Anna, Laura, and Isobel are my favorites! Though the pronunciation confusion over Isobel might bug me.

The only ones I dislike are Lotta and Amy.

babbaloushka · 17/02/2021 09:44

I love Lotta and Juliet, shame it just sounds like 'lot of'.

CaffiSaliMali · 17/02/2021 09:30

They're all nice. Juliet and Tessa are my favourites. I like Amy, Anna and Isobel a lot although prefer Isabel spelling.

wizzler · 17/02/2021 08:33

Laura, Juliet, Kate are my favourites

Amdone123 · 17/02/2021 08:28

Anna is beautiful.
Your others are ok, not really names I go for. Anna is a classic.
I don't like Tess. I've never liked Sophia.

DotDotDotDotDot · 17/02/2021 07:40

Isobel, Juliet and particularly Tessa are all gorgeous. The rest are either dull or dated.

Ithinkhedidit · 17/02/2021 07:28

Juliet is probably my favourite from that list. I also like Isobel.

Cpl1586407 · 17/02/2021 07:02

Fav is Tessa, not mad about Lotta

rainbowstardrops · 17/02/2021 06:59

Amy is my favourite.

llamafarmers · 17/02/2021 06:50

Juliet or tessa

hulloall · 17/02/2021 06:33

Like Isobel the best x

PickettWhiteFences · 17/02/2021 06:31

Tessa is my favourite by a country mile, also like Anna.

I like Isobel but spelling and pronounciation could be a pain in the arse. I was at school with both a Isabel and Isobel and they always had to emphasise the 'o' for Isobel.

Not keen on the rest, Amy, Kate and Laura seem a bit dated. Emily and Sophia have been done to death. Juliet is ok. Lotta isnt really a name is it? Makes me think of Lotto.

SmeleanorSmellstrop · 17/02/2021 03:59

Love Tessa and Juliet. Like Lotta but I think it has a horrible meaning as I looked into it before. 'Manly' maybe 🤔

The others are a bit boring.

Smallonesaremorejuicy · 17/02/2021 01:51

Juliet seems the nicest , some of your names are a bit old fashioned, but not in the current old lady type names. Please don’t choose Kate or Katie , so so many of them .

Firebird83 · 17/02/2021 00:20

Anna

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 16/02/2021 22:32
  1. Amy - sounds a bit cute, but nothing really wrong with it
2.Anna - simple, classic, international, can't go wrong
  1. Isobel - gorgeous but spelling issues
  2. Emily - fine, just not a fave
  3. Juliet - elegant, beautiful, romantic, very underused
  4. Kate - I only like as a nn for Catherine/Katharina
  5. Laura - shame it was overused in the 80's because its a pretty, poetic feeling classic
10. Lotta - may get " lot a .." jokes, but okay as a nn for Charlotte.
  1. Sophia - lovely but so popular/trendy now
5.Tessa - nice but I prefer the simple Tess or the traditional Teresa (nn Tess), Tessa is neither one nor the other really.
ShelleyI83 · 16/02/2021 22:16

Juliet is lovely x

SelfMadeFantasist · 16/02/2021 22:15

Anna and Juliet are both great names.

Lotta has enormous potential for teasing imho.

partyatthepalace · 16/02/2021 22:03

My top choices would be Anna, Kate (as long as an nn for Katharine or similar) or Tessa. All timeless classics, but not overused right now.

I also really like Sophia and Isabel but overused, quite like Emily but also overused.

Juliet and Laura are fine and not overused. Amy I don’t like, it’s just a bit girly and insignificant. Lotta I wouldn’t use as a name, fine as an nn for the (lovely but overused) Charlotte.

Standrewsschool · 16/02/2021 21:57

Love Amy and Laura.

Lotta - not heard of this before. Short for Charlotte?

Other names - all perfectly fine.

TempsPerdu · 16/02/2021 21:56

Tessa and Juliet are the standouts for me. Also quite like Anna but it’s very popular and would look for something a bit more specific.

Maybemay123 · 16/02/2021 21:42

Anna and Emily are my favourites.

Minnie6078 · 16/02/2021 21:41

See I love Lotta so sweet and a bit unusual but not to out there

CustardCreamm · 16/02/2021 21:40

Sophia is my favourite

MarshaBradyo · 16/02/2021 21:40

I like Anna
