DH and I both like all the names below, but none of them really jump out at us, so other opinions would be helpful.

So far we like:

Jessica
Ella
Olivia
Skye
Lucy
Sylvie
Cleo

Thank you!

Jessica - lovely but I think this will date
Ella - I put this with the Avas and Evies, doesn't have any meaning
Olivia - beautiful but so over used maybe Olive?
Skye - lovely but associated with the mean girl
Lucy - see it as very overused and dated. I think this will be the Sharon of the future and I hear Lucy and think loo-seat.
Sylvie - beautiful and unique, my favourite on your list.
Cleo - lovely name and my very close second

DuchessOfSausage · 20/04/2023 19:22

Jessica - like it
Ella - overused and a bit nothingy
Olivia - overused
Skye - not keen
Lucy - like it
Sylvie - middle-aged french woman
Cleo - like

In order: Jessica, Lucy, Cleo
depends which sounds nicest with the surname

I love Clio!

Zoe Thea Talia

Rebelmcstreettuff · 20/04/2023 18:53

I like Jessica or Lucy.
I know a 25 year old Jessica who was Jessy when younger but she now prefers Jess,think it's a very versatile name.

DoNutSweatTheSmallStuff · 20/04/2023 18:39

Other suggestions:
Sophie
Chloe
Lauren
Anna
Thea
Bethan

Maya

Ella and Lucy are my favourites.

My dd's are 8 and 10 and there are s lot of Olivia's and Jess's at their school.

Not keen on Sylvie, Skye or Cleo.

Newusername123456 · 20/04/2023 18:34

Love Sylvie, Ella and Cleo

ourflagmeansdeath · 20/04/2023 18:32

Jessica - I don't like it
Ella - It's okay, but plain
Olivia - Same as Ella
Skye - Seems chavvy
Lucy - Lovely, gorgeous name
Sylvie - Beautiful but prefer Sylvia
Cleo - I dislike

So Lucy for me but I like Sylvie too

Oh just realised you asked for other opinions, not other ideas!!

GoodVibesHere · 20/04/2023 18:29

Jessica is lovely.

I also like Penny (Penelope), Lydia, and Louisa.

SunshineAndFizz · 20/04/2023 18:29

Jessica or Lucy.

DramaAlpaca · 20/04/2023 18:28

Apart from Ella, which is insubstantial, that's a lovely list (and I don't often say that on here.

My favourites are Lucy and Jessica, with Cleo up there too.

YellowGreenBlue · 20/04/2023 18:25

I love your list! Jessica, Lucy and Olivia are my favourites, Cleo and Skye are my least favourites. Alternative suggestions: how about Tess / Tessa and Summer?

Jessica or Lucy. Absolutely gorgeous and underrated names. Classic.
