Anna and Caroline would be my favourites

Needanewname42 · 21/05/2024 15:19

Anna and Louisa are my favourites amongst them. Anna and Hannah were on my list for girls

Lily, Helen and Caroline are nice, just wouldn't make my short list.

Ingrid when said softly is lovely but at other times it sounds really rough and I don't like what it looks like on paper.

Shallot sounds pretty, could be Shal, Lottie or Shally for those all important nn options.
Pearl is ok
Scallion might be a bit yooneek

I love Caroline - it's due a comeback. Love Caro.
Anna is beautiful as is Helen.
I dislike Lily.

Anna. Not the others.

  2. Helen/a
  3. Louisa/Eloise

I like Caroline the best of those. Really do not like Anna (personal reasons) but many do!

DuchessOfSausage · 21/05/2024 15:13

Which onions would you prefer?

Lily - nice but overused. I really don't like Lil, Lilian, Lilith, Lilia etc
Jane is nice. Makes me think Jane Austen.
Helen is so much nicer than the Helena, Elena, Ellen, Ellie type names.
Louisa - I prefer Louise but it's nice.
Ingrid - I like it and it's a bit different.
Anna - I like it and it works internationally
Caroline - like it

I once saw Charlotte confused with shallot....

I like all your choices, except Ingrid. My favourite is Louisa, runner up Caroline (and Jane would go nicely as a middle name for either

Heh onions. I like Anna. It's timeless
