Emma, Alice, Lucy, Louisa and Maria

I really don't like the name Freya.

Emma is dull.

Alice and Maria are lovely. Beautiful, classic names. Rose, Lucy, Louisa and Eve also nice enough but I don't love them as much.

Emma
Louisa

In that order, the rest way too overused, except Maria which I just don’t like. Lucy is both wet and overused.

Stella, Honor, Esther, Marianne, Serena, Claudia, Verity, Cecile, Frances might be less popular options

Would use Emma and Alice. Lucy and Louisa are nice
Maria is ok but prefer Mary

I like Eve but Evie/Eva/Ava/Evelyn have been overused
Not keen on Rose and it's too popular as a middle name.
Not keen on Freya

I like Alice and Louisa best.

emma least. Find it a bit blah

Love Lucy ☺️ my daughter is Lucy.. I like Freya.. Love Nicole, Grace, Ava, Alex, Sophie, Leigha, Katie, Melissa

Or Evangeline?

If you like Eve then why not use Evelyn? Can be shortened to Eve but is 'different' enough despite being a classic name?

Favourites are Rose or Lucy.

The others are popular for a reason but perhaps a bit too popular for me.

Favourites: Alice (convinced this is due a comeback, such a good solid girls name without being fussy!) and Freya (I know two and they're both great which makes me love it)

I like Rose, classic and uncomplicated.

Really don't like: Emma, Lucy, Louisa (feel very 80/90s - I went to school with a million Emmas and Lucys, and Louisa just feels like it hasn't come back into style yet), Maria (feels old fashioned - makes me think of the Sound of Music haha).

For me first names are all rather wet and boring, especially Lucy, Alice and Emma. Sorry!!

Louisa and Maria I like better, Eve also nice. Not a fan of Freya but only because I don’t like the sound of it, Rose another no.

Same

Also I'd say Cecily is far from being a daring or outlandish name, if you like it use it !

Emma - sounds bland to me
Alice - it's okay, I prefer Alicia or Alix, and also it's really popular judging by MN.
Lucy - much prefer Lucia, lovely meaning either way
Louisa - prefer Louise but it's a bit boring
Maria - god no. Must be one of the most common names in the world.
Freya - it's lovely and my favourite in your list but as you said, shockingly popular and will date.
Rose - not keen on flower names, they feel dainty and delicate, I prefer a strong kickass name for my girls but obviously you may feel differently.
Eve - hmm. Not keen on the whole Eden garden story and it's a really short names, feels curt and abrupt to me. I'd much prefer Evelyn.

I like Emma, Alice, Lucy & Rose. How about Anna for a similar vibe?

I like Freya and Louisa the best.
Cecily is lovely, I used to know one but everyone called her Cece.

Favourites - Eve, Rose
Like - Alice, Lucy
Don't like so much - Louisa, Maria, Freya

Wow that's a tiny secondary school!

When dd started school in 2002 there were 3 Alice's and 3 Imogens out of 12 girls! Once she was in 6th form there was an Alice and an Imogen in every year of about 80 girls. Quite interesting there was such a concentrated demograph in one particular school!

This business of two in the class - we have a funny thing at our school. There is only one Grace, one Jack, one Oliver etc But there are duplicates of far more unusual names - duplicates of a girl and a boy who are both outside the top 100 names. Because their parents wanted them not to be one of two in a class - and now they are! Referred to as Amadeus P and Amadeus S (Amadeus isn't the name but along those lines) exactly as their parents didn't want!

Basic, safe names are popular for a reason. They do the job perfectly. Any of the names you have chosen are nice. And in the future with a complete lack of privacy it may be nice to be difficult to google! Alice Green or similar. Nice name, loads of them, hard to locate.

Love Emma
like Louisa
Don’t personally like Maria but nothing wrong with it

I’d strike off Lucy because it’s wet and Alice, Freya, Rose and Eve because they’ve all been done to death recently

Maria is a beautiful name to say. It flows and works beautifully at any age. It won't date because it's already dated. I think it will become more popular soon as it's been overlooked until now.

Louisa is lovely but I don't like the eez sound.

Ultimately it's very subjective and who cares if people like it or not. You're the one who will be saying it.

Alice and Eve are very overused. Likely to be two in the class. Emma was so overused in the 80s that we are still saturated.

Lucy is a difficult name to dislike and a child or adult could carry it lightly. My only misgiving is that it seems very slight, somehow. It's difficult not to think of gingham. That said, I would be delighted to meet a baby Lucy. Make sure you like Lulu and Luce though! I like Juliet but could never use it because I can't stand Jules.

I like Lucy, Louisa, Emma and Rose best for a first name.

I like Alice as a second name following a name without an SSS sound. ie Mary Alice or Jane Alice.

Emma - classic, unfussy. Would use
Alice - classic, unfussy. Would use
Lucy - classic, unfussy. Like
Louisa - like
Maria - like, works internationally
Freya - nice when I only knew one. Now meh
Rose - not keen, very boring as a middle name. Like Rosalind, Rosamund and Rosanna. Not keen on Rosa, Rosemary and Rosale. Rosie too popular
Eve - nice when I only knew one. Still nice but I dislike Eva, Evelyn, Ava, Ivy etc and it just blends in with those

Cecily is beautiful, I also love Clara and Cara. I think I read too many old fashioned books when little like A Little Princess and Heidi!

I like them all. I like classic names. Emma is my favourite, then Maria. Freya was very popular recently which puts me off it a bit and I wouldn't choose Eve because of all the Evies.
