How would you rank these names?

Georgie (full name Georgina, but I don’t think we’d use it that much)

Sophie

Emilia, shortened to Emmy

Annie (I feel like we need a longer name for this, but struggling - I like Annabel but Baby Annabell is already a key individual in DD1’s life, husband likes Anastasia but I worry that it sounds too Russian which might be a bit weird when we’re not!)

And any other suggestions very welcome!

I really can't see the point of naming a baby Anna then calling her Annie, I'd go with Ann/Anne.

Georgina/Georgie - like
Emilia is lovely but too close to Amelia - not keen on Emmy
Sophie - really like it but Sophia/Sofia too popular
Annie - fine, wouldn't use a longer name, Annabel(le), Anastasia etc too disney

Annie is lovely as it is imo but also like it as Anna.

Sophie is a lovely name, really not overdone where I live.
I love the way Emelia looks written down, but don’t like Emmy and people hear Amelia which I don’t like.
Don’t like George, Georgie, or any variants, it’s dull and lumpy.
Annie is nice but I feel it needs to be more formal and then shortened. Anna? Annalise? Annabel?

I know a Georgia nicknames Gigi which is cute.

All a bit meh and well used apart from Annie which is totally dated.

Emilia is beautiful. Emmy is ok, I know an Emmeline shortened to Emmy and it's alright but I think Emilia is just gorgeous.

Annie is ok, seems to be popular amongst my friends as I know a few now. I love Annabel and Anastasia though.

Sophie is classic but really dull and over done I think. Hundreds of them

Georgie I don't like. Georgia is nicer. I know a Georgina shortened to Ginny and... Hmm. Yeah. Not keen. It's just so harsh sounding to my ears.

My preference would be
Annie
Sophie
Emilia
Georgie

Emmy is cute but I think Emilia would be called the more popular Amelia quite a lot. I would opt for Emma or Emily instead.

Emilia
Annie
Sophie
Georgie

HeyDemonsItsYaGirl · 27/04/2023 09:36

Sophie
Annie
Emmy (not Emilia though)
Georgie (really dislike)

emmathedilemma · 27/04/2023 09:34

In order of preference:
Anna nn Annie?
Sophie
Emilia (I'm not a fan of Emmy though)
Georgie (too cutesy for me)

If I’m honest, I really dislike the names Georgia and Sophie. But Emilia/Emmy is adorable and I’ve always liked Annie!

So I’d say 1) Annie, 2) Emilia, 3) Sophie, 4) Georgia!
