Lovely name. Easy to spell and pronounce. Common enough not to be thought of as trying to hard to be different but likely not to be one of 4 in her class.

I love it.

I don't get the obsession with the name on MN, I'm not at all surprised to see an overwhelmingly positive response here, but I find the name sonically unpleasant and coarse.

It's simple and works great at any age. No one will mispronounce it or misspell it. I don't think it's too popular either.

I would definitely use it!

I really like it. Pretty but not frilly.

I love the name, was slightly put off as I have a bad association of an older adult I know of. I do love it though aside from that one niggle.

It feels very current to me. It seems to have stalled at around #150 in England and Wales, though I still see it frequently on name forums. I think it's fine as a name. Not one of my favourites, but not a bad choice.

Such a lovely name!!!!
