Linly - looks weird. Linsey is a name.
Delyla - Delilah is ok. Why spell it wrongly?
Nevaeh - tacky
Lilah - not keen
Violet - lovely
Isobel - ok

BorisJohnsonsHair · 01/01/2023 16:28

Please don't give your child a yooneek spelling. Violet is lovely.

DuchessOfSausage · 01/01/2023 16:21

Delayla sounds like a nickname for an unpunctual Layla. Dreadful

DuchessOfSausage · 01/01/2023 16:18

Linly - looks like you can't spell Linley, a surname. Dreadful
Delyla - looks like you can't spell Delilah. Dreadful
Nevaeh - dreadful
Lilah - not keen
Violet - ok
Isobel - will get her name misspelt a fair bit but ok

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 01/01/2023 13:33

Violet
Isobel
Delilah
Lila

All absolutely lovely if spelled correctly.

Neveah is ghastly and wtf is Linly?

There's clearly good taste somewhere, so let it shine!

Bournetilly · 01/01/2023 13:27

Violet or Isobel but I don’t like that spelling I prefer Isabelle.

user1492757084 · 01/01/2023 13:24

Inspired by your list, I love Linley, Isobel, Lila and Lindsay.

Enko · 01/01/2023 12:44

Linly I like this but prefer the spelling Lindley Also like Lindsey/say
Delilah Pretty enough for me
Nevaeh* * Never liked this
Lilah Pretty but not one Id use
Violet ok but popular
Isobel Ok I prefer this spelling to others.

Theemptychair23 · 01/01/2023 10:27

I love Delilah, with Lilah as the shortened version.

mintdaisy · 01/01/2023 09:17

My favourite is Violet

PritiPatelsMaker · 01/01/2023 09:16

Linly - it's an area around here so it's a no from me.

Delyla - Delilah is lovely, but not Delyla.

Nevaeh - awful

Lilah- prefer Leila

Violet - I like it. Not especially current but it's a good name.

Isobel - it's a very popular name, especially when you take all of the different spellings into consideration. I do prefer this spelling out of them all though. DD seems to have so many friends called Izzy that it can be a bit hard to keep track. Mist go by their full name at school.

TheaBrandt · 01/01/2023 08:50

Agree with the majority. She won’t thank you for a lifetime of having to spell her name. Isobel is fine though very very popular. I have teens and the names Izzy and Eve are so common they are generic for girl now

Violet and Isabelle are nice. The rest are varying degrees of awful.

This.

Thruandthru1 · 01/01/2023 08:46

Violet and Isobel are lovely

KeepingTheWaterOut · 31/12/2022 22:20

Violet or Isobel are nice.

The snag with Linly is that anyone hearing it would assume it started with Lyn. You'd get all sorts of odd spellings - Lynlee, Lynnlee, Lynnleigh, and I'd guess some people would mishear and think she was Lynsey.

strawberry2017 · 31/12/2022 22:09

Violet, Lila or Isobel

Mumofgirls2017 · 31/12/2022 22:07

Lilah. How about Delilah nn Lilah?

lesst favourite is Nevaeh sorry!

Summer2424 · 31/12/2022 22:00

Hi @Eleonorex
Lilah or Isobel are nice names

IET · 31/12/2022 21:58

Violet, Isobel and Delilah (spelt Delilah) are fine.

Of those, I like Isobel the most. It's a bit more solid, classic and less likely to date badly. It is very well used, but so are Violet and Delilah/Lilah.

I don't like Linly or Nevaeh, but they're not offensively bad or anything. Nobody is going to recoil in horror when they hear them or anything.

I love the suggestion of Niamh.

NewYearNora · 31/12/2022 21:53

Eleonorex · 31/12/2022 18:23

sorry, written Delayla, not Delyla!

If you can't spell it, what chance does anyone else stand?
I like Violet and don't hate Isobel - but wouldn't consider any of the others with their convoluted spellings.

BlueSuffragette · 31/12/2022 21:52

Isobel or at a push Violet. The rest are awful.

KnottyKnitting · 31/12/2022 21:45

Please don't spell a lovely name with an alternative spelling it just looks awful. I know of a girl with a beautiful Russian name with a made up spelling and it looks utterly ridiculous- as though the parents couldn't spell!

Linly- just no- perhaps Lynn or Lynette
Delyla- Delilah
Nevaeh- Neve or Niamh
Lilah- Lila
Violet- lovely
Isobel- lovely or Isobella? ?

Duttercup · 31/12/2022 21:35

I mean...it picks up towards the end!?

clearlyclelia · 31/12/2022 21:29

Linly - very cute, I kind of like it!
Delyla - should be spelled Delilah!
Nevaeh - nooo
Lilah - prefer spelling Lyla
Violet - lovely!
Isobel - prefer Isabelle
