It’s hard for little ones to pronounce their ‘r’s, so Aurora is a no from me!

JenniferLJ · 12/02/2023 11:52

Rosalie is my favourite:)

Rosecherry · 12/02/2023 11:49

Farrah? Are you or your partner Arabic?

plumduck · 12/02/2023 05:09

Matilda (NN Mazzy?) - nice but no not NN Mazzy..Matty sure.
Aurora (NN Rory?) - No hate it
Rosalie - nope, the rose names are boring.
Isadora - no. Sounds like a fairy tale?
Astrid - no.
Farrah - I like this one but I do think "Mo"
Pippa - lovely
Blake - Lively. But I quite like this one.

SquigglePigs · 11/02/2023 22:11

Matilda (NN Mazzy?) - love Matilda, not keen on Mazzy
Aurora (NN Rory?) - lovely
Rosalie - lovely. May end up a Rosie if you're on with that.
Isadora - cute. Likely to end up an Izzy
Astrid - gorgeous!
Farrah - sorry, I don't like this
Pippa - ok
Blake - sorry, don't like this either

Luredbyapomegranate · 11/02/2023 21:46

Philippa nn Pippa
or Astrid

Matilda (NN Mazzy?) - Matilda is nice but overused. Mazzy flippin awful.

Aurora (NN Rory?) - ok but very of the moment. Rory is a very very popular boys name, so she’s not likely to stick with that.

Rosalie - all Rose names very overused and they all get called Rosie. It’s ok. Rosanna is less twee.

Isadora - it’s nice but she’ll be yet another Izzy

Astrid - of the moment but great

Farrah - nope, naff

Pippa - too babyish as a full name, but a nice nn for Philippa

Blake - nope, naff

PMAmostofthetime · 11/02/2023 21:40

Pippa such a beautiful classic and not overly used name x

xprincessxjanetx · 11/02/2023 20:44

Rosalie

Rauha · 11/02/2023 18:35

I like Isadora and Astrid

Workawayxx · 11/02/2023 18:33

I like all except Blake. Matilda (any nn but mazzy for me though - Matty, Tilly or tilda), Astrid, Farrah and pippa are my favourites.

HuntingoftheSnark · 11/02/2023 18:30

Matilda but Tilly or Tilda, not Mazzy

Twoinapod · 11/02/2023 18:19

Matilda - it’s fine, very popular, please don’t use Mazzy, that is terrible.
Aurora - not a fan, hard for some to say, you’ll have people asking if your a big Disney fan

Rosalie - really lovely
Isadora - not good

Astrid - nice

Farrah - no, makes me think of that one from teen moms
Pippa - it’s lovely and not too common

Blake - only one I’ve known was a boy.

MyCreation · 11/02/2023 10:11

I love Matilda, Isadora and Astrid.
Not a fan of Farrah, Aurora, Blake or Pippa.

Mumofgirls2017 · 11/02/2023 10:03

Love Matilda, Aurora, Rosalie and isadora but would go with Millie/ tillie/ mattie/ Mia/ mila for nn for Matilda not keen on mazzy

LulooLemon · 11/02/2023 09:26

Matilda - yes, but no to Mazzy
Aurora - difficult for some to pronounce
Rosalie - nice, I like Rose and Rosa more
Isadora - too try hard
Astrid - nice
Farrah - no
Pippa - no, it has an unfortunate meaning in some languages
Blake - no

ClaireEclair · 11/02/2023 09:19

I love Rosalie as it’s the name of the main character from one of my favourite films. It was on the short list if I had a daughter.

I also like Matilda but would shorten it to Tilda or Tilly.

ShesThunderstorms · 11/02/2023 09:16

I love Aurora (and Rory), Astrid and Blake.

CastleTower · 11/02/2023 09:07

Astrid, Rosalie or Matilda for me.

I'd shorten Matilda to Mattie though.

DuchessOfSausage · 11/02/2023 08:26

All gorgeous.

The rest, no.

Pippa

Nancydrawn · 11/02/2023 03:47

I love Matilda but am not a Mazzy fan. I suppose if you like that sound you could go Maisie, though it's not amongst my favorite names.
