I like Ava. I would like Delilah if it wasn't so associated with two songs. Don't like Maddie as it is made up of the words Mad and Die.

ShouldersBackChestOutChinUp · 29/05/2022 21:50

Ava

Benjispruce4 · 29/05/2022 19:39

Not sure if you know but Malia is a pretty lively (think clubbing and raving) resort on Crete.

Benjispruce4 · 29/05/2022 19:38

I only like Ava from your list. Good luck .

17caterpillars1mouse · 29/05/2022 19:37

Aisha - I really like it, assuming it's being pronounced Eye-sha? It's different, but well known. Cute but sophisticated

Delilah - not a fan as I don't like the shortening Delia, Della or Lilah.

Maddie - I like as a NN for Madeline or Madeleine. Maddie on its own makes me thing of dance mum's

Malia - not a fan. It's pretty just not my style

Rhiannon - ok, feels a bit dated and I don't like the shortening Rhian. Annie could be a cute NN though

Talia - pretty and lends itself to Tallie which I've always thought is a lovely NN. Kinda feels like it's missing the Nat off the front though. I love Talitha which you might like?

Ava - it's nice enough, but a bit meh, especially compared to some of your other choices

KirstenBlest · 29/05/2022 13:10

Aisha - very popular for teenagers around here
Delilah - awful
Maddie - not keen
Malia - is it Mal-ya or Mal-ee-a
Rhiannon - lovely when pronounced properly, not great when said as Ree-annun
Talia - ok
Ava - don't like it

DogsAndGin · 29/05/2022 09:52
  1. Madeline
  2. Ava
  3. All the rest are not to my taste
Cryingintherain99 · 29/05/2022 09:43

My favourite would be Delilah, closely followed by Malia and then Talia.

As another suggestion - I really like Amara, and seems to fit with the names you like?

Arcticlife · 29/05/2022 09:29

Suggestion, Dahlia (kind of along the same lines of Delilah and Talia...?)

Luredbyapomegranate · 29/05/2022 09:22

Others you might like

Elowen, Maryam, Marianne, Rosen, Roslyn, Selene (Sell-ee-nee), Ismene (Iz-me-ne), Ida, Astra, Stella, Melinda, Marina, Talitha, Tara, Sabrina, Saskia, Fernanda

Luredbyapomegranate · 29/05/2022 09:18

Yes
Rhiannon - time for a revival
Delilah - bit frilly but nice

OK
Maddie - as long as short for Madeleine
Ava - lovely but oh so overused

No
Aisha - naff n 90s
Malia - Meh
Talia - Meh

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 29/05/2022 00:27

Malia - favourite, beautiful and very underused
Talia - my fave instead if it was the Greek Thalia spelling, very elegant
Rhiannon - lovely, poetic and awesome Fleetwood Mac song!
Ava - shame it's so popular as its very pretty and nice and simple
Delilah - nice and lyrical sounding but just too trendy for me now

-Big gap-

Aisha - really never liked the sound, too harsh
Maddie - again, not a nice sound although Madeleine is lovely

Moonflower12 · 28/05/2022 23:26

Rhiannon definitely.
My horse has it as her middle name as I didn't have any children to give it to! At the time.

I now want to know your horse's first name 😂

user3199 · 28/05/2022 23:41

I like Ava. Not keen on the others, sorry. My least favourite are Delilah (just makes me think of song) and Aisha (just not a nice sound to me, maybe it's my accent).

Some suggestions -
Lydia
Ailsa
Eira
Felicity
Thea
Marianne (Mari)
Claudia
