I have a few in mind, finding it difficult to agree with my other half! Here we go...

Georgie - not georgia or georgina etc
Harlow
Paisley
Brodie
Indie
Willow
Tierney
Seren

Also, if you have any suggestions of names I might like, based on this list, please share.

I am not keen on old fashioned names (Elizabeth, Penelope etc)

Thank you in advance

It's my absolute favourite name but seems to be very 'marmite' unfortunately!

Go with this name. Honestly so what if other people don’t like it. Choose the name you love : )

Livingbestlife · 24/10/2022 07:07

Seren is 100% my favourite from your list x
I think Willow would make a lovely middle name
Seren Willow
So sweet x

Daisybuttercup12345 · 24/10/2022 00:08

Willow and Seren.
Don't like the others.
Meadow
Wynter

Jelly4444 · 23/10/2022 23:46

Seren is beautiful OP. I like Indie too although I prefer India.

whattodo2019 · 23/10/2022 23:30

Willow and Seren are nice. The other names are hideous...

I'm so surprised it's getting such negative responses! I reckon you should go with it anyway if you love it.

Mydogatemypurse · 23/10/2022 19:20

I dont like any tbh.
Georgie at a push

Diverseopinions · 23/10/2022 19:16

Estella is nicer than Estelle, I think, and very good. Lots of scope to alter and abbreviate nicely.

I really like Tierney! I was at school with one, always thought it was a lovely name. Plus the Gene Tierney connection which is very glam.

I like your taste in names, in general, but Tierney sounds too surname-y (I know an Irish Tiernan - boy) and Brodie is a Scottish boys' name in my experience.

You might like to explore Arabic girls names, e.g. Calla was suggested. Aya, Alia/Alya, Zaina(h), Laila??

Calla is lovely! I live in Scotland and I know three girls called Brodie ☺

LOVE the name Tierney. I posted on here about it years ago and was told it’s a surname. Don’t think we are cool enough for it anyway. Taught a really cool little Tierney years ago, she must be a teen now. I vote Tierney.

nelliebear8 · 23/10/2022 13:51

I agree with ppl, Willow and Seren are very pretty but the others aren’t.

rainbowstardrops · 23/10/2022 11:35

I like Harlow, Paisley, Brodie, Willow and Seren.
I love Seren too and have worked with children for 30 years and have never come across one either!

Tia is lovely!

Show quote history

Glad you like Tia - it was on my list too but it didn’t fit with our surname. It means Goddess and has Greek roots. Theia, the long version, was Goddess of sight, sun, and birthed the sun, moon and dawn.

friendtodinosaurs · 22/10/2022 23:35

You asked for a rating so...
out of ten:
Georgie - 3
Harlow - 8 (very pretty and not super common!)
Paisley - 6
Brodie - 5 (I'm so sorry but this does make me think of a lovely little dog rather than a child!)
Indie - 7 (quite cute!)
Willow - 4 (just not sure about this one.)
Tierney - 3 (depending how it's pronounced I suppose it may be higher?!)
Seren- 6

Seren is my favourite from your list. Also love Willow. I’m sorry but I don’t love Paisley or Brodie. They sound like Frat boys to me. Georgie is okay, but meh. If you want to be trampled to death, you just yell “Indie/Indy” around here and pre-teen and teenaged girls will pour like a plague of locusts from almost every home.

Thisisnotmyname2 · 22/10/2022 21:52

I think of Georgie as a nickname rather than a name in itself. Not keen on Harlow or Tierney. Sorry, the rest are ok.

Names you might like- Jodie, Bridie, Hallie. I also know a Paisley with sister Teagan.

HuntingoftheSnark · 22/10/2022 20:20

I know two Harlows and it's grown on me. That's my favourite of your list.

mathanxiety · 22/10/2022 20:11

Suggestions:
Hollie
Hollis
Willa
Bennet
Hadley
Reese
Marley

Perpetuallypregnant123 · 22/10/2022 20:10

Georgie reminds me of Georgie porgie as said above, Harlow is a run down town in Essex, Paisley is a deprived city in the west of Scotland, Brodie is alright but I see it as male,
Indie is alright
Willow is alright
Tierney isn't nice
Seren reminds me of the nerve gas.

What about Astrid, Marlowe, Ada, Rowan, Willa,
