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.
