Would only consider Celeste and Josephine out of those, both lovely but Celeste best

IDidntWearASmileToday · 15/02/2024 19:23

Celeste. I'm finding out the sex of DC2 next week and it's on my list if it's another girl

They are all nice.
My favourites are Louisa and Mabel.

HotToes · 15/02/2024 13:47

Rose but What about Marabella

Growlybear83 · 15/02/2024 13:45

Lucy, Louis, or Josephine. Celeste makes me think of the elephant in the Babar stories, and it's just downright cruel to call a child Mabel. 😆

I feel it's a pity that the name Ashley has fallen out of favour, it's so lovely. But I get it, it's dated.

it is not a nice name - it is a name you give to signify dedicating a child to mother earth - you only do this to appease her if she is claiming your children anyway. You dig up all previous dead children and rebury them face down, and name the next child Ashly, Eartha, Cley or similar to cast a spell. Nasty origin of name, even though it sounds nice

Love Lucy and Louisa. Josephine's OK. Not keen on the rest. Rose is done to death, and I much prefer Rosa. Ashley is very strikingly unlike your others - it's unisex (IMO), and not in a good way tbh.

CJ4713 · 15/02/2024 13:39

Lucy- like
Celeste- its ok
Rose-like
Joelle- I think of a struggling country Western singer for some reason. Maybe I'm thinking of the name Joline, but I don't like either name.
Ashley- not keen, and might get spelt Ashleigh
Louisa- Lovely and my favourite from your list
Josephine- 4 syllables, so will likely have a nn. Dont't like it.
Mabel- Good for a dog, but not keen on for a human name.

These three but I like the other spelling of Luisa and tréma on the e of Joëlle

Sandysandwich · 15/02/2024 13:37

Rose and Josephine - I like Josie

Joolsin · 15/02/2024 13:35

I like Mabel. Rose is nice but I prefer Rosa. Like the nickname Effie for Josephine. I don't like any of the other names and think Joelle is really bad - 1970s country music bad!

WaltzingWaters · 15/02/2024 13:35

Rose or Josephine (Josie)

Celeste 100%

Onelife2024 · 15/02/2024 13:33

Lucy is my favourite- one of my favourite ever names! Love Rose too. Louisa is also nice. I have a soft spot for the name Mabel too, although I think it’s a bit marmite so I don’t know if I’d be brave enough to use it!

I love Josie, just not quite so keen on Josephine.

Celeste and Ashley are ok names just not my usual taste.

I’m not keen on Joelle.
