I like Delilah.

Ava and Amelia are massively overused.

Love Claire!

Wickywoo1984 · 23/12/2021 18:23

I like Emerson best. The rest are nice names but really popular.

KirstenBlest · 23/12/2021 18:23

Emersyn sis awful sorry

From your list I like Claire, Amelia and Ava (although the last two are currently both very popular, which may bother you, or not).

Suggestions in a similar vein: seconding Adelaide. Emily? Eloise? Lucia? Elodie? Esme? Cassia? Eliza? Nia?

Brooke - not keen
Claire - too many Clare/Claires my age so no
Piper - no
Adelyn - awful
Riley- no
Peyton - awful
Ellie - overused
Elliana - Ellie stretched out but still Ellie
Macey/Macy - Msisie is better
Bailey - too unisex and about 15 years past it's peak.
Braelynn - hideous
Ava - dislike it

I love Piper.

BHX3000 · 23/12/2021 16:14

I really like Brooke, Riley, Ellie, Ava and Alyssa. Madison is also nice.

None of them are awful names so I don’t think you can go wrong with any of them. They’re a bit ‘American’ so might raise an eyebrow or two in some parts of the UK, if that bothers you at all. It wouldn’t bother me, they’re good names.

Piper.

Godzillaandgodzuki · 23/12/2021 16:12

Brooke and Piper were on my list and Autumn was number 1 if DS now 9 had been a girl.

Oatsamazing · 23/12/2021 16:12

I like Ava, strong, feminine and easy to spell.

I like Ava and Delilah.
Amelia and Ellie are extremely popular which would put me off even if I particularly liked them.
Brooke is ok.
The others I dislike.
