Opinions on these unusual girls names?

Love Leonie, also love Dolly as a diminutive of Dorothy. Zola is OK.

Jay and Chase are boys' names.

I don't like the rest at all. I especially dislike Fallon.

If I'd had a girl she'd have been Dorothy, nn Dolly.

Like Leonie, Noelle and Zola too. Not keen on the others.

None of them are particularly unusual.

Brontë. Not my taste but nice

• Chase too unisex for me
• Dolly love Dorothy with Dolly as nn
• Fallon - just no
• Ginny - a nickname so no
• Jay - too unisex for me
• Leonie lovely
• Noelle too Christmassy
• Zola ok. Reminds me of Zola Budd

Love dolly

I like Ginny and Noelle, not keen on the rest

I'd go so far as saying I hated chase, dolly and Jay. The rest aren't necessarily what I'd choose but I wouldn't pay too much attention to hearing them. None I'm massively keen on. Some would sound ok as a nickname should they have naturally come about - eg Charlotte became Chase as she was an early Walker and you ran around after her - but not a nickname in a premeditated sense

Leonie is nice & not too unusual I don't think.

Fallon is fine too. Not sure any of the others would be my choice TBH.

Brontë - instant association with the Brontë sisters which by definition means the name is pretentious. The whole reason the sisters had that name with the diaeresis is because their Irish father Patrick thought Brunty was too common and wished to hide his ancestry/origins/go up in the world and associate with the aristocrats.

Chase - paw patrol. Boy.

Dolly - noun, the opposite of what I want to teach my daughters they are. Parton. Would assume diminutive but I’m not sure what of - Dorothy?

Fallon - Fox. Interesting association.

Ginny - Weasley. Great Aunt who uses it as a nickname for Virginia. Regardless it’s a diminutive.

Jay - nice bird. Boys name. Would assume it was a nickname and spelt J for a girl short for something. Jayne?

Leonie - it’s a nice enough name, not too keen on feminine forms of masculine names though.

Noelle - see above.

Zola. Footballer. Gianfranco i think? Very famous. Not heard it as a first name or a girls name. Nola?

*pretentious

My Daughter is a Brontë - now 23, not at all twee or precocious! Confident, strong willed, Successful career, great social life, lovely boyfriend.....
She also really likes her name. Our Irish and Canadian family do pronounce it Bron-tay but no one minds.
It's only ever shortened to 'Bee' which i quite like - don't like 'Bron'
Also know another one who is a teenager.
I love Dolly but the cat got that one!

Leonie is my favourite, followed by Fallon and Noelle. I'm not so keen on the others.

Brontë - nice, but a bit twee & pretentious
Chase - boys name
Dolly - nah, sounds like a pets name
Fallon - not particularly feminine, just sounds like a surname
Ginny - nice, but prefer it spelled as Ginnie/Jinnie
Jay - boys name
Leonie - sounds chavvy
Noelle - Like it, but I think she'll just get called Noel by lazy speakers
Zola - sounds like a coldsore cream

Dolly is a nickname or for if you’re a huge Parton fan. Fallon and chase are awful.
Bronte is a bit pretentious.
I rather like both Leonie and Noelle.

Brontë- OK, accept will be a nuisance
Chase- High school jock
Dolly- cute nn for Dorothy
Fallon- don't like it
Ginny- pet form of Virginia
Jay- I only know male Jays
Leonie- Ok
Noelle- ok for a Christmas baby
Zola- Controversial runner

Brontë ok I don’t have strong feeling either way. Bit whimsy and girly

Chase, fucking hell it’s dreadful. Just don’t

Dolly No, the sheep, or the big haired country singer

Fallon love it

Ginny Ghastly horsey and old lady name

Jay it’s a boy name

Leonie Love it

Noelle naw, it’s a granny name

Zola Ok

Brontë- I like it, but it will rarely be written with accent
Chase- Sounds American and male, or a dogs name
Dolly- I'd constantly think of the singer. Might be ok as a nn
Fallon- sounds like a male name or something rude like fellatio
Ginny- Reminds me of Gin. Not keen, better as a nn only
Jay- I only know male Jays
Leonie- Its ok and better than some above
Noelle- I know one born in April. I like it
Zola- Like Cola? Its different, but it the actual work sounds harsh somehow.

Leonie and Noelle, maybe Ginny. Not a fan of the others. I love baby names too.
