@theory101

But Rosie and Violet sounds great !
Does it? I think that's worse Grin Plant-y AND paint-y!

Oh I think Rose and Fern is a bit too plant-y, yeah. Rose is a great choice for first name btw! I always hear of it as a middle but never as a first name.

Thanks everyone, so many different opinions / preferences! I already have a Rose (we call her Rosie) if that makes any difference, she's 6. Rosie and Fern might be too plant-y?!

My top three would be Freya, Olivia and Bella. I really dislike Evelyn/Everly and Elsie. Fern is quite nice and a bit more unusual if that's important to you.

Krazynights34 · 30/01/2021 20:13

Everly- wonderful! That name makes me smile

toolazytothinkofausername · 30/01/2021 20:11

I like how unique Everly is.

Maybemay123 · 30/01/2021 20:10

None are offensive I like
Fern
Olivia
Freya
Evelyn/ Everly
Elsie
Thea
(Elsie and Freya probably my favourite).
Not keen on Georgie, Bella and keira but that's just personal preference.

MBb217 · 30/01/2021 20:09

Olivia or Freya but lovely name list!

Bluesername · 30/01/2021 20:06

I like:
Keira
Olivia
Georgia (you can always use Georgie as nickname)
Elsie (as a nickname for Elspeth)

Freya and Fern are a bit wispy sounding. Eve/Evie/Ava/Eva names have been super-popular very recently.

TempsPerdu · 30/01/2021 20:04

Fern and Thea stand out for me too. I find Elsie, Georgie and Bella too cutesy/twee, and the others are a bit dull and overdone.

JiltedJohnsJulie · 30/01/2021 19:50

Not Olivia or Evelyn, they've both been a little too popular recently.

From your list I'd chose Fern or Thea.

Firebird83 · 30/01/2021 19:48

Fern

SionnachRua · 30/01/2021 19:44

Fern, Freya, Keira, Evelyn - all nice names
Olivia and Bella - both very bland, boring and generic
Elsie and Georgie - twee
Thea and Everly - don't like at all

I'd go for Fern or Evelyn from your list.

BackforGood · 30/01/2021 19:40

I like Thea

Smile
alphabetti · 30/01/2021 19:38

Thea Olivia (Surname) is what I’d pick from your list.
