Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Celeste because I’ve never met a Celeste (and I’ve met a lot of people). I love Celeste.

Shakespear’s Rosaline? Mm not keen. Prefer Viola.

Lily’s cute too. But there are a lot of Lilies around here.
Scarlett is a bold choice. One of my favourites on your list. Great list x

17caterpillars1mouse · 31/07/2023 18:24

Will rate 1-10. 10 = love, 1 = hate

Celeste - 4
Nina - 5
Jasmine - 9
Lucie/y - 8 prefer Lucy
Lily - 6
Daisy - 3
Eva - 4
Vivienne - 8 really like Vivvy
Anna - 7
Juliet - 4
Louisa - 8
Rosalind - 9
Maria - 2
Scarlett - 6
Eloise - 4
Dahlia - 2 - I actually know a 1 year old Dahlia and her parents often get annoyed that people don't pronounce it correctly

OverTheCountryClub · 31/07/2023 18:17

Your list is great! It's easier to give the ones I don't like - Eva, Anna and Dalia. I don't hate them, just wouldn't use them! Top 3 - Celeste, Nina and Vivienne.

Celeste - 7. I think it's pretty but strong and I've only ever met one.
Nina - 6. I'm quite ambivalent about this though it's nice enough. I've taught several in the last few years but all from Indian backgrounds. That might just be coincidence though.
Jasmine - 6. Nice enough but I've never been able to separate it from Disney Princess vibes.
Lucie/y - 6. Quite like it but seems a bit boring somehow.
Lily - 6. Same as Lucy, really.
Daisy - 6. And another in the same vein as Lucy and Lily. Nice names, just not very imaginative.
Eva - 7. Although another very popular one, I actually prefer the sound of this one. I think the a ending makes it more elegant and timeless than ie.
Vivienne - 7. Pretty and unusual.
Anna - 7. Simple and pretty. Not too popular.
Juliet - 9. Love this. One of my favourite names and not too popular.
Louisa - 4. I don't know why but I have never liked this. Can't explain it.
Rosalind - 5. It's ok but much prefer Rosanna, Rosalie, Rosemary and Rosamund.
Maria - 6. Timeless yet quite unusual (in the UK). Most child Marias I have taught were Spanish.
Scarlett - 6. Not keen but bumped up in my mind because I have taught such lovely Scarletts that it gives me warm feelings towards the name.

Eloise - 7. Pretty. Much more unusual than most of the El names.
Dahlia - 4. Don't like this at all. It's more of a flower than a name to me although I know loads of other flowers are names. Prefer Delilah or even Delia.

Juliet is my favourite by a long way followed by Celeste, Eva and Vivienne.
Louisa and Dahlia are the only ones I don't like though.

Vetoncall · 31/07/2023 16:12

Celeste - no, I think 'Marie' or 'Daphne and'
Nina - OK
Jasmine - OK, bit too Disney
Lucie/y - I absolutely hate the sound of this name but that's just a personal thing 😄 reminds me of 'juicy'
Lily - overused
Daisy - creepy perfume advert
Eva - like this but prefer Eve
Vivienne - Pretty Woman, 'Viv' is awful
Anna - best one IMO
Juliet - nice
Louisa - OK, bit meh
Rosalind - OK
Maria - OK, bit meh
Scarlett - no
Eloise - OK but prefer Eleanor, Elena or Elin
Dahlia - no, I think of the Black Dahlia and it's just not a nice sound

I'd go with Anna, Eve or something like Eleanor/Elena/Elin.

RachelNoire · 31/07/2023 15:54

These are the best ones:
Eloise
Juliet
Jasmine

Lilyoverthevalley · 31/07/2023 13:57

Celeste- lovely but a bit hippy for me- 7
Nina- not keen but maybe because I knew a Nina I didn't like very much- 2
Jasmine- don't love the Disney princess feel- 3
Lucie/y - don't love, a bit 90s- 3
Lily - love, very common now but don't necessarily let it put you off- 8
Daisy - prefer other flower names (Violet, Iris)- 6
Eva - immediately made me think Braun- 2
Vivienne - immediately made me think Pretty Woman- 1
Anna - love, classic and underused- 9
Juliet - also love- 9
Louisa- a bit 90's- 5
Rosalind - love this, sounds so pretty- 8
Maria- pretty name, a little boring- 6
Scarlett- makes me think scarlet woman- 2
Eloise- pretty but it gives me a geeky vibe, not sure why- 5
Dahlia- makes me think of the black dahlia- 2

Sorry if I've been harsh about some names. Some I've said I don't like because they put negative thoughts into my head (e.g. black dahlia) but if I actually knew someone called Dahlia the next time I heard the name I would think of them instead of the negative association, I just don't happen to know anyone with these names.

DuchessOfSausage · 31/07/2023 13:16

OK:
Rosalind - a bit long but nice. I like Ros as a shortening. don't like Rosalie etc
Anna - great
Maria - nice, works anywhere, also like Mary, a bit religious
Lucy - fine

Anna or Lucy with Rosalind as a middle name

Nice but wouldn't pick
Louisa - nice, a bit long, not keen on Lou
Nina - nice enough
Jasmine - ok

OK but wouldn't pick:
Vivienne - prefer Vivien is, not keen on Viv. Some might say it as Vivvy-EN so no.
Eloise - too much of a mouthful, yet another Ellie
Lily - overused
Daisy - a bit twee
Scarlett - too Gone with the Wind
Juliet - lovely but people saying Julie-ETTE puts me off

No:
Celeste - Marie-Celeste
Dahlia - two pronunciations
Eva - Eve is so much nicer
Lucie - twee spelling

uncomfortablydumb53 · 31/07/2023 12:58

I love Louisa and Eloise so I would happily use one of those

I would use Lily, Lucy Louisa and Maria, don´t like the rest.

MumofSpud · 31/07/2023 12:16

Vivienne - 100%

This is the name of my imaginary DD2!

Might seem biased as my favourite is Lily for obvious reasons. Sorry

PossiblyNotOne · 31/07/2023 11:58

Lily is nice but sooooo popular it’s become dull. Especially as every Lily is a Lily-Rose Lily May, Lily Grace.

Eva is the same, really lovely but hundreds of them, and just blends in with the millions of Evies, Avas, Ivys and Evelyn’s (who are all known as Evie). Again all paired with Rose/May/Grace with the is generic middle name for girls currently.

I like Anna and Jasmine and Louisa.
