Cicely - I love Cecily but not quite as keen on Cicely. It might grow on me if I knew one though
Rosanna - I'm not keen
Alice - nice, safe, predictable but pretty
Lucia - I really like this but the pronunciation issues would definitely put me off
Scarlett - it's ok. I prefer it with one t.
Helena - lovely
Tansy - not at all keen
Thea - absolutely love this.

I would go for Thea, Helena or Cicely.

Of those I would only pick Helena (my middle name!) or Alice.

Cicely and Rosanna.

Don't like the others.

emmathedilemma · 08/06/2021 14:16

Alice is streaks ahead of the others for me.
Scarlett and Thea are both ok but seem quite popular.
Cicely - do you mean Cecily??
The others I don't like at all.

Posieandpip · 08/06/2021 13:35

Or Scarlett!

Posieandpip · 08/06/2021 13:34

I'd choose Alice or Tansy

Posieandpip · 08/06/2021 13:34

Oops! Forgot Thea. Which I used to love but agree with a pp that now its so popular it does seem a bit... Insubstantial. It's one of those names that would be gorgeous if rare but loses its charm when so popular.

Posieandpip · 08/06/2021 12:36

Cicely - I like it but prefer Cecily
Rosanna - pretty
Alice - pretty
Lucia - i like it pronounced Loo-see-uh which i know is incorrect. Don't like loo-chee-uh
Scarlett - pretty and fiesty
Helena - i like nn Nell
Tansy - prerry and rare
Thea

Alice 10 - love. Timeless classic.
Scarlett 9.5 - lovely. Suits all ages. Pretty but cool. Not too popular.
Roseanna 7.5- lovely. I'd use nn Anna- which I love.
Helena 6.5 - Pronunciation issues. Lane-a or len-a. Otherwise nice.
Cicely 6- Ok. Different although rising in popularity I think.
Thea 4 - a bit of a nothing name to me. More a sound. A bit faddy at the mo.
Lucia 3 - No
Tansy 1- Definitely No.

HeronLanyon · 08/06/2021 10:11

Cicely - like it but know a great one which helps. No3
Rosanna - 5 prefer Rosemary.
Alice - good name but ‘overused’ ? 4
Lucia -no 1 along with Lydia I like this a lot.
Scarlett - joint 6
Helena - no 2 some pronunciations issues may be a pita?
Tansy - bit ‘wet’ ? Not a strong name. Joint 6
Thea - joint 6 although I’m a bit mixed about this ranking.
Congrats and good luck op.
