Rosalind is my favourite, followed by Juliet and Adelaide.

The only one I don't really like is Felicity.

Floppyearedlab · 26/07/2026 22:53

Juliet and Celine

Love French sounding names.

WWomble · 26/07/2026 22:43

Clara, Tessa, Hazel are my favourites, also in the same group for me would be Nina.

Peanutlicious · 26/07/2026 22:36

All really lovely. I particularly like Adelaide, Felicity and Eleanora

User6761 · 26/07/2026 22:30

Tessa is my favourite.

CypressMoon · 26/07/2026 22:15

Love Clara best. Thea second, Rosalind third

OccasionalHope · 26/07/2026 22:12

Rosalind. Beautiful and elegant but there is a quiet strength to it too.

middleagedandinarage · 26/07/2026 22:00

Juliet, closely followed by Thea.
Hazel and Clara are nice too

Giraffehaver · 26/07/2026 21:55

Hazel and Tessa

I really love

Rosalind - it has a whimsical feel to it, makes me think of flower crowns and fairies

Adelaide - lovely, classical feel but has always been underused. I also love Adeline / Adaline but think its on the up popularity wise

Eleanora - beautiful, so much nicer than Eleanor / Elinor - i would worry she'd bevome just another Ellie though. I like Ella and Nora

Clara - lovely but is definitely having a bit of a moment. Would make a lovely, unexpected middle name.

Holly is nice too but a little blander than the others. Still lovely though.

My least favourite is Juliet. I just find the sound harsh and i dislike Jules

Celine i just think Dion.

delshell · 26/07/2026 21:42

Felicity and Clara

eeemes · 26/07/2026 21:35

Eleanora is the only one I really like

LivingTheDreamish · 26/07/2026 21:35

Juliet. Instead of Eleonora, how about Leonora?

darkandgloomy · 26/07/2026 21:17

Adelaide, Felicity and Eleanora

Dislike Juliet, Julie will be her name and it's frumpy.

smelps · 26/07/2026 21:14

I like Felicity and Hazel

NamingNoNames · 26/07/2026 21:11

Like:
Tess
Rosalind (with Ros as a short version)

OK:

Hazel, Holly, Tessa
Felicity but Flick is horrible
Juliet - I like it but some will say it as Julie-Ette, which I don't like

Dislike:
Adelaide, Celine, Clara, Eleanora, Thea.

Eli55 · 26/07/2026 21:07

Holly & Clara both lovely names!

Saintsgirl7 · 26/07/2026 21:04

Oh I love Eleanora, it's beautiful.
I'm not a fan of any of the others, but I really struggled trying to find girl names as always swayed towards french names, thankfully we had a boy!

Pixilicious1 · 26/07/2026 21:02

Thea
Eleanora
Clara

Spidey66 · 26/07/2026 21:01

I prefer Eleanor to Eleanora. I also like Felicity from your list.

SpottyAlpaca · 26/07/2026 20:09
