Anastasia by far. Gorgeous nickname potential too with Anna, Issy, Stas etc!

timoteigirl · 27/06/2024 20:28

Anastasia but I am a sucker for Slav names.

Anastasia

Anastasia. Really don’t like Meredith.

RogueFemale · 24/06/2024 23:59

Prefer Emma, Anna or Mary.

Emmeline (but pronounced sort of like Emma-leen)

This

KirstenBlest · 22/06/2024 13:29

Emmeline. (Emmuh-leen)
Anastasia is nice but too long and princessy
I don't like Meredith at all for a girl.

Meredith because many people won’t pronounce Emmeline like that - I thought it was emmuhleen

This.

although I prefer Meredith over the others anyway.

Agree with this.

I love Emmeline and Anastasia. I think the most common pronunciation of Emmeline is Emma - leen as others have said, so I’d worry I’d be giving her a lifetime of correcting people.

personally I’m not keen on Meredith.

Meredith
Anastasia is a close second.
Emmeline

KnitnNatterAuntie · 22/06/2024 08:19

Actually, I really love all three! Would be lovely names for triplets😃

Emmeline is my favourite (but I’d pronounce it Emma-leen) - I love the nn Emmy / Em
I also like Anastasia - and like the nn Anna / Annie
Meredith is a good name but I’m not keen on “Merry” as a nn, so I’d want to think of another short version (as everything gets shortened in secondary school in my experience!)

Firsttimebabymummy · 22/06/2024 07:39

Anastasia

RuthW · 22/06/2024 07:24

Would have to be Meredith although I'm not keen due to the other two having different ways of being pronounced
