FrankieNeverRelax · Yesterday 22:04

most of these names are very trendy which means lots of people like them but also mean these will become the Sarah’s, Jane’s and Emma’s in the future. Nothing wrong with that though!

Mumofgirls2017 · Yesterday 21:59

Amelie- it’s nice, but may get confused with Emily/ Amelia etc
Autumn- Love
Annabelle- Love
Arabella- ok
Clara- love, classic, pretty
Connie/ Constance- Connie reminds me of casualty character and find Constance frumpy
Emilia- blah, too mixed in with Amelia, Emily etc
Heidi- like
Juniper- Love
Phoebe- I should like it, but I just don’t like the feel of it
Pollyanna- love it but would never call a child it
Primrose/ Posie- love it
Rosanna- 90s
Sophia- bland, met so many, pretty as it is
Zara- cool, though don’t love it

overall a brilliant list, despite my personal views you can’t really go wrong!

Firebird83 · Yesterday 17:24

I like Clara, Constance/Connie, Rosanna, Sophia and Zara. I like Annabel but not the Annabelle spelling.

DramaAlpaca · Yesterday 15:59

Amelie - nice if you happen to have a French accent, but not otherwise
Autumn - not keen; I don't like 'season' names
Annabelle - too frilly, but Annabel is nice
Arabella - I've always had a soft spot for this one
Clara - like a lot
Connie/ Constance - I adore Constance
Emilia - a nicer version of Amelia
Heidi - goats and pigtails - I really dislike this one
Juniper - prefer Juno, but it's OK
Phoebe - nice
Pollyanna - heck no! But I like Polly
Primrose/ Posie - I don't like the 'Prim' bit. I see Posy as a diminutive for Josephine, but it would work for Primrose too
Rosanna - my favourite of all the 'rose' names
Sophia - lovely
Zara - also lovely

ToadRage · Yesterday 15:10

Amelie - Cute but prefer Amelia
Autumn - Not a fan of seasons as names, only one I would consider is Summer.
Annabelle - Nice sound but prefer spelling Annabel
Arabella - Love this name
Clara - Don't like, too similar to Clare which I also don't like.
Connie/ Constance- old-fashioned in my opinion and not nice.
Emilia - As before, prefer Amelia, I think the A spelling looks nicer.
Heidi - I like this one.
Juniper - Seriously?
Phoebe - Very common.
Pollyanna - Don't, please don't
Primrose/ Posie- I like Primrose but not Posie.
Rosanna - Reminds of the old tv show, not in a good way.
Sophia - pretty but prefer Sophie.
Zara - No.
