtheswine · 23/10/2020 23:48

Some of them are very 80s Americana. If I had to pick one, probably Robyn.

Kanaloa · 23/10/2020 23:46

Quinn - reminds me of quim, not keen
Cora - pretty and classic, like it a lot
Coralie - like it but prefer Cora as a bit simpler
Robyn - nice and solid
Aeryn - I would prefer Erin
Farah - not keen, seems a bit 80s
Felicity - very pretty
Rowan - nice, seems a bit boyish though
Aine (awn-ya) - not keen on the sound or spelling
Fallon - reminds me of Jimmy Fallon, don't like
Darcey - pretty and wearable, like this

ExemptFromMasksSupporter · 23/10/2020 23:45

Felicity

Sorry but I’m not so keen on these!
Robyn
Aeryn
Farah
Rowan
Aine (awn-ya)
Fallon
