ThinkForAMinute · 28/03/2022 22:06

Anna is my favourite.

Marty13 · 28/03/2022 21:42

Forgot to add, Eliza and Tessa are my favourites because Tessa is a bit unusual and I like the rhythm and flow of Eliza.

dollydimple123 · 28/03/2022 21:42

Lucy or Rosie

Caramelcap · 28/03/2022 21:42

Alice or Lucy

Not keen on the rest

Maria least favourite

Marty13 · 28/03/2022 21:41

Eliza - Okay

Maria - too common and overused, that makes it a bit bland for me

Tessa - Fine

Lucy - Fine, I like the meaning (light)

Louisa - prefer Louise

Alice - fine

Anna - a bit too common and simple for my taste. Prefer Anya.

Rosie - that's a nickname, I'd put Rose on the birth certificate. In fact I'd probably put something longer like Rosalyn.

If I had to pick I'd say my favourites are Tessa or Eliza, my least favourites are Maria (so so common) and Rosie (sorry I know it's in fashion but can't stand diminutives in place of a real name, also not keen on flower names).

New30 · 28/03/2022 21:39

Very similar to my list and I’m sue in 5 days. I really like Izzy, And Jenny too. Sorry no help!

Maria and Anna favourites.
Lucy and Rosie least favourites - although nice, I've known several adults with these names who didn't suit them at all, which puts me off.

Tessa! Watch the film Now is Good. The lead is named Tessa and her boyfriend graffitis the name Tessa all over the town. It's v romantic. Love the name.
