My sisters are both Lucy and Eva, so I think those are fabulous names!

Alice and Charlotte (nn Lottie) are my other two votes from your list.

pinkpinecone · 16/03/2021 17:35

Sadie, Thea or Alice

KirstenBlest · 16/03/2021 11:50

Sadie - don't like
Eva - don't like
Alice - favourite
Charlotte - like
Thea - don't like
Lucy - like

Edenember · 15/03/2021 17:15

Alice is my favourite, prefer Eve to Eva and Theia to Thea. They’re all nice - tough choice!

partyatthepalace · 14/03/2021 13:21

Sadie I really like, but only as a nn for Sarah

Otherwise, Charlotte is my favourite, Eva and Alice very nice, Lucy ok - these 4 all super popular obviously...

Don’t like Thea

VivaBahhumbug · 14/03/2021 12:25

Sadie - to be completely honest it conjures up images of a brassy, slightly rough working class woman with no class or style.

Eva - classy sounding but very overused at the moment.

Alice - classic, inoffensive, bit boring.

Charlotte - ditto

Lucy - classic, inoffensive, bit boring plus twee.

Thea - best of the bunch by miles.

Dottybirds · 14/03/2021 12:23

Love Sadie.
Others are a bit boring sorry

Dundustin · 14/03/2021 12:21

I have a Charlotte so I'm biased. She's known as Lottie most of the time.

Dundustin · 14/03/2021 12:20

Lucy and Charlotte are my favourites. I don't like Sadie at all, but the others are fine, just not what I'd choose.

daisypond · 14/03/2021 12:19

Out of those, Thea or Lucy.
I strongly dislike Charlotte.

Spied · 14/03/2021 12:15

Alice- Beautiful, timeless and suits all ages.
Sadie- Less common and a little different imo. Very pretty.
Eva - classical and graceful name.
The Evie/Ava similar vibe would discourage me possibly.
Lucy- A classic but for some totally irrational reason I think of it as a dog's name.
Charlotte- I know it's a very old name but it was very popular a while ago and it's dated it for me. A little 'meh'.
Thea- Not keen on the sound.

Happenchance · 14/03/2021 12:03

I love Sadie. I also like Thea but I struggle pronouncing "th"

Watchingthetelly · 14/03/2021 12:02

I really like Thea. I’m not based in the UK so can’t comment on potential overuse there. It’s a lovely name though.

Chilldonaldchill · 14/03/2021 09:36

Sadie and Thea are stunning and beautiful.
Alice, Lucy and Charlotte are lovely too but much more popular.
Eva is just so ubiquitous that I now rather dislike it and all the Eve/Evie/Evelyn names. But it's a perfectly nice name in itself.
I would pick Thea personally.

Bruce2 · 14/03/2021 07:54

Alice or Charlotte

The rest are perfectly lovely too but just a bit overused

MercyBodle · 14/03/2021 03:06

My favourites are Lucy and Alice. I dislike Sadie, and the others are all okay.

Tambourina · 13/03/2021 23:39

Sadie - no
Eva - nice
Alice - nice
Charlotte - nice
Thea - ok
Lucy - nice

VenusClapTrap · 13/03/2021 23:20

Love Thea

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 13/03/2021 20:20

6.Sadie - too nickname plus cutesy to me

  1. Eva - pretty, simple, international but popular
  2. Alice - lovely, timeless, can't go wrong
2.Charlotte - elegant, classic, can't go wrong 4.Thea - beautiful but may have pronunciation issues 5.Lucy -classic but cutesy imo
Frazzlefrazle · 13/03/2021 17:08

I love Sadie! I wish I had used it with my last daughter. Also slightly different is Zadie which I love too.

DramaAlpaca · 13/03/2021 17:08

I like them all apart from Thea.

polkadotjersey · 13/03/2021 17:06

I have a Sadie and so I'm biased! She's two and we've only met one other, who's eleven.

Of the others, Alice and Charlotte are my favourites but I don't dislike any of them.

Nell96 · 13/03/2021 17:02

Sadie - nice
Eva - pretty but overused. Also prefer the similarly popular Eve and Ava
Alice - classic
Charlotte - dull
Thea - nice, prefer Theodora with Thea or Dora as nn
Lucy - classic

MooseBreath · 13/03/2021 12:20

They're all fairly popular/common except Sadie, so I'd be tempted to go with that.

BarnacleB · 13/03/2021 11:58

Alice for me, although i can't say i dislike any of them.
