I love Freya!

IggyAce · 02/02/2022 18:24

I’d ditch Hetty reminds me of a hoover. Also ditch Isabella and Camilla if going with nn Milly because they are so popular and boring.
Astrid and Allegra get my vote.

HomeHomeInTheRange · 02/02/2022 18:22

I like
Hettie
Clementine

Would ditch
Allegra
Camilla (but like Millie)

I'd definitely spell Aleyna as Al (ay) na if it's the A sound you're wanting rather than E.

ladygindiva · 02/02/2022 18:19

Isabella and Freya and Aleyna ( I know an Elayna; I think i prefer that spelling, but would personally spell it Elena) are all nice, to me the others sound a bit pretentious.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 02/02/2022 18:19

Alayna is gorgeous. I can't find any fault with that.
I love Isabella but only as full name I can't stand Bella or Izzy.
I like the vibe of Astrid rather than the sound.
I don't like Florence but I can understand the hype. Its feminine pretty and elegant.
Camilla...Awful
Freya is okay. Again not a name I'd choose but I can see why its popular.
Allegra Awful
Hetty Awful and very frumpy
Clementine see Astrid.

Ohdoleavemealone · 02/02/2022 18:18

Camilla (would be shortened to Milly) - no

@Simpkins04

Also, forgot- Aleyna (pronounced A-lay-na)
Looks like an obnoxious spelling for Elena
HacerSonarSusPasos · 02/02/2022 18:16

Allegra - allergy drug. Nope
Camilla (would be shortened to Milly) - ok
Astrid - ok
Isabella (bella) - ok
Freya - nope
Florence - nope
Hetty - ok
Clementine - nope

GiantSpider · 02/02/2022 18:16

I'd ditch Allegra.

Clementine and Florence are my favourites.

I prefer Alana to Aleyna.

MarshaBradyo · 02/02/2022 18:15

Nice names

Not sure re Hetty

SummerBluez · 02/02/2022 18:12

Milly is my favourite, I don't like Camilla though.

lumpofcomfort · 02/02/2022 18:11

Astrid, Isabella, Freya for me. I think Aleyna would be frequently mis-pronounced as
Al-ee-na.

BunnyRuddington · 02/02/2022 18:09

Allegra.
