Skylar - just no
Avery - love
Piper - shouldn’t be a first name
Nova - nice
Savannah - nice

Apart from Skylar I actually like all of them. I know a Summer and I’ve always thought what a beautiful unusual name.

They are definitely all what I'd call "trend names" - though some less on trend now, which, ultimately, is the issue with this type of name. I say that not to be rude, but so you are aware that's how some will see them. I add that's a UK perspective I'm giving.

Probably Aurora is the most timeless, but like others, I find Aurelie (or actually Aurelia) prettier.

Aurelia is lovely - I'd just foresee a life time of the poor girl having to spell it out / people mispronouncing

Harper - surname. Too associated with the Beckhams
Summer - nice meaning but not a nice sound
Darcie - downmarket and already dated.
Autumn - nice sound but too seasonal
Sienna - downmarket
Aurora - nice meaning but doesn't sound nice
Skylar - dreadful
Avery - dreadful. Office scales brand
Piper - quite a nice sound but downmarket
Nova - 1980s hatchback
Savannah - Chavannah

😂I do agree @FatRosie - what would your suggestions be?

dancehysterical55 · 24/04/2026 11:58

Avery

I like Summer and Avery, as I can imagine adult women with those names.

How about Riley, Romy, Wren, Nora, Ruby Addison.

lemoncrisp · 24/04/2026 11:23

None of them to my taste (I'm old😁)

FatRosie · 24/04/2026 11:22

Mischance · 24/04/2026 08:36

Oh goodness - sorry but don't like any of them!

Same here. They seem downmarket and dated.

FatRosie · 24/04/2026 11:20

Orally or Oh really.

Melsy88 · 24/04/2026 11:18

IamtheDevilsAvocado · 24/04/2026 07:48

Aurélie is a lovely alternative?

Oriana?

Aurelie = Orally. I wouldn't set a child up to a lifetime of this!

Harper - really dislike, harsh sound
Summer - lovely if slightly dated
Darcie - not a nice sound
Autumn - ok
Sienna - nice but dated
Aurora - nice
Skylar - ok
Avery - not a fan, prefer it for a boy
Piper - i only like this because of Charmed (!) Otherwise would dislike it similarly to Harper.
Nova - not a fan
Savannah - nice

I'd go Savannah, Summer or Aurora.
Maybe similar vibe:

Marlowe
Maeva
Everly
Winter
Ember
Melody
Harmony
Spencer
Blair
Blake
Melissa

DailyRitual · 24/04/2026 08:26

Your taste isn’t mine. I’d read these as ‘Slightly dated American’?

Aurora if I had to, but I think a lot of people find it tricky to pronounce with the ‘r’s and the ‘au’ and ‘o’ sounds.

DinoDances · 24/04/2026 08:23

Love: Summer, Autumn, Sienna, Aurora

Like: Harper, Darcie, Avery

Dislike: Skylar, Piper, Nova, Savannah

You seem to like seasonal names and ones starting in A or S best looking at the list. So how about April, Juniper, Clementine, Celeste, Sadie, Stella, Sage, Serena, Briar
