So Elsa is out 😂
Please rate our current short list. We are aware that most of these are extremely popular, this doesn’t bother us! Just which you think is the nicest :)

Hattie (don’t like Harriet or Henrietta)
Evie (again this would be full name, dislike Evelyn/Eve)
Ella
Lily
Heidi

Thank you!

@PickledScrump I loved Elsa but it has been firmly vetoed by my other half based on Frozen associations :(

Are there any other longer length versions of Hattie out there bar Harriet and Henrietta? Not opposed to a longer name per se, we just don’t like either of these.

Hattie: 6/10 cute for a baby and child, would an adult Hattie crave a longer form of the name?
Evie: 5/10 bland, nothing wrong with it but nothing spectacular about it either.
Ella: 7/ 10 nice it's a pretty name and your child will be the first one in their class to write their name 😆
Lily: 9/10 love this, it was my number 1 if I had a girl. Never met a Lily I didn't like either.
Heidi: 4/10 nothing wrong with it actually I just personally don't like it.

I pretty much agree with this word for word!

Heidi. So pretty.

Heidi

I think Elsa is by far the nicest.
Hattie is a nice nn but not a full name.
Evie I really don’t like, go to any park or school and you’ll hear loads of Evie’s being shouted. It almost sounds more like a noise people screech now.
Ella is inoffensive, not my taste.
Heidi I really don’t like

lily is the nicest on your current list.

Evie or Ella.
