Favourite is Alice

OK:
Iris
Penelope - a bit too long
Violet

margot sounds fairly old fashioned, the others are too overused. penelope is pretty, but the non phonetic spelling always irked me. might be just me tho Confused

Margot
Iris
Alice
(although if such things matter to you I suspect Margot is about to explode in popularity)

(Not Alice, the paedo associations of Alice in Wonderland have ruined the name for me.)

Weird take. Maybe a reason not to use Lewis or Charles but as a reason not to use Alice it’s a very niche bit of victim-blaming.

FayCarew · 17/12/2022 09:49

Not Emelia - it looks like you can't spell

Hobbesmanc · 17/12/2022 09:20

They're all lovely apart from Darcey which feels that it will date easily like Brooke or Courtney.

I think the various Sophia versions make it too ubiquitous to be honest. Iris is gorgeous as is Margot.

RambamThankyouMam · 17/12/2022 09:12

Margot - awful. Sounds like maggot. Becoming inexplicably popular.

Iris - not a pleasant sound.

Grace - ugly sound.

Penelope - like a fish flopping on a dock.

Sophia - nice but ten-a-penny.

Violet - violent.

Alice - nice.

Darcey - awful.

Figgypudding123 · 17/12/2022 09:10

Alice or Violet.

Not really sold on the others...
