Pick your favourite and least favourite, please - name for our daughter

Favourite: Chloe
It is a nice name and quite timeless I think!

Least favourite: Shirley
It is quite dated (and makes me think of the film Airplane..! "Surely you can't be serious" "I am, and don't call me Shirley")

Love Jane/Janie and June/Juno

Luana puts me in mind of an old diner waitress with lipstick on her teeth.

Shirley/Beverley/Mary are my mums mates

Like:

Chloe

Dislike:
Luana
Shirley
June
Jane
Beverley
Luanna
Susan

Love May , June and Hope
Don't like Shirley or Beverly so much

Jane favourite and Susan the least.

I like Ava
Beverly is mean

Favourites: Mary or Chloe

OK: Ava, Jane and, surprisingly, I think Shirley - kind of so clunky I think it’s quite cool?!

Dislike: May and June (I don’t like day/month/season names), Hope (same with virtue names…), Susan and Beverly (not ready for a revival) - obviously all just my opinion!

Least favourite: Luanna/Luana. I don’t like this at all!

Chloe is gorgeous I think, my favourite of your names. You may get people saying its very 90s, yes it was popular then but it's also classic. I also love Zoe, did you consider that?

Second fav Mary, very classic, nice sound, about due for a comeback. You can say similar for Jane and Susan (have you considered Susannah?)

I wouldnt pick Ava, nice enough but really overused at the moment.

My least favourite, Beverley, are you serious with that one? Such an ugly name, even when it was popular. I was born in the 60s and there was a Beverley in my class, felt sorry for her for her name.

There were Janes and Susans at school in the 70s but no Marys, that was considered a mum name, so perhaps that means that Mary is due to be revived first, as it seems to go in cycles.

Ava - pretty but really popular and has been for while
Susan - I really like and think it’ll have a come back but the shortening to Sue puts me off a bit
May - same as Ava
Luanna - not a fan, sounds a bit made up and is us pronounced Lu ar na or Lu a na?
Beverly - not keen, bit place name and she’d be Bev which I don’t think is nice
Shirley - also not keen, just don’t think it has a nice sound and also “Shirl”
June - ok but is it her birth month because lots will assume it is
Chloe - really popular about 20 years ago.
Luana - as per Luanna
Mary - love it , probably favourite of all your list. Classic, not overused, everyone knows how to say spell, works for little one or adult and it’s pretty.
Hope - ok but not a fan of virtue type names

Love these

Ava
May
Mary
Hope

1st Mary
2nd Hope

No to all the rest, especially Beverly, Shirley and Chloe.

Hippy/African?

Hope and Chloe best (but Hope is ahead)
Luanne and Shirley least

Ava- Nice enough but a bit overused

Susan- I don’t like Susan. Susie is nice.

May- Much the same as Ava.

Luanna- Not keen.

Beverly- I think this is awful, sorry. I would (inwardly!) assume you were winding me up if you told me you were calling your daughter this, unless I knew it was the name of a much loved relative.

Jane- Inoffensive, I would probably assume she was named after someone.

Shirley- Almost as bad as Beverly.

June- Same as Jane.

Chloe- I think this is nice. It’s a very popular name for my generation, but not so much now.

Luana- Not keen, but prefer it to Luanna.

Mary- Nice, due a comeback I think.

Hope- This is by far my favourite.

I’m sorry if this seems overly harsh, but I am assuming you want honest opinions! 😳

Hope or Chloe.

Beverley Ava Chloe not so....

June Mary Shirley and Jane are lovely...

Ava / ok
Susan / yuck
May / ok
Luanna / no idea
Beverly/sounds like a 40 year old not a baby
Jane / classic
Shirley / No
June / Handmaids tale, got used to it
Chloe / ok
Luana / no idea
Mary / boring
Hope / ok but hippy/African

I quite like Luanne / Luanna - not a name I know so neither too popular or dated like some of the others

Ava May (probably used very commonly together but I like )

Ava Jane

Mary Jane

Jane/June/Hope/Chloe - my favourites, all great choices for a 2023 baby girl

Ava, May - different vibe to above and both overused in recent years (May as a middle name to be fair but I much prefer all 4 above names to May)

I've not keen on the rest. Beverly/Susan are dated and not in a good way. Luanna sounds made up.

Jane and Mary are my favourites. Both really unusual.

Absolutely loathe Louanna. Sorry.

Fave: Susan, Hope
Dislike: Luanna, Shirley and Mary

The others are all nice enough

Ava. Gorgeous but overused now
Susan. Ah, are you giving birth to a 62 year old hospital receptionist?
May meh
Luanna or Luana gorgeous
Beverly. Love it but not sure the rest of the world is ready.
Jane. Bland
Shirley too dated to be cool
June. Quite sweet
Chloe. Always loved it...it's beautiful but quite 90s
Mary frumpy
Hope. Dislike

I like Shirley (due a comeback, might be the next Elsie), Jane (my favourite Auntie's name) and June.
Not so keen on Beverley or Luanna.
I also like Ava, Hope and May, although they are much more popular, so it depends if you are looking for something that would be more likely to be a one off.

Favourite - Mary
Least favourite - Luana / Luanna

Susan a close 2nd for me.
