Amber - chavvy
Rowan - plain
Sabrina - nice but will always make me think teenage which like PP have said
Cora - LOVE. Elegant, feminine.
Cordelia - old fashioned and not in a good way. Stuck up.
Daphne - okay, I'm not sure anyone under 75 should be called Daphne though. Also scooby doo.

Love Rowan for a girl

MadameDragon · 08/04/2022 22:03

I love Rowan for a girl. You might like Sorrel or Rumer.

Viviennemary · 08/04/2022 22:01

Amber ok
Rowan ok
Sabrina not keen
Cora nice
Cordelia not sure
Daphne awful

DramaAlpaca · 08/04/2022 22:00

Amber - it's OK, I consider it dated
Rowan - quite nice for a girl, don't like it on a boy
Sabrina - OK, a bit on the frilly side for me
Cora - this one is starting to grow on me
Cordelia - I find this one clunky
Daphne - my favourite by a long way. I never liked it, then it started to grow on me, now I adore it

MissyB1 · 08/04/2022 21:54

Amber - I like it
Rowan - hmmm not keen on it for a girl.
Sabrina - yeah teenage witch
Cora - I know it’s popular but I think it sounds harsh
Cordelia - love it!! I would shorten to Delia
Daphne - Love it!!

chubbachub · 08/04/2022 21:41

Amber - i think of teen mom
Rowan - atkinson
Sabrina - teenage witch

StopFeckingFaffing · 08/04/2022 21:33

Great list

Rowan, Daphne or Amber would be my choice but I like them all

I prefer Serena to Sabrina

Electrox · 08/04/2022 21:32

I like Amber best. I prefer Rowena to Rowan and Serena to Sabrina. I quite like Cordelia and Daphne, but am not keen on Cora (apple corer).

Amber
Rowan
Sabrina
Cora
Cordelia
Daphne

Amber - sorry but I've always hated this name. Just always seems tacky to me. Probably because I was at school with Amber and Chelsea sisters....
Rowan - nice. A bit too popular for boys for me to love it for a girl. I much much prefer Rowena.
Sabrina - it's ok. Teenage witch.
Cora - ok
Cordelia - gorgeous!!
Daphne - ok

NuffSaidSam · 08/04/2022 21:27

I love Rowan.

I like Amber, it's underused imo.

I like Cora, but prefer Clara.

I'm not keen on Sabrina (teenage witch), Daphne (from Frasier, and just sounds like the name of a daft character in a book) or Cordelia (such an ugly sounding name!).

TenThousandSpoons · 08/04/2022 21:24

Oh sorry I forgot Daphne. This is my favourite on your list.

TenThousandSpoons · 08/04/2022 21:23

Amber - I like but it’s a bit 2005
Rowan - not keen
Sabrina - teenage witch
Cora - ok. Prefer Clara
Cordelia - very posh
Daphne
