Girls names. For a cousin

My top three are:

Juliet
Gabrielle
Miriam (nn Mimi is so cute)

❤️Eleanor❤️

Why not spell it as Sara then?

@RedOnyx
@FayCarew

No it's definitely as in Saaaarah

The one at my daughter's nursery is pronounced Kee-ara. I'm not in the UK though. I don't see how you'd get Sara though - unless they mean the same pronunciation as Sarah?

I love Iris and Arianne (prefer Ariana though). Esther and Eloise is nice too.

Rebecca feels very 80s, so won't be over-used these days. I used to know a Rebecca whose nickname was Rebbie rather than Becky. Becca or Bex are also options.

I've never been a fan of Lydia. It's just not a nice sound in my opinion. Sophie and Lucy feel a bit boring. Maybe Lucille or Lucinda with Lucy as a short form.

Not this Ciara

Elinor/Eleanor - I like both spellings and it's a nice name
Liora/Leora - Pretty good and quite uncommon
Esther - Not a huge fan
Eden - Gorgeous, very pretty name
Miriam - So beautiful
Evelyn - I really love this but it would cause pronunciation issues as there r two
Iris - Not my favourite
Keziah - Really dislike
Lydia - Very pretty
Rebecca - Not a fan
Eloise - Nice name but getting very popular
Lucy - Love it
Juliet - Pretty
Gabrielle - Nice name
Sophie - Nice name
Rosanna - Not a fan because there are so many Rose names and different spellings. I do like the name Rose on its own though
Joni - Dislike
Arianne - Prefer Ariane and love that but not with your spelling
Alma - Hate
Frances/Francesca - Dislike Frances but love Francesca

Favourites for me are Eden, Miriam and Lydia. But I also really like Eloise, Lucy, Sophie and Ariane.

My favourites are

Eloise
Iris
Evelyn
Keziah

In fact Eloise Iris would be lovely.

Ciara is pronounced Keira usually. Can't see why someone would say it as Sara.

I recently met a Ciara (pronounced Sara as in a long aaaah)

I love Esther, Iris and Lydia.

How about Rafaela?

I love the list! I have removed any names that I wouldn’t use for various reasons (too popular, a bit dull in comparison to the others, anything) and found I’m left with:

Esther
Lydia
Eloise
Juliet
Alma

Esther or Miriam favourites

Least: Gabrielle, Rosanna, Arianne, Eden, Rebecca (I don't like Becky or Bex)

Frances better than Francesca

Lucy and Sophie, ok but I think there are more interesting choices there. Not very exciting.

Anything not mentioned fine.

Elinor/Eleanor - nice.
Liora/Leora - not a fan
Esther - not a fan
Eden - not a fan
Miriam - beautiful
Evelyn - no
Iris - I don't like the sound
Keziah - I'm never sure how to say it!
Lydia - nice
Rebecca - ok
Eloise - ok
Lucy - ok
Juliet - nice
Gabrielle - ok
Sophie - lovely sound
Rosanna - ok
Joni - ok but only because I like Joni Mitchell
Arianne - nice
Alma - ok
Frances/Francesca - Francesca is beautiful

My favourites are Miriam, Francesca and Sophie, with Lydia and Juliet also good choices.

Love these:
Joni - Gorgeous if a little American country music but I love American country music!
Juliet
Eloise
Sophie (all though very popular along with Sophia)
Arianne
Lucy

Alright:
Elinor/Eleanor
Rebecca
Esther
Gabrielle
Evelyn
Frances/Francesca
Rosanna

Horrible:
Alma
Lydia
Eden
Miriam
Iris
Liora/Leora - Sounds like a margarine or laundry powder
Keziah - seems totally random with the other choices and I don't think it sounds nice

In my opinion :) Good luck to your cousin!

I like

Rebecca
Eleanor
Eloise
Sophie
Francesca

Favourites are Miriam or Lydia

Juliet, Eloise, Iris, Eden or Esther. Also Joni!

Eloise, Joni, Arianne are my favorites

Keziah is the only one I’m not keen on

Elinor/Eleanor - to me these have different pronunications, Elinor is noor at the end, Eleanor is neh at the end. I prefer the Elinor pronunciation but prefer it spelt Eleanore

Liora/Leora - I like the sound but both Spellings just look made up to me

Esther - lovely name, i like the nicknames Essie and Ettie

Eden - prefer on a boy

Miriam - i like it but always feel its quite a heavy name on a child. Will obviously be fibe for most of her life as an adult. Miri is cute

Evelyn - pretty but its just so overused in my area. Evelyn's and Evie's everywhere. Plusses the similar Eva.

Iris - lovely name

Keziah - not a fan

Lydia - love it
Rebecca - i would love to meet a little Rebecca

Eloise - not a fan

Lucy - nice enough

Juliet - its ok

Gabrielle - not a fan

Sophie - nice but very popular along with all the Sophia's who go by Sophie too

Rosanna - very pretty. Would she like Marianne too. I always think it has a similar feel to Rosanna and Miriam

Joni - nope

Arianne - not a fan

Alma - lovely

Frances/Francesca - like Francesca but always think Frances sounds a bit cold on a girl.

Eden
Iris
Lucy

Esther - like
Miriam - like
Lydia - like
Lucy - like
Sophie - love but Sophia is overused
Iris - OK
Keziah - OK but don't like it said as Kezzya
Rebecca - OK but was very popular in the 1990s
Eloise - OK but a bit of a mouthful. Gets misspelt as Elouise which is horrible
Juliet - OK but don't like it said as Julie-Ett
Gabrielle - OK, seems dated
Rosanna - OK but will be Ros or Rosie
Joni - cute but prefer Joanie
Alma -OK
Frances/Francesca - OK, will be Fran or Frankie

Arianne - sounds like a rocket or something
Liora/Leora - neither OK
Eden - a bit trendy. Not keen on it.
Evelyn - don't like. Will be Evie

Francesca or Sophie are my favourites.
