Ava - nice enough, not blow you away nice but a nice wearable name.
Ayla - is this said as Isla? Or Ayla like the sound of Taylor?
Isla - it’s pretty but I work in nurseries and I know about ten million.
Nina - really pretty, quite unusual, I’ve never met one.
Sienna - same as Isla, pretty name but so so popular in my area, I know lots of little Siennas!
Gia - it’s okay. There’s nothing actually wrong with it but it doesn’t do anything for me.
Mia - same as Isla and Sienna. Nice but popular. Most Mias I know are now a bit older, probably 9 or 10 years old.
Georgia - nice name, not too popular, cute as a baby but gross up well.
Luella - I’m not keen. I like Louise/Louisa and I like Ella but I don’t like them together.
Eloisa - I prefer Eloise, Eloisa seems like a mash up of Eloise and Louisa.
Rose/a - I like Rose and Rosa, but Rosie is really popular in my area, so I think a Rose/a would maybe blend with all the Rosies.
Sarah - pretty. I prefer it without the h, just Sara, but I know that can be said differently. Really unusual for a baby.
Chloe - really nice. Elegant and pretty, cute for a baby, nice for a girl then a teen then a woman. My favourite I think.

So overall I like Nina, Georgia & Chloe the best! But to be honest you’ve got quite a good list to choose from so I don’t think you could go super wrong anyway. Those are just my personal favourites.

Ava - So overused now, I prefer Eva to this even though both are very popular nowadays.

Ayla - Lovely pronounced ay la not when people pronounce it eye la (which is Isla) which people seem to do on mumsnet… I’ve known 3 Aylas in my 30 years and all have been as it is spelt.

Isla - used to love it but it’s very very overused now, same boat as Ava to me.

Nina - I’ve only ever known one Nina so it’s definitely not overdone imo and I think it’s a lovely sounding name.

Sienna - I love this, and nn sisi (cee cee)

Gia - pretty! also Gianna, Giovanna & Gianina

Mia - a bit nothingy to me.

Georgia - gorgeous name.

Luella - not keen on this

Eloisa - I prefer Louisa

Rose/a - Rose as first name is gorgeous. In the middle it’s way overdone.

Sarah - Different to the rest on your list and a bit more “retro” I guess the last influx of Sarah’s being born was in the 80s/poss early 90s. I think a little Sarah would be quite darling.

Chloe - love this too, I find it really elegant.

Gia, Sienna, Georgia & Chloe are my top ones from your list :)

Georgia is such a beautiful name. I like Eloise but not Eloisa.

BabyYoZenZen · 08/12/2022 19:18

Ava - I think it's a much less nice version of Eva. Every other little girl called this at the moment
Ayla - nice enough
Isla - lovely name, I prefer this spelling
Nina - a bit twee to me
Sienna - dislike
Gia - nice and original - but is it possibly a male Italian nickname?
Mia - really lovely name! My favourite
Georgia - ok
Luella - the sound will be quite trendy but not sure it would be a nice name for an older girl or woman
Eloisa - nice
Rose/a - dislike Rosa, but Rose is lovely and classy
Sarah - bit boring
Chloe - ok, bit boring

Ava - overused, bit boring
Ayla- Isla misspelled?
Isla- pretty, but over-used
Nina- quite like this
Sienna- don’t hate it
Gia- hate it
Mia- hate it
Georgia- quite like it
Luella- horrible, like two names squashed together. Sounds ugly to me.
Eloisa- would go Eloise
Rose/a- very nice, every girl’s middle name though
Sarah- nice, classic.
Chloe- bit 90s? It’s ok

quietnightmare · 08/12/2022 19:08
