Help us choose a name from our list

I like Cleo and Ruby.

Cleo and Clio - great.
Chloe - great
Eleanor - great
Emma, Fiona, Cassandra and Isabelle are all fine.

Clio
Emma as second choice

If you switched Cassandra for Cassia I’d probably put that at number one

Clio - great - by far my favourite
Lily - done to death and wet

Eva - nice but done to death - and you won’t get the pronunciation you want
Chloe - ok, quite popular
Emma - a lovely classic
Fiona - ok, probably due a revival
Lilou - no, wet, sounds like a brand of tampon or a toy dog
Shelby - pretty grim 80s Americana
Ruby - nice, was very popular a while back
Isabelle - lovely but too recently overused
Cassandra - ok. Prefer Cassia, less tragic
Isabella - see Isabel
Emmie - too wet as a full name, fine as a nn for Emma/Emily etc
Ellie - done to death
Eleanor "Ellie" - see Ellie

Clio (pronounced like Cleo, but we like it spelt like the muse)** It's a car.
Lily ok but seems very popular, especially in the previous decade.
Eva (we prefer this said the European way so more like EH-va with a long EH sound). God just no. Our town's girls seems almost entirely made up of Eva and Evies.
Chloe. Lovely. Slightly 90s vibe though.
Emma. Classic, ordinary name.
Fiona. Nice name. Not overly popular but not so unusual that it would cause any problems for her.
Lilou ok
Shelby awful. It doesn't even sound nice.
Ruby. Ok but again a lot were born in the previous decade. It you like Ruby how about Pearl or Opal?
Isabelle. Lovely but there are just too many, especially when you add in all the variations of the spellings.
Cassandra. Nice, fairly unusual name.
Isabella. Same as Isabelle, just too popular for me.
Emmie. Sounds like a nickname rather than a full name.
Ellie. Ok but was very popular in the 00s
Eleanor. Nice, ordinary name. Again I doubt it will give her any problems and there are a few nicknames you could use.

Clio or Eva!

Clio - Not a fan unfortunately
Lily - I think it's quite sweet despite the popularity
Eva - Wouldn't the Eh-va just be Ava? Correct me though if I'm wrong. Either way a bit boring
Chloe - I just think it's plain
Emma - Love Emma, very pretty
Fiona - Not for me, Shrek!
Lilou - No? - Is this even a name?
Shelby - Absolutely not
Ruby - I like this a name a not, think it needs a comeback!
Isabelle - Soft spot for this name, think it's super lovely
Cassandra - Not for me
Isabella - Lovely too and I prefer it solely because it doesn't have the Isabel/Isabelle spelling issue where people don't know how to spell the name. Most people don't spell it Isabela so there's that!
Emmie - It's lovely as a nickname, like Emery or Emmeline or Emily
Ellie - Not for me
Eleanor "Ellie" - This is fine, but I prefer Nora for a nickname

Favourites are Emma, Ruby and Isabelle 😊

I only like Chloe and Ruby from your list but wanted to add there is an Eva pronounced Eh-va in dds preschool and it doesn't seem to be an issue, everyone pronounced it Eh-va

Shelby is a really down-market name in my area

Clio is a car, might be setting her up for some “take a ride in Clio” jokes when a teen.

Eva if your in UK it will end up as Ee-va.

I like Isabelle, Lily and Eleanor, I don’t like the others.

I'm not keen on Fiona or Emma. Fiona just sounds really dated and I have never met a nice Emma.

Clio
Emma
Fiona
Cassandra or Kasserine
Emmie

I’d take Shelby over Clio because if you’re going to name your daughter after a car you should definitely make it an expensive classic and not a cheap run around.

But being serious, I like Isabelle and Cassandra best of all. Chloe and Eleanor/Ellie are also nice and IME not overused at all for little ones.

Clio - nice but makes me think of the car
Lily - nice but overdone
Eva - love this but you would have to correct people on the pronunciation which could get tedious
Chloe - lovely, due a comeback I think
Emma - classic but a bit boring for me
Fiona - not a fan
Lilou - I wouldn't know how to pronounce this tbh
Shelby - like this one
Ruby - lovely
Isabelle - not a fan
Cassandra - not a fan
Isabella - not a fan
Emmie - lovely
Ellie - lovely
Eleanor "Ellie"

My favourites are Chloe, Ruby, Shelby and Eleanor (nn Ellie).

We have a Lucy too, what about that? It fits with the style of your list

I know a brilliant Ellie for what it's worth (my 9yo) she's a sweet, bright lovely little pumpkin. If she was born today I would give her a different name because it got way too popular!

I really like Fiona :) what about Leona? congratulations!

Clio (pronounced like Cleo, but we like it spelt like the muse) - OK
Lily - Overused
Eva (we prefer this said the European way so more like EH-va with a long EH sound) - It tends to be said with a short Eh sound in mainland Europe, and it's very popular said as ee-va. You'd be insisting on a unique pronunciation.
Chloe - was too popular about 20 yrs ago
Emma - fine
Fiona - ok
Lilou - sounds like a brand of tampons
Shelby - no
Ruby - ok
Isabelle - overused
Cassandra - ok, Cassie is nice
Isabella - overused
Emmie - no
Ellie - overused
Eleanor "Ellie" - overused

Clio - I quite like it, but it sounds like a cat’s name to me, I don’t know why.

Lily - I like the name, but there are a lot of Lily’s

Eva - I think the way you want it pronounced, it will get mispronounced depending on where you live in the world.

Chloe - I like this name. It has a 90s feel, but at the same time it’s a nice name.

Emma -timeless name that I like.

Fiona - no, too old-fashioned sounding in a bad way.

Lilou - no, sounds like a character in a children’s TV show

Shelby - really do not like

Ruby - a nice name. I hear it less these days, though do know a child called Ruby.

Isabelle - every other child’s name, though it was on my name list when I was pregnant because I do like the name.

Cassandra - no. Really, really dislike this name. I would prefer just Cassie.

Isabella - again, every other child’s name. There are 3 in my daughters class.

Emmie - Don’t like. Sounds more like a nickname.

Ellie
Eleanor "Ellie" - I know 4 women called Ellie, none of them are very nice and it clouds my judgement on this name. Eleanor I really don’t like.

I mean Eh-fa in German

Not always. It's pronounced Yeh-va in Eastern Europe and Ee-fa in German.

Cassia is much nicer than Cassandra and still gets cute Cassie nickname if that’s why you like it? Also Cassia is fresh and beautiful but rare

I like Cleo - spelled like this - and Eleanor, but hate Ellie. I like nickname Nell though. Eva is always said with a long e sound? So confused by this comment.

I like Ruby and Isabelle (Izzy) most on your list.

I think the pronunciation of Eva will be confusing, assuming you are in UK

Clio - Very nice, haven't met any.

Lily - I love this name, beautiful, but think it is overused.

Eva - Another one I adore, but there are many of them around right now.

Chloe - A bit dated, I don't really see many small ones (was very popular when I were at school in the 00s)... I actually think it's very pretty.

Emma - Dull... I like Imma though.

Fiona - I have a bad association, I'm not keen

Lilou - Quite pretty, haven't heard it in life.

Shelby - Never met one. I think it's really cute for a child but also works as an adult.

Ruby - Lovely, very common atm though again.

Isabelle - Beautiful, I think it's nicer than Isabella.

Cassandra - It has a dated feel to me but it is a very classy name. Cassie is a beautiful nn.

Isabella - Much prefer Isabelle

Emmie - Cute, better than Emma. Have you considered Emer?

Ellie - Common and boring to me.

Eleanor "Ellie" - I don't like Eleanor or Ellie.

My top 5 from your list would be:

Isabelle
Shelby
Clio
Chloe
Lilou

Cleo - like it.

Clio - I'd think you've named your DD after a car.

Sorry: Lily, Eva, Emma and Ruby are my favourites.
